Sweet Potato Chicken Chili with Chef Stephanie Tyson
Fall means soup season! Winston-Salem culinary icon, cookbook author, and two-time James Beard Award semifinalist/nominee Stephanie Tyson demonstrates how to make her famous Sweet Potato Chicken Chili. This savory and healthy recipe is perfect for a cool evening, and Chef Tyson shares helpful tips and shortcuts to make preparing this flavorful dish simple and delicious.
Fall Gardening Tips for a Spectacular Spring
Master Gardener Kris Ryan, owner of Landscape Elements, explains why fall is one of the best times to prepare your garden for winter and plant trees, shrubs, bulbs, and other plants. Getting them in the ground now gives roots time to become established before the heat of summer and can help set the stage for a beautiful spring garden. Kris also shares a local resource for purchasing bulbs that supports a Beautify Winston-Salem project.
