GREEK PORK CHOPS MEALS IN Monica's MINUTES By Monica Sinclair It's been awhile since I have in- cluded a recipe for pork chops. This week, a delicious one dropped into my email and I knew I had to share it. This week has been per- fect weather for grilling, so while it is still nice, you will want to throw these on that grill and make all of your neighbors jealous with the aromas wafting from your yard. Enjoy! INGREDIENTS • 2 tablespoons olive oil • 4 teaspoons lemon juice • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce • 2 teaspoons dried oregano • 1 teaspoon salt • 1 teaspoon onion powder • 1 teaspoon garlic powder • 1 teaspoon pepper • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard • 4 boneless pork loin chops (3/4 inch thick and 4 ounces each) DIRECTIONS 1. In a large bowl, mix first nine ingredients. Add pork chops and turn to coat. Cover; refrigerate eight hours or overnight. 2. Drain pork, discarding marinade. 3. Grill chops, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat until a thermometer reads 145°, 4-5 minutes per side. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

" "Why are things so different at school? " "When can I see Grandma? " "How will I make new friends? " "What happens af- ter we die? " Change happens in every life. Wheth- er it's a change we can anticipate—like entering middle school or starting a job we've been hired for, or a change we didn't see coming—like a death in the family or COVID-19, change is always a challenge. As adults, we have learned how to rationalize and process those ma- jor life-changing events. But children have a less-developed mindset, and they need help navigating change. You may have heard the saying, "You can't control the winds, but you can adjust the sails." As more experienced sailors in the sea changes of life, parents and other adults can offer instruction, attention and care to our kids as they cope with change. Here are some specific coping strategies: • Talk with your child and acknowl- edge that it is normal for them to be ex- periencing a variety of emotions regard- ing the recent changes. Car rides, meal times, and bedtime are often good mo- ments to initiate conversation. • Allow them to participate in some small decision-making within the family. This allows them to feel they have some control over things in their life. You may even encourage them to choose new rit- uals or traditions for your family to prac- tice together. • Be consistent in new daily routines. (If you don't have a daily routine, create one!) Structure throughout their day al- lows a child to feel more secure and safe. Even just a few set elements of routine can create calm and trust. • Stay positive regarding the recent changes. Even though change is some- times initiated by negative circumstanc- es, it is important to try to focus on the positive aspects. In the morning over breakfast and at night before bed, help your child think of three positive things they are grateful for. • Be patient with them. Allow them the time they need to adjust to the chang- es. There are a lot of benefits that can come with navigating change. It is just a matter of finding an appropriate way of coping with the stressors that accompa- ny the transition. Being a loving, atten- tive source of support for your child is the best thing you can do to help them successfully "adjust the sails"—and you may even find that it strengthens your family as a whole.
