September 21 - 27 is National Eat Together Week





National Eat Together Week is fast approaching. Isn't it time you take control of your family dinners and begin eating together around the dinner table? I enjoy helping families reclaim their dinner time through fast, easy, and delicious meal planning solutions. Let me help you!

Did you know that one of the best ways to get our kids excited about dinner is by having them help prepare the meal?

Here are some important tips from A Trovola Together, to remember when cooking with your kids.

1. Invite your children to choose the recipe or help plan the meal. It gives them a sense of independence and allows them to make good choices.

2. Explain safety rules for the stove, appliances, and sharp utensils. Teaching children the "rules of the kitchen" at an early age helps instill the life skills they will need in the future.

3. Read the recipes and plan cooking steps together. You can practice those reading and problem resolutions skills!

4. Wash your hands before starting to cook or eating. It is so important to teach our children good hygiene. Explain to them why it's important.

Once your meal is prepared, you and your family will be able to enjoy great conversation over a delicious homemade meal!
