20 Family Favorite Crock Pot Recipes - Simplify your Fall/Winter Menu Planning. #crockpotrecipes #slowcookerrecipes @mferrell

 Inside: Favorite Crock Pot Recipes from my Readers. Just in time for Fall/Winter cooking.

Reader Favorite Crock Pot Recipes @mferrell

One of my favorite parts of fall is that I seem to remember that I have a crock-pot. I’m not sure why I don’t utilize it too often in summer, but I do love those fall and winter days when we’ve been gone for the day, and dinner is awaiting us in the crock pot when we arrive home.

I asked the ladies in the Thankful Homemaker Facebook group to share some of their favorite crock-pot recipes from around the web. Below are the ones they shared and some of my favorites in the mix too. Big shout out to my ladies in the group – thank you xo!

I love recommendations, and these have been tested and tried to be most excellent.

Because I’m too lazy to email a bunch of bloggers to get permission to use their images, you’re just getting the links, but they are in one handy post for you to refer back to.

If you’re looking for an easy way to save and find recipes online, I highly recommend the Paprika App. It has become my go-to for all my recipes. No more saving them on Pinterest or printing them out. I love that they’re easy to access and categorize. I even have a crock-pot category so I can skim through all our family favorites. Check it out if you need a better, more organized way to store recipes.

You can follow my Slow Cooker Pinterest Board here (and then you can see the images), and I’ve added all the recipes below to it.

My Favorite Slow Cooker Cookbooks:

5 Ingredients of Less Slow Cooker Cookbook by Stephanie O’Dea

Make it Fast, Cook it Slow: The Big Book of Everyday Slow Cooking by Stephanie O’Dea

365 Slow Cooker Suppers by Stephanie O’Dea

As you can see I’m a bit biased towards Stephanie O’Dea’s cookbooks for the slow cooker. They’re all healthy ingredients and simple and good. My three favorite picks when looking for a recipe. Check out her blog here for some free recipes online.

My Favorite Slow Cookers:

Crock-Pot 6 Quart Programmable – I love being able to set a timer and the sealable lid makes transport much neater.

Crock-Pot 6 Quart Cook & Carry – This is my everyday one. I appreciate being able to change the temp quickly but still like the sealable lid for portability.

What do you think of when you hear the word discer What do you think of when you hear the word discernment? The dictionary defines it as making a distinction between good and evil and truth and falsehood. As believers, we all desire to be discerning and wise in our choices. As we mature and grow in our knowledge of the scriptures, the hope is we will use that information to make choices in line with God's will.⁣
⁣
We become discerning people by not just knowing what to think but how to think. Being spiritually discerning is an ability to see the world the way God does. This comes about as we grow and mature spiritually into the likeness of Christ. It is about seeing “All That's Good.”⁣

“Waiting exposes our idols and throws a wrench i “Waiting exposes our idols and throws a wrench into our coping mechanisms. It brings us to the end of what we can control and forces us to cry out to God. God doesn’t waste our waiting. He uses it to conform us to the image of his Son.”⁣

As I’m sharing this episode, I’m finding mysel As I’m sharing this episode, I’m finding myself in a waiting room on the Lord, and it’s been a long one, and I don’t see an end near.  It has reminded me that when I gave myself to Him, I gave up my “right” to be in charge. The reality is we never were in charge anyway; we just came to that understanding when the Lord opened our eyes to His sovereign control over our lives.⁣
⁣
Even though it is a truth I know or we know, how many times do we want to think that somehow we can effect change in our life situations?⁣
⁣
Waiting is hard because there is no guarantee that my waiting will end in this lifetime. One thing I have learned – my waiting has deepened my trust in the Lord and has helped me to develop patience, perseverance, and endurance.⁣
⁣
It’s also given me different eyes to see with compassion others who are in a season of waiting.⁣

Six questions I have written in my Bible that have Six questions I have written in my Bible that have been a help to me over the years may be a help to you, too, to be prayerful and slow to speak. These are helpful questions not just in our friendships but in our marriages and with our children, and truly any of our relationships:⁣
⁣
1. Is this the time to say this?⁣
2. Am I the person to say this?⁣
3. Is it necessary?⁣
4. Is it true?⁣
5. Is it kind?⁣
6. Do I need to say this?⁣

Listen in to EP 140: Threats to Biblical Friendship at the link in my profile @thankfulhomemaker (click on the link under the blue arrows and then this image)
We all know that fostering true biblical friendshi We all know that fostering true biblical friendship isn’t easy – it takes work. Jesus told us in John 16:33 that we’re going to have trouble in this world, and trouble does touch all our lives in various areas, but this includes our friendships too.⁣
⁣
We’ll be hurt; we’ll be the ones hurting others; selfishness is a battle; jealousy and envy raise their ugly heads; we have our fears and insecurities, failed expectations, the damage our tongues do to one another, not appropriating the gospel and these all come from hearts that are still battling sin. ⁣
⁣
So when these threats to our friendship with one another in Christ come up, it shouldn’t surprise us that we have these issues, but what we need to keep at the forefront of our minds is how we respond and deal with them when they do come up. ⁣
⁣
I want to walk us through some of these threats, and this list I’m working with isn’t exhaustive – there are many more threats than what I am addressing today – but these are areas that stood out to me that have been a battle within some of my friendships over the years. Sadly, it is often the sin I’m battling in my heart, and I need to get my thinking, attitudes, and actions lined up with God’s Word.⁣
