School is starting next week for my two kids that are at home. My oldest son left a few weeks ago to serve an LDS mission, so for two years we are a family of 4 now.
I must say, by this time each year, I can’t wait for back to school. Not because I don’t want my kids around, but I am ready for structure. It get pretty much thrown out the window during summer.

There is that adjustment period to get back to a regular school schedule. It also means finding meals for those crazy nights when you have a lot going on. Like when my daughter has dance and my son has swimming.
The recipe today for Easy Skillet BBQ Pork Chops, does take a little time to cook but prep time is a snap. I purchased thin pork chops to help cut down on the cooking time. I like to serve it with rice.
