There is nothing like meat and potatoes to get my family to eat. Tonight's dinner consisted of baked pork chops, creamy mashed potatoes, country gravy, corn, and flakey, buttermilk biscuits all from scratch. My men love eating the biscuits two ways: dipped in gravy and drizzled with honey. Sunday dinners are important to us because it's usually one night where we all just honker down and spend the evening together.
I'm sure this is going on in almost every family around the country. Before I was married, I disliked Sunday evenings because I didn't want the weekend to end. There was usually homework to catch up on or getting ready for another work week. No one wanted to get together. I felt lonely.
I love Sunday evenings now because it means I get to spend it with my love and our two favorite people in the entire world, our boys.
