The Three Sisters {Corn, Beans, Squash}

Corn, beans and squash are known as The Three Sisters and have been thriving and growing together since the 1300's! The corn is planted in the middle and acts as support for the beans, beans add nitrogen to the soil and further structure, and the squash leaves cool the soil and hinder weeds. They just go hand-in-hand!

This week we are making dishes featuring one of The Three Sisters! These ingredients are everywhere in the markets right now.

Make and post your THREE SISTERS recipe by Sunday, August 6th. Please link a picture of your recipe below, and leave a comment after.

*****PLEASE REMEMBER that we are continuing to cook the recipes of our 24 IHCC FEATURED CHEFS. Make sure that any recipes you post on our link-ups are from and credited to one of those 23 chefs.

The Three Sisters!

The Cherokee trio of corn, beans, and squash, otherwise known as THE THREE SISTERS, have long been grown together for a more robust harvest and superior flavor. But that doesn’t mean you’ll see them all on one plate. This week you can choose just one to cook with, or all three, if you're feeling adventurous!

Make any dish inspired by THE THREE SISTERS and our 21 featured chefs and post by Sunday, August 22nd.

*****PLEASE REMEMBER that we are continuing to cook the recipes of our 21 IHCC FEATURED CHEFS. Make sure that any recipes you post on our link-ups are from and credited to one of those 21 chefs.

Note: The themes for August are up, but we are having trouble with the spacing, etc. We will be trying to fix it soon. In the meantime, the themes are as follows.

You Choose the Recipes!

In the interest of freedom of choice and to maximize the fun, we have organized this cooking club on themes. How you interpret the theme is up to you. If you feel that you would like nothing better than a three-pound bison burger, with all the fixin's, on a spa day.. nobody will challenge you on it!

Once the theme is announced, feel free to peruse our current chef's recipes from cookbooks or online, to find one that you think suits the theme and your tastes. Have fun with the recipe, change what you like, and link into that week's post.

Have some great ideas for themes? We love to hear your ideas! Feel free to email any of the hosts or leave your ideas in the comments section.
