Dinner’s on the Table

Family Dinners

Solution: The yummy creation of three registered nutritional consultants and moms, Feed Me…I’m Hungry! by Irene Swedak, Sunita Mohan and Christine Sachse is a great guide for family eating. Proponents of the use of organic, seasonal and locally-grown foods, they’ve created an easy to use cookbook with handy recipe/meal reference at the beginning of the book that makes it a snap to plan wholesome family dinners.
Best For: the health-conscious parents (or those trying to become more health-conscious) who are looking for delicious, nutritious and energizing recipes that will feed the whole family, from infants starting solids to the ravenous teenager. ($24.99, for availability, click here.)

Solution: If, as they say, cooking is 90% organization and 10% inspiration, then the inventors of the Wovenfare online meal planning service are onto something. Meal planning ensures you will be serving healthy home-cooked options more often (and therefore fewer convenience foods and fast food deliveries). You can try their free weekly meal plans or sign up with the subscription-based meal planning service, provide details on your family’s food needs and receive customized healthy meal plans complete with shopping lists. Starting at $5 per weekly meal plan credit, we think it’s an investment worth making. And with their feedback and referral reward system and bulk pricing packages, there’s even more value on the table.
Best For: The planning-challenged who need an organizing system to get dinner on the table or those who are bored with their usual menus.

So check out these resources and let everyone in your family know that from now on [insert day of your choice] is family dinner night.

And you’re done like dinner.
