March is National Nutrition Month® and the theme this year is Food Connects Us!
Family meals are a great way to use food as a connector! Sharing meals together boosts nutrition, supports healthy habits and strengthens relationships.
Try one of these easy tips to make family meals happen more often in your home:
-Keep it simple: Attempting to make a meal with 20 ingredients is a recipe for disaster. Instead, build a small collection of go-to recipes to help you get in and out of the kitchen in under 30 minutes.
-Choose ingredients that multitask: Ingredients you can use for more than one meal can be a major time saver. Instead of making just three chicken breasts, consider making six. This way, you can use the extras in other dishes such as chicken salad or fajitas.
-Make it a habit: Make sure each family member knows that everyone is to be home for dinner at a particular time. When everyone expects to enjoy dinner at 5 p.m. on Sunday, they'll begin to look forward to this family time and will arrange their schedules around it.
-It's OK to ask for help: If you’re feeding the whole family, you already have helpers right at your fingertips. Ask others to set the table, pour drinks or help make a salad.
-Make it fun: Add some fun and excitement with food themes. Throw a blanket on your family room floor and enjoy a picnic. Let everyone choose a theme and you'll see that your choices are endless.
Which will you try first?!
