Sometimes the urge to stop by the drive-through on the way home so that you can just have something that is “quick and easy” is very compelling! Sometimes all you need to fight this urge are ideas and tips for meals that are just as quick and a whole lot better for you and your family. Here is the place to find out what makes meals quick and easy at my house and to share what does at yours!

I like to keep pre-bagged salad, prepared salad dressing, and pre-cooked chicken or beef in my refrigerator at all times! This allows me to add some cheese and other vegetables from my garden and “toss” together a delicious and healthy meal any night of the week. Leftovers? Take them to work for a delicious lunch! What do you pull together for a quick and easy meal at home? Tami

Families often bond together over mealtime and kitchen traditions. This is a place to share yours and inspire others! Maybe you have a family cookie day where everyone comes together to compete for the best holiday cookie honors. Maybe you have a family cook off every year that serves as the center piece of the annual family reunion. Or more simply … maybe you have a traditional meal served every year that is not to be missed. This is the place to tell us about those traditions.

One of our favorite family traditions, passed down from generation to generation, is that of sharing the “comfort and joy” of breaking bread with friends and family. This has been carried out through our family tradition of giving food as gifts, year after year. The joy of family time together making the goodies that we then give as gifts to those we love and care for is a part of the tradition! This is a space where we can share our treasured family traditions and learn new ones from each other. So, what are some of YOUR favorite family traditions? … I’d love to hear about them! Tami
