Dinner is an opportunity to reconnect with your family at the end of each day. Make this important ritual less stressful by giving everyone the chance to create an individualized meal. It’s easier than you may think!
- Make enough pasta for everyone – choose a fun shape like spirals, pinwheels, or shells. Not only is the pasta pleasing to look at, it’s already bite-size! Put a fist-size amount in a bowl for each family member.
- Steam fresh vegetables a cup or two at a time. Choose your family’s favorites and provide variety in color, texture, and taste such as, carrots, corn, and peppers. Put each veggie in its own serving bowl.
- Add the “plus” to dinner with a little protein power! Place a legume or two into individual serving bowls. You could choose soybeans, peas, lima beans, lentils, or chick peas.
- Let the kids choose their own veggies and legumes to create personalized recipes.
- The sauce is up to the chef. Do your kids prefer a red sauce, white sauce, or no sauce?
By providing good food choices, you are modeling a healthy attitude. By giving your children an opportunity to make their own food choices once in a while, you are empowering them to make their own decisions.
I definitely love all of the hard work you’ve put into keeping this place here for everyone. I really hope this is here for a really long time.
