Hi! I just saw your video on SPU’s Facebook page. I’m a blogger and former SPU student as well! I’m also mostly vegan so I was so excited to check out your blog! 🙂 Can’t wait to poke around and make some recipes! – Amanda
Awh I love that!! Thank you so much!! Love SPU 🙂 let me know how those recipes turn out!! Much love.
I will be substituting a peach for the mango since a family member is allergic to mangoes.
I made this last night and sub. peaches for the mango. I would cut down on the tamari by half the next time since it was too salty.
