Mosaic,

This soup sounds yummy! I have a recipe for cauliflower, and hadn't thought about the frozen option, so I may just need to give it a try. It has lots of garlic in it, and is roasted...but then mashed!

: eating on time ( because my body
: LOVES that).... and sometimes I
: get a bit lazy and think, well its
: half one, wont matter if theres no
: green or what if I grab this bit
: of lettuce?

: but it does matter Specially in
: times of stress.

: So I had some cauli in the freezer
