We all have to eat to survive--it’s part of life. Often, the task of feeding an entire family every single day is overwhelming. The sheer recurring quantity of the task can be daunting to the most ambitious of us, and yet, the task remains. How can we as parents create a dinner table that is both fulfilling for our families and doesn’t drain the life out of us as parents?

There is so much fascinating research out there about how eating family dinner together helps predict positive outcomes in children’s lives. We all know it’s something to strive for, yet we are often met with roadblocks to accomplishing such a task. Fortunately, in this episode, dinner expert and author Claire Tansey walks us through each roadblock to successful family dinners and gives amazing tips and strategies for overcoming them.

She shares incredibly practical advice about how to meal plan in a way that actually works for you, and gives lots of helpful information about how to make dinner preparation and the eating of food satisfying and enjoyable for everyone involved.
