Slow-cooker Breakfast

Homestead

As you may have read in previous posts, you know I LOVE slow cooking. I’m always searching for some new out-of-the-ordinary meal to try in my slow cooker. Recently, I ran across two great-looking breakfast recipes!

We just had this Breakfast Cobbler yesterday, and it was delicious, and healthy! I adjusted the original recipe for my family of 6, and we had leftovers. Here’s what I did:

  • 6 apples, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 3 tbsp. butter, melted
  • 3-4 cups granola cereal
  • 1/2 cup oats

Place apples in slow cooker and mix in remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours (overnight) or high 2-3 hours.

I used a mixture of Gala and Granny Smith apples for fun. I also used a granola cereal with raisins in it. Some members of my family suggested we could go without the raisins next time. : )

Breakfast Rice is the other new one I found, and we haven’t tried it yet. I’ll be using it this next week. We’ve always liked rice for breakfast with sugar, butter, and milk, so I was excited to find a healthier version:

  • 1 cup long grain brown rice
  • 1 cup unsweetened apple juice
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Combine all the ingredients in slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours. Sweeten as desired.

I can’t stress how nice it is to wake up to a busy morning schedule and know that breakfast is ready! I even go to bed happy when I make a slow cooker breakfast!

There's more than one way to get an education! Today I'm sharing a roundup of some out-of-the-ordinary homeschooling styles: Instead of thinking it’s “not for us,” Christian parents should be thinking “a secular education is not for us.” Geography and history go hand in hand. I never separate the two. And Mystery of History already has map work integrated into every lesson. I get a lot of pushback for saying that public education is not appropriate for Christians. “Homeschooling isn’t even in the Bible,” I’m told. No, the words are not there, but the principle definitely is. "Don’t let the world raise your children. Be intentional and fill their hearts and minds with the Word of God." -Nancy Leigh DeMoss I live in a very rural county in Texas. You know, the red-state Bible belt? And I get firsthand accounts from the parents and kids in my town, my church, and my neighborhood that would shock you. Smartphone videos that children pass around on the school bus. Foul language in kindergarten. Sexual escapades that happen at school and are discussed with all ages. Trans kids of every age. Bullying that scars children for life. And in case you hadn’t heard, the war on drugs was lost. Kids are still using them, selling them, and becoming addicted to them. I’m just gonna say it: sending kids off to school for the majority of their childhood is not normal, or biblical. Mamas feel that separation pain because we were created to raise, nurture, and mentor our own children. That task is not designed for strangers or government agents. I recently saw a new homeschool mom post in a forum that she had found a stack of books at the dollar store about Ben Franklin, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln. She was excited because these would meet the "good citizenship" requirement for homeschooling in Texas. The overturning of Roe v. Wade at the Supreme Court level has brought up many interesting conversations. And let me tell you, if you have kids who are old enough to understand it, they are old enough to be confronted by the discourse happening in our culture. Sadly, even Christian adults are easily swayed by their emotions, as well as some of the worst meme theology on the internet.
