Is there a substitute for the maple syrup or should I just leave it out, if I’m trying to reduce/eliminate sugar?

Hi Amy, you can definitely reduce the amount of maple syrup to your liking or eliminate it all together. Let us know what you think!

is tofu a good vegan substitute or should I not use this recipe as vegan?

Hi Amanda! Generally, we avoid tofu because it’s not a whole food. We learned from physician Dr. Jen Curtiss that tofu is processed and causes inflammation in the body. We recommend sticking to the other vegan recipes instead if that’s what you’re looking for. Also note that if you like soy, we are ok with edamame or soy beans because they are whole foods.

I made this dish for dinner for myself and my husband, paired it with quinoa and baked seasoned zucchini and it tasted amazing! Such a simple and quick recipe, yet still nutritional! Love!
