In the kitchen, your family can connect and share the day over a meal. Here are simple ways:
SERVE WHOLESOME MEALS YOUR FAMILY LOVES. Every family has tried-and-true favorites, but it's fun to try new recipes when time allows. A great reason for cooking at home is to include fruits, vegetables and whole grains-ingredients that are often missing in takeout and restaurant meals.
GET THE CREW INVOLVED. From preparation to cleanup, it's all hands on deck! Whether mixing or sprinkling, setting the table or cleaning up, including the family in meal preparation is a great way for all to feel they've helped make a part of their meal.
SHARE YOUR DAY. Take turns sharing the best, most memorable or most important part of the day. Take time to smell the dinner, give thanks and reflect on special moments.
TURN ON THE CONVERSATION. Mealtime is one of the rare times families can catch up with each other, so make every moment count by talking and listening.
TURN OFF THE TV AND TURN ON THE ANSWERING MACHINE. Don't let interruptions from the telephone, television or doorbell spoil the fun. Give everyone a break from answering the phone by letting the machine do its work.
BE FLEXIBLE ABOUT WHERE YOU EAT. Given family schedules, sitting down at the table may not always be possible. Consider packing a picnic to eat together before sports practice, or plan a meal to eat in the car on the way to music lessons.
