This week’s dinner menu features Pork Chops with Milk Gravy, Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti, Greek Salad, Pizza Sliders, and lots more!
How’s holiday shopping going for you? I would love to tell you that I’m almost done except for a few little stocking stuffers, but that would a complete lie. The truth is, I’ve hardly even started and don’t know what to get anyone! The kids used to be easy, but I have come to realize since last Christmas that they actually play very little with toys. When they get something new, they play with it briefly, then throw it in the toy box never to be seen again. Their favorite activity is following me around and talking, talking, talking. (Ask me why I’m weary?)
It has been hard to get motivated to buy them toys when I see them not playing with all the toys they have on a daily basis! I’m trying to think of things that would have more replay value. Do you have good ideas for three- and eight-year-old boys? I would love to hear them! In return, I’ll give YOU seven dinner ideas for the coming week!
- Pork Chops with Easy Milk Gravy – This is an old recipe from the vault with new photos and content, so it’s practically new!
- Lemon Chicken Soup – Our whole family loves, loves this soup. It’s a definite favorite at our house!
- Pizza Sliders – You can’t beat these easy sandwiches when you need a really quick dinner.
- Sausage Fajita Breakfast Casserole – I know this says breakfast casserole, but it’s great for dinner too!
- Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti – Speaking of casseroles, don’t miss this super easy one!
- Classic Greek Salad – You aren’t tired of this one yet are you? It is a staple at our house. Healthy, easy, and really delicious!
- Salmon and Asparagus with Black Bean Sauce – If asparagus is a bit hard to come by this time of year, try Chinese long beans or plain ol’ green beans in this one!
Do you have holiday potlucks coming up? I’ve got you covered with ideas for what to bring in this roundup!

You can do what we used to do for our son. We would find some toys he hadn’t played with in a long time, wipe them up, and rewrap them. Yes, we really did.

That is GENIUS! I actually have a bag of toys that my youngest “lost” one day because he refused to help clean up. I considered looking in there for some gift ideas ;)
