SO HOW'D IT GO?
This was soooo good! Will definately make again. I doubled the non-sauce ingredients; tripled the sauce; added carrots with the potatoes and some chickpeas later with the kale; and swapped coconut sugar for brown. Next time I will lightly coat the carrots and potatoes with olive oil and roast in the oven...I'm lazy:) The boys in my life LOVE IT too...thanks for posting!!!
This was great. My husband liked it too.
This was very, very tasty!!! Super easy to make, good flavor! Definitely a keeper!
