This was one of the very first vegan dishes I tried and was really happy with the ease and how it turned out! To make this a bit more kid friendly for a 6 year old who is getting used to the vegan life style I added a dash of 100% pure organic maple syrup to sweeten it up. Worked well! Thanks for the great, healthy, vegan stuff!!
