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.
