Top 4 Mexican-inspired Recipes
In the mood for some Mexican-inspired dishes? Try these wonderful slow cooker favorites!

By now, many of us have a bad case of cabin fever. We’ve had our fill of the snow and ice. We daydream about kicking back with a glass of lemonade and sporting our flip flops while browsing through the fresh produce at our local farmer’s market.
We can’t do anything about the weather, but we can give you this 6 qt. Slow Cooker and a copy of the Fix It and Forget It Big Cookbook to help you make it through the rest of winter. The Jarden 6 qt. stainless steel programmable slow cooker features High and Low settings, and automatically switches to Keep Warm when the cooking time has elapsed. So dinner is ready when you are. The removable black ceramic insert provides gentle uniform heat to create richly flavored soups, stews, casseroles, and braised meats. Both the insert and the tempered glass lid are dishwasher-safe.
(Jarden doesn’t know that we’re giving away this slow cooker.)
