Family Dinner

Does the whole family eat the same dinner?

Every families’ situation is different, so do what works for you. But if everyone eating the same is not working or you’re often going out to eat, be creative to find healthy solutions. Tonight Matt and I split a Blueberry Banana shake plus I had a salad of Baby spinach with nitrate-free low-sodium turkey diced, green apples, pine nuts and light Raspberry Vinegar Dressing (store bought).

Matt had his turkey in quinoa we already had on hand with avocado. Our son usually eats whatever meat has been made, dipped in BBQ sauce, and a couple sides like broccoli, sweet potato fries, yogurt and/or watermelon. Three different meals yet everyone’s happy and it was cheaper, faster and healthier than eating out.

I say this not to be like “look at us” (because believe me, we occasionally splurge!) but instead to create awareness for what might be causing weight gain for you, your spouse or your kids. Evening time and dinner is where a lot of people and their kids get off track.
