Food needs to cook at this temperature or higher to prevent the growth of bacteria. Do not put frozen foods into a crockpot.

Several years ago, I moved to Brooklyn, New York, just outside a Spanish neighborhood. It was here that I was introduced to chayote.

For the uninitiated, chayote (chai-YOH-tee) is a light green squash shaped like a pear originating from central Mexico. Although it's considered a fruit, chayote is a member of the Cucurbitaceous (gourd) family...

Either way, the crunchy goodness is now stale, and you grab the box and walk to the trash can. Stop!
Confession: I love bagels. I love to make them, but above all, I love to eat them.
