Cajun Food Where You Find It
Cajun French: le radix (lu ra-dee) – radish
Radish Greens – what to do with them? We ask this question because our farmers market radishes come with the greens. Greens are a favorite of ours but we had never used Radish Greens. In researching recipes, most had an Asian flair and as good as the recipes sounded we wanted a Cajun influence. With our Cajun Culture and Radish Greens we developed a recipe that honored our Cajun Culture as well as infusing the Radish Greens.

Cajun French: la pacane (la pa-kan) – pecan
Leftovers.
What does it mean to you? Some people we know will not touch leftovers; others make extra just to have leftovers. For us, leftovers are the beginning of another meal. Today we had a baked sweet potato, rice, and corn – what to do? There was also fresh shrimp. Creativity started and we ended with stuffed shrimp.

We had bananas that were getting over ripe and in our opinion are only good to use in cooking. Always wanting to experiment with whole wheat flour and baking, we decided to try Banana Nut Bread. Once again, we used honey and applesauce instead of sugar and oil. Instead of a bread loaf, muffins were baked. They are dense yet not real heavy nor very sweet.
The muffins are great for breakfast or as a dessert. As a dessert serve with fresh fruit.
