It’s amazing how quickly this year has flown by! Now we’re getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving and naturally, I love giving my dishes a special Latin touch. This chorizo and cornbread stuffing is one of my favorites. The combination of flavors is perfect. Make it just a bit more special by serving the stuffing in lightly baked little pumpkins. Simply irresistible!
