Made this recipe and the taste was really good...now I have never tried a souffle before so maybe I did something wrong but it just didn't "puff up" the way I thought it should and I beat the eggs until stiff peaks formed & I gently folded them into the pumpkin mixture but still didn't get a good rise out of it. I could be that I put them in too large of a ramekin....just not sure. I will give it another try because I like the flavor...I'll try using smaller ramekins & see if that makes a difference. So, until next time...I'll give it a 4 star! Thanks! Tagged for Healthy ABC Cooking Tag

I'm a 16 year old Canadian student who just loves to cook. I'm into healthy eating, exercising and cooking for other people. My favorite cookbook would have to be "Light Desserts"; it has the best dessert recipies; they're easy and healthy.
My kitchen utensils are very limited: I have an oven, microwave, blender, electric mixer from 1970, stove and freezer; that's about it.
Besides cooking, I love to exercise, read, study, write and debate.
