    I can’t get those fingers out of my head- they are so creepy! I love the little frankenstein bowls with the olives – so awesome!

      The finger is definitely purchased. I believe I bought them at the 99 cent store. Feel free to purchase them and serve with the soup 🙂

    Nice recipe but one could also cook steam and mash the cauliflower or make soup with it and the rest of the ingredients and not bake the entire dish (Bell pepper).. No need to destroy any more nutrients and minerals!! RAW FOODS RULE!! Still love the recipe!

I know you’ve got the twitchy eye and all that, and you know I know what causes that. Blast. I wanted you there, but I totally get if you’re over extended. Virtual hugs to you. Take it easy, make sure you are getting some yoga and rest in. Love you to bits and sorry for the extra pressure. xoxoXOOXOxoo (Nacho style)
