This adds to the crispiness of the crust and it also spreads out the butter fairly evenly. You might find that there are dry patches on the top you can add a bit of lemon juice in those areas if you’d like or see if the juice from the crisp rises to the top.

Continue cooking until the squash begins to soften, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the mayonnaise. Toss the cooked vegetables, brown rice, cheeses, 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs and the egg in a large bowl until mixed. Spray a 9-inch square or 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.

Bake until the squash and zucchini are tender and the top is browned and crisp, about 35 minutes. Serve hot. Make-Ahead Tip: Freeze the baked casserole for up to 2 weeks.

A healthy and delicious way to eat more vegetables at home, without take-out and additives!
INGREDIENTS
1 head organic broccoli (washed)
1 organic sweet red pepper (washed)
1 large onion (peeled)
2 medium-size carrots (washed, ends trimmed)
2 organic celery stalks (washed, ends trimmed)
1/2 large green cabbage (outer leaves discarded)
8 medium-size organic cremini mushrooms (washed, dried)
3 cups brown basmati rice
spring or filtered water
sesame oil for cooking (not toasted sesame)
SAUCE
2 tsp Worcester sauce (look for a vegan sauce and organic if possible)
1/4 cup white wine
1/3 cup coconut amino (soy-free 'soy' sauce, available in health food stores)
2 tsp sesame oil (toasted or not, your choice)
2 Tbsp water (spring or filtered)
2 Tbsp organic gluten-free soy sauce/tamari sauce (because non-organic soy is usually always GMO, it is important to choose organic soy products) For a soy-free option, use more of the coconut amino instead of soy sauce.
1 tsp organic cornstarch (since the majority of commercial cornstarch is made with GMO corn, it is important to buy organic cornstarch)
a pinch of black pepper
No salt is necessary in this recipe!
INSTRUCTIONS
Put a medium size pot over high heat, with the rice and 3 times as much water (always use spring or filtered water to reduce chemicals). Bring to a boil, and then keep cooking, boiling, for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked. Drain and put aside in a warm area.
While the rice cooks, put a large pan over medium heat, with 1-2 Tbsp sesame oil. While it's warming up, mince the onion (cut into small pieces). Put in the pan and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring often.
While this cooks, slice the carrots and the celery, and add to the pan with the onion. Continue cooking and stirring often.
While this cooks, cut cabbage into very thin slices, and add to the pan. Then slice the mushrooms and add to the pan, stirring often. (you might need to add some sesame oil if the pan is too dry)
Finally, cut the sweet pepper in thin slices, and the broccoli into bite-size florets, as well as cutting the broccoli "trunk" into thin slices (peel it first). Add all this to the pan and cover with a lid for 4-5 minutes (stirring a couple of times during that time).
Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl. Pour over the veggies, mix and cook 2-3 more minutes.
Serve over the rice, and enjoy!
