Smothered Pork Chops

Another one of my family favorites is Smothered Pork Chops.  It’s not as difficult as it may sound.  We like to have it with another family favorite corn on the cob.  Enjoy!

Menu Monday

I love to cook, but lately haven’t been able to enjoy it as much with all the activities that keep me running around. I guess it has a lot to with having 5 children and having a busy life in general. So, I have taken to writing down my menus for the week along with a shopping list. My wonderful husband helps with the grocery shopping and cooks 2 nights of the week. So, of course those days I have to pick meals that are not as complicated and quick. So, this is what I have planned for the week.
