Delicious and Healthy Recipes from the "Food is Elementary" curriculum


This is one of the recipes from the Food is Elementary curriculum that Local Matters is facilitating in local schools. I made the "Three Sisters Casserole" for my family, along with the suggested menu and my son said, "Mom, why are we having a special dinner?" and "Can we have this again next week?" It was simple, delicious, affordable and a hit with everyone. See more recipes by clicking on the title!

2 cups kidney beans
2 cups corn
1 cup pre-cooked butternut squash
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 T. dill

Combine all of the above ingredients in a saucepan. Heat for at least five minutes until thoroughly warm.

Suggested Menu
Three sister's casserole, cornbread, baked yams, walnuts baked with maple syrup, blueberries and blackberries.
