Meal time for me is a time for thought and preparation. Thought because present meals always make me reflect on past ones. I remember how small the kids were or what recipe worked really well. It isn't just about the food. It's about the experiences and memories that make up a large part of me.
Start your own traditions by gathering around the table several times a week and twice on Sundays. In my opinion children grow up remembering how well they were treated and/or valued. Mealtimes in my childhood home were full of just that.
