"You know what we do every Sunday?"
It was the voice of a teenager from New York City
talking to one of her teenage peers.
"We have Sunday dinner ~~~
I just love it!"Today, everybody in the family works and there is very little time set aside when the family just sits down to enjoy doing things together.
The above conversation was a pleasant surprise especially with the marketing pressures that are put upon our society for instant food and enjoyment.
Maybe it is time again to rethink our priorities and bring that focus around a family Sunday dinner based upon food grown and processed around us.
The aroma of real food cooking in an oven or stovetop certainly is preferred to that of the pizza man showing up at your door or eating snack food in a car.It's now Fall ( BBQ Steak, Salmon, BBQ Beef Ribs, Roasted Potatoes, Deep Fried Chicken ) and a great time to invite friends and family over for Sunday dinner .
You know the kind where you invite your friends and family to get together and chat, the kids are in the backyard or playroom, someone brings the drinks, you bring out the appetizers, sit back to solve the local and world problems.It could be pot luck, bring a bottle of wine, some cold beer and everyone brings a little of this and a little of that with the host supplying the friendly ambiance of course.
If you don't want to cook, think about ordering takeout Chinese Food.
Don't know what to order? - Click Here for a few tips!Here are some of our suggestions for bringing to the dinner.... Lobster, Baked Ham, Shrimp Cocktail, Homemade Ice Cream, Apple Pie, Cole Slaw, Curried Chickpeas, Strawberries, Baked Beans ..
And if you are cooking vegetables and want to make them as tasty and full of nutrients as possible - buy them in season from your local Farmers' Market and then steam them.
For B.B.Q. season! Here is a simple and very efficient way to prevent the food from sticking to the grill:
Purchase a spray bottle (at the dollar store) and fill up with olive oil or canola oil to spray on the grill once it is hot. Remember that olive and canola oils are non saturated fats and are a very healthy choice. Happy grilling!Send this page to participants so they can make
