We are all very busy. We fill our lives with many obligations and pleasures. This is a good thing. We want our lives to be full and rich with experiences. Part of the pleasure is sharing the details and stories with the people we love. The experience is so much more gratifying when we recount it to someone that listens intently and cares. Sometimes the retelling of the event is even more satisfying then the actual event.
This is what dinnertime was made for. Dinnertime is an opportunity to share a nutritious delicious meal and talk about your day, the good the bad, the wins the challenges. It’s a time to stop the busyness of our lives in order to give and receive physical and emotional nourishment. I love coming home to my husband to recount all that I did during the day. It’s fun just to talk and often enlightening to receive his perspective.
The Let’s Cook Tonight™ Movement is all about cooking a meal together and sharing it with your family in an atmosphere of love. When you make the food from scratch and serve it on china plates, everyone knows this is different. This is a meal and you have to stop and eat, to listen and share, not grab and go. If you make it a point to do this consistently a few times every week your family will come to look forward to it and count on it. This time together gives meaning to all of our activities and is the reason we work so hard.
Cooking is easier than you think and you and your family are worth the time and effort it takes.
Simple cooking idea: Always cook chicken attached to its bone. The flavor the bone adds is incomparable.
