Five stars! This was so good. I used asparagus with the broccoli and cauliflower because that’s what I had. Didn’t have any tofu so I stirred in some peanut butter for protein. Delicious! Thank you for another great recipe. Im sorry thé Kickstarter project fell through.
Thank you Claudia. I’m so glad you liked it. We really love this recipe too.=)
