Recipe: Italian
Bean Bruschetta
This recipe
from Bush Beans is a big hit with children. I tested it on a 3rd grade
class and they just kept coming back for more! (and I noticed the teacher
dished out a big helping for herself and set it aside for her lunch).
This recipe is also featured in the Beans: The Vegetable with More™
Lesson Plan.
