• We are invested in connecting you with the solutions that work best for you and your family.

We’re helping your family eat well and be well together.

• We offer an ever-expanding toolbox of simple, time-efficient, healthy, and tasty recipes that take the stress out of planning and preparing family meals, utilizing pre-prepped fresh ingredients, frozen, and canned foods for ease of preparation. Our resources will also point you to delicious ready-made entrees, wholesome heat and eat dishes, and other quick and easy options.

Researchers and health experts endorse and promote the lifelong benefits of family meals.

• Numerous studies show that home-cooked meals nourish the spirit, brain, and health of all family members.
• Family meals have been shown to have a positive impact on the nutrition status, health, and well-being of the entire family.
• Regular family meals are linked to the kinds of outcomes that we want for our children: higher grades and self-esteem, healthier eating habits and less risky behavior.

September, back-to-school season, is the perfect time to commit to sharing one more family meal at home per week.

• With the start of a new school year, renew your commitment to creating and serving meals at home that nourish your kids’ bodies, brains, and help them flourish for life. And it’s the perfect time to learn how things are going for your kids at school at the outset of the new school year.
• As you juggle new school routines and fall activities, we invite you to rely on our organization for support. When it comes to making more shared mealtimes happen for your busy family, let us be your ally.
