Most of us are so busy, that we grab food on the run, from fast food places rather than take time for healthy meals. Children are so busy with the afterschool activities, and homework that they have no time for healthy food. It can be very difficult when running a household, where everyone has to be in a different place at a different time, to provide good food.

We all want to be healthy, but often we just don’t make the time. By being so busy we feel wanted and needed, and that makes us feel good. But can you imagine how good you would feel, if the whole family got together, and cooked one healthy meal a week? If you start with one meal, and you enjoy it then you will find it easy to do it again and again.

Get the family together and have a meeting, and discuss how everyone feels about having one healthy cooked meal per week, where everyone comes together at the dining table. It’s not only about the food, it’s also about the time for communication, the chance to get together and be a family.

Make sure that you buy fresh vegetables and meat, and that you cook it from scratch. You can only make a really healthy meal when you know exactly what’s in it. Even the smallest children can help set the table and others can stack the dishwasher. Time is something we don’t have the luxury of buying more of and family time is extremely important.
