Pumpkin Soup is a cheerful addition to any meal, plus it’s full of vitamins & minerals & is a wonderful dish to please the whole family.

Twice the nuts and triple the fruits are stuffed into this moist, subtly spicy and perfectly sweet carrot cake. Buttermilk and macadamia nuts up the deliciousness, and flax seed provides some extra nutrition while cutting down on the cholesterol from eggs. Makes two 10" rounds.

This dish can be used as a main or a side - would also be a great item to take to a party or a pot luck. Your friends won't be disappointed. If you can, use locally grown and organic cauliflower. You'll taste the difference.
