Three Sisters Stew
In Native American mythology, squash, corn, and beans are known as the “three sisters.” This hearty harvest stew is perfect for fall. It combines warming spices like cinnamon and chili powder with pinto beans, seasonal butternut squash, and corn for a satisfying, fiber rich dinner. Leftovers heat up nicely for an easy hot lunch.
