Thank you so much for watching and we appreciate your kind words! 🥰 is your family vegan too?

[@tisharodriguez9541]

Enchada sauce is not sweet. It gets its tang from the tomatoes and spices, so probably the coconut sugar. Everything looks so good. Can’t wait to try the sweet potato bake.

[@thehaipath]

Yes I had the intention of making enchilada sauce but it turned out to be BBQ sauce which I actually quite love the flavors of and will use in another recipe! Happy accident 😆

[@my1stlove130]
