creamy cajun veggie pasta close up with penne pasta, red peppers, zucchini, asparagus, mushrooms, and green onions

This recipe can easily be halved; I was making a huge batch for a potluck. It also works really well with a bundle of kale instead of zucchini or asparagus if you prefer; add the kale with the second batch of veggies.

Organic olive oil
1 large organic zucchini, quartered lengthwise and sliced into ¼” pieces
1 pound organic asparagus, chopped into small pieces with stalks and tops separated
2 organic bell peppers (red, yellow, green, orange- whatever the store has)
1 8 oz package fresh organic white mushrooms (or others of your choice)
6 organic green onions, chopped into small pieces
1 13.5 oz can organic full fat coconut milk
2to 3 T organic cajun seasoning (depending how spicy you like it)
1 t organic garlic powder
1 t organic black pepper
Sea salt to taste (about 2 t for me)

1 12-16 ounce package organic gluten free pasta of your choice

In a large pot, cook the package of pasta and drain. Set aside.

In a very large frying pan, saute the zucchini, the stalks of the asparagus and the bell peppers until mostly cooked in olive oil. Add in the tops of the asparagus, the green onions, and the mushrooms. Continue to saute until mushrooms are cooked. Add in the coconut milk and seasonings. Allow to simmer for a few minutes. Add in the pasta and stir well. Serve.

Cherry crumble in a glass pie pan

3-4 cups organic cherries, fresh (or any fruit you’d like) (if frozen, defrosted and juices drained) 
1/4 cup organic cornstarch
1/4-1/2 cup organic brown sugar (depending on sweetness of cherries)

1 tsp organic vanilla extract
2 tsp organic cinnamon
2/3 cup Bob’s Red Mill 1-for-1 gluten free flour (or your favorite gf flour mixture)
2/3 cup organic pecans, chopped into small pieces (I used my Cuisinart)
2/3 cup organic gluten free oats
2/3 cup organic dark brown sugar
1/2 t organic nutmeg
5 T organic coconut oil, preferably solid
1/2 t sea salt

Preheat oven to 350F.

Mix together the cherries, cornstarch, and brown sugar and put in a 9” pie tin. In the mixing bowl, mix together the rest of the ingredients, using your fingers to knead in the coconut oil if solid. Put on top of the pie filling mixture in the pie tin. 

Bake for 60 minutes at 350F or until crumble is golden and cherry juices are bubbling. Cover with foil if it begins browning too quickly before the cherries are cooked.

Allow to cool before serving. Tastes better slightly warm.
