Family life is busy! Between work, school, extra-curricular activities, homework (the list goes on)…
Putting a meal on the table night after night that’s healthy, liked by all, easy, quick and budget friendly isn’t easy.
So, if you’re struggling with the Monday to Friday grind and feeling like your family meal times could do with some attention, HelloFresh is here to offer you a few quick tips for making dinners a happy household time for everyone.
– Get the kids involved
Getting kids in the kitchen can encourage an interest in food and teach them important life skills.
Plus, they are more likely to eat the meal and try new things! There are plenty of ways you can involve kids of all ages in preparing family dinner.
The younger ones can help set the dinner table, toss a salad, wash fresh produce, measure and stir ingredients and the older ones can help put recipes together and cook – hey, you might even be able to convince them to cook family dinner on a regular basis!
– Get rid of distractions
Family dinner time should be a time to reflect on the day, relax, share stories and interact with one another. All things that are unlikely to happen with the distractions of the television, mobile phones and social media within arms reach.
So set out a few dinner time rules to make sure family meals are conducive to interacting with the people around the table.
HelloFresh offers kid-friendly family recipes that have been created with busy parents in mind.
They’ve taken the hassle out of meal-planning, prep and cooking, so that you spend less time in the kitchen and more time with the family.
