5 ways to Make Family Mealtime Meaningful
5 tips for Making Family Mealtime Meaningful
Let the kids help by picking the meal or helping with prep. Little M loves to make pancakes. Big M loves to make eggs. (Breakfast for dinner happens a lot around here). We call them over for just the parts they love to help with. It’s a fun way for to start using tools and equipment in the kitchen. Learning how to use our GE Appliances oven has made them feel oh so big. (I just got a look at the new GE Appliances gas Double Range Oven … wow!!! It has Tri Ring Burners that make it easier to control the heat. Better pancake cooking for Little M?)
Extend prep time so you feel less rushed to have dinner on the table “on time”. I am far more patient when I am not pressed by the clock. The extra time cushion makes it easier to let the kids help grate the cheese or cut the veggies. It also makes it easier to give attention to the “Mom, come see this.” that always seems to happen as soon as the water is boiling.
Be flexible with what must happen in the kitchen. At our house the meals are dished up at the stove or counter and brought over to the table. I like it that way, so that’s how we do it. Little M, on the other hand, loves setting a table. She loves serving dishes and place settings. On the days she wants to set the table, I enjoy the time we have together (and forget about my way of doing it).
Talk, talk and them talk some more. Dinner table conversations are a great way to get kids to open up. Use this as an opportunity to talk about the day’s events, what’s on everybody’s minds and even some very serious conversations. When it’s regular practice to talk about the small stuff… the big stuff will come out easier!
Clean up as a team and extend the together time. Give everyone a job (even the little ones can help load the dishwasher). The extra hands and giggles take a chore and make it fun. Of course with 102 Spray Jets and no need to prerinse GE Appliances Dishwasher makes cleaning up dinner even quicker. 
GE Appliances asked and then LISTENED. Their new line of appliances is designed with both beauty and functionality in mind. They took the advice of busy moms and dads (just like us) and designed appliances that make it easy to connect, play and ENJOY each other in the kitchen. Check out the features of the Double Range Oven, French Door Refrigerator and Dishwasher. GE Appliances is also offering rebates and promotions (GE Artistry begins 5/15/2014 – 5/28/2014).

All of my children LOVE to help in the kitchen. My mothers was never a big cook, most of my meals as a kid were from the microwave.

To make weeknights special I always let my older 2 pick at least one dinner each week… when our youngest (who is 15 months) is older, she will be allowed to pick also! Plus, I always try to make meals that my kids can add toppings to so that they feel like they are choosing their own food.. things like tacos, or tomato soup with different toppings, ect. !!

Weeknight meals are always difficult with both parents working and sports and other activities and homework but I think, depending on the number of children you have, give each child “their day” to elaborate about what happened in their day it would help them shine or get over difficulties.
I would allow each of my kids to say something that happened that day in a “few” words. Then the “star of the day” got to elaborate / share with everyone. You got to hear in short burst what happened to everyone so if you needed to you could talk to each child separately, but each day one of your kids got the “help” of airing what bothered them that day or “shine” on about things that happened too.

Weeknights are special because we all cook and eat together, and then clean up together!
Breakfast for dinner is my go to weeknight meal.
I’d love to have the GE Appliances Gas Double Range Oven and the dishwasher to make cooking and cleaning up that much better.
Thanks for the contest.

We like to share what happened to each of us during the day over dinner each night.
I make a lot of freezer meals that have been requested by the family. As the week starts, each family member gets to choose a freezer meal of their choice for their given night. They also get to choose a dessert of their choice during the same meal. It makes it special for each person on their night.

With simple, classic, and fun recipes.
it’s special if we can cook and eat together.
I work most weekdays so during the week nights and weekends is when I get to spend time with my family and we do so many things, play together, laugh together, walk together, ride bikes together.. Whatever we feel like together.
