Harvest Stew
By Jen S. from David D. Jones Elementary School, Greensboro, North Carolina.
Description
Our Harvest Stew is a perfect blend of veggies, white beans and chicken which makes a delicious main course that is both tasty and healthy. This hearty fare satisfies the palate of students, teachers and staff while being a filling, nutritious meal to fuel them for the rest of their day. We love that can use our North Carolina sweet potatoes in this stew from our NC Farm to School program when they are seasonal and available.*
