If your house is anything like mine, mealtime has been known to be a very unpleasant event. Does this sound at all familiar? Around the table sits picky eaters, little people having trouble sitting still, parents bribing and pleading with the children to eat the meal that was so painstakingly prepared. Not a fun time at all! As my children are getting a little older though, we’re definitely well on our way to mealtime being a more pleasurable family time. As a busy mom who doesn’t enjoy cooking, I often find it tedious to plan and prepare meals each evening. Honestly (besides cleaning the bathrooms, yuck!) it’s probably my least favorite household responsibility. The amount of preparation that goes into something that is going to be gone within 20 minutes is so discouraging to me.
