When both parents work outside of the home cooking the evening meal becomes another task to fit into an already busy schedule. Many families are eating on the run or in route to the evening activities for their children. Traditional family meals together are rapidly becoming a thing of the past. This family ritual has been an important bonding time for the family over several generations. It not only teaches your children the proper social etiquette when dining but also encourages healthy eating habits. Studies are also reporting that the children who eat a family meal together are not only engaging in a healthier lifestyle but their grades are better and they also display higher self-esteem.
Creative time management
If planning meals is a time consuming task for your family you may want to try Super Suppers or Make & Take Meals for an option. They both offer different menus each month. You call ahead to schedule your appointment to go in and make your meals. You can usually prepare 12 meals in a couple of hours. Take a helper with you and make it an activity to do with your children or significant other. It can help you save time, stay in your budget and eat nutritious meals. It sounds like a win/win for everyone.
