A couple of months ago my mom was insistent on me meeting her all the way across town to try this little Mexican place nearby her house that she had recently discovered.

Hello, gorgeous... mmm... melted irish cheddar...
Read MoreThis is one of my very favorite crock pot recipes. It's an easy, versatile, and super de{light}ful recipe that is sure to appease the masses. Originally it's made with a red salsa and quite a lot of red spices.
