Sundays are traditionally a big dinner day. We go to church from 9-12 and eat between 1:30 and 2p.m. It's Always a meal of Roast (Beef or Pork), mashed potatoes and gravy, creamed corn, homemade biscuits or rolls and varieties of vegetables like steamed broccoli with cheese sauce, carrots, green salads, etc.
Over the years I've often thought of changing things up to make preparations easier. Like the Sunday I served a Costco Lasagna. Who doesn't like Costco Lasagna? My kids on Sunday. That's who! Our oldest son was not only disgusted as he was taking a bite, but remarked, "This isn't homemade. Is it?!" *sigh*
To be honest, the preparations for the Sunday dinner just get easier as time goes on. Changing things actually works against us. Not only that, but the family ALL look forward to the traditional spread and are disappointed when any regular item is missing. That's why it is now called, "regular".
Who would want to change a scene like this in the kitchen anyway? There is no greater blessing, in my perspective as a parent, then to see your children working happily together. Because the truth is,
When we're helping, we're happy!
