Thanks so much for this recipe. I had seen ads for the Nomato products but the price would be too high for delivery to Canada in Cdn. funds. Will now look for your book. Thanks again for your help. Jackie.
Hello! Thanks for all of your great recipes. I am finding them really helpful during the strict elimination phase of AIP. I live in Alaska, and don’t seem to be able to source canned sweet potato puree. Would canned pumpkin be a good substitute, do you think, for the nomato sauce?
Thanks again for all of your inspiration!
Hello Stella,
Yes, canned pumpkin puree would be a good alternative! – Sophie
