                                          Notes

                                          Caution! Pecans are in the tree nut family, and tree nuts are a common allergen.
                                          Roasted unsalted pumpkin seeds can be substituted for chopped pecans.
                                          Roasted wheat berries can be purchased in pre-roasted form.
