cook's notes
The beans, cayenne and thyme are my adaptation. I also frequently add 1/2 cup cooked quinoa or replace the beans with cooked le puy lentils, I like something to chew on.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

I thought that pumpkin soup would be a strange idea, but it turned out great. I didn't add the nutmeg, mainly b/c I didn' have any. I really is different, so it's a good resipe for those who are tired of the same old soup.
