It's time for the comfort foods of fall and winter.

Little to no effort is required to make a great cozy dish, made possible by tossing ingredients in this 1 1/2 quart round Proctor Silex slow cooker. The crock is removable for easy clean up, too. More time to spend playing cat and mouse games!

To inspire your culinary adventures, we've included two Bear Creek soup mixes, Minestrone and Creamy Potato, plus the Fix It and Forget It Vegetarian Cookbook by Phyllis Pellman Good.
