Hi! Love your recipes! Quick question on this one? What is the ginger for? I didn’t see it anywhere within the directions but it’s on the ingredient list? Thank you so so much! Can’t wait to try this one this week!
Thank you Anna! I actually have no idea why that’s there haha! So sorry for the confusion. Removed it. This recipe certainly does not require ginger 😉
