10 of my Favourites Slow-Cooker Recipes

I love my slow-cooker, otherwise known as crockpot. It makes cooking so easy and is handy for a lot of different situations. It really saves the day when I have to be out of the house the whole day, or need to bring something to church and need a large quantity.

I have a lot of recipes that I really love and that regularly make it on our menu, so I decided to share ten of those with you all: Chili: Any Chili recipe can be made in the crockpot. So, go ahead and try that Chili recipe of your in there. If you do not have any at all, you can try this Chili Recipe. I just add cocoa powder and sugar to mine and use black bean instead of pinto optionally. Chicken and Potatoes: a whole meal in the crockpot. Chicken Tortilla Soup: great with guacamole, sour cream and cheese
Taco Soup: also eaten with avocado, sour cream and cheese. Ground beef sauteed with garlic, onion and green pepper (optional). 1 can of black beans, 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1/2 cup salsa, 1-2 cup of beef broth, paprika, cumin, and taco or Tex Mex seasoning (about 2 Tbps). Cook for 4 -6 hours on low. Towards the end of the cooking add a small drained can of corn. Lasagna Soup: easy version Potato Soup: wonderful with some French or Italian bread.
Crockpot Ravioli Casserole or some version thereof of pasta and ground beef.
Chicken and Wild Rice Soup An easy week day meal and delicious. All Day Red Bean Soup perfect for that left over ham bone. Cajun Chicken: This is my go to recipe. Chicken thighs and/or drumsticks, seasoned with salt, pepper and cajun seasoning (generously). Add to crockpot with one diced onion and 2-3 crushed garlic. Pour 2-3 Tbsp of Balsamic vinegar on top, and let it cook on low for 6-8 hours, or high for 4-6 hours.
This works well with a whole chicken as well, or in the oven.
Italian Wedding Soup: Works also with pork or chicken meatballs.
These are just starters. I often adjust recipes with what I have on hand. The crockpot is a great useful machine. So take it out and be creative!

Reformation Day Giveaway

We are approaching October 31, which is an important date for all protestants. This date commemorates Martin Luther’s nailing of his ninety-five theses to a church door on October 31, 1517 in Wittenburg, Germany, which in turn provoked a debate that resulted in what we now call the Protestant Reformation. As the “Father of the Reformation”, Martin Luther is a vital figure in Church History. His sacrifice and willingness to wage battle against the spiritual, religious, and political powers of his medieval world allowed Christians throughout time to embrace the following truths: salvation by grace alone , through faith alone, and in Christ alone, along with the supremacy of Scripture, referred to as Scripture alone, and all of it for God's Glory Alone. These being commonly called the Five Solas of the Reformation. Danika Cooley, author and creator of the Bible curriculum Bible Road Trip , has recently written a book for young people recounting Luther's sto...
