wooohoo someone else doing the whole homesteading thing in wyo! and I thought I was the only one!
This sounds yummy... but pureed cauliflower? I've never heard of it before, but it does sound good!
After all, carrots and cauli's are both veggie's aren't they!
This sounds like a really good recipe! Hope to get around and start making it soon!
