"The slow insidious displacement of home cooked and communally shared family meals by the industrial food system has fattened our nation and weakened our family ties. In 1900, 2 percent of meals were eaten outside the home. In 2010, 50 percent were eaten away from home and one in five breakfasts is from McDonald's. Most family meals happen about three times a week, last less than 20 minutes and are spent watching television or texting while each family member eats a different microwaved "food." More meals are eaten in the minivan than the kitchen."

This is why I have such a passion for the family supper!!!! I know modern life is crazy and busy and that cooking skills are often limited. It is for these reasons that I created my Simple Family Supper menu plan kits. EASY meals, complete organization.... ENJOY and build your family life. I want you to experience GREAT family time without stress.
Have a BLESSED day,
BE a BLESSING!

We almost always have a family meal at home. 2 nights a week my daughter is at gymnastics but the rest of us sit down together. It is very important to me. TV is not allowed on unless it is a super special show (i.e. super bowl).
ReplyDeleteWow, that is so interesting! I love home-cooked meals. And being away at college I have learned that they are so much more enjoyable than just eating out!
