As
we get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving and look around for special,
healthy recipes to share with family and friends, HSC is happy to
highlight one of the many incredible recipes from last week’s Cooking up
Change healthy cooking contest.
This
recipe for Creole Vegetable Hash, a side dish created by the culinary
team of Dunbar Career Academy, helped propel the team to second place in
the coveted school lunch category.
On
the morning of the contest, team member Ciara Dixon visited the studios
of WCIU’s You & Me This Morning to prepare the great-tasting dish
on-air with host Jeanne Sparrow! Check out Ciara’s great cooking demo,
then check out the full recipe below!
