Benefits to eating at home and sharing family meals are that you can control what goes into your food, serve moderate amounts of food, reduce the cost of meals and include more fruits, vegetables and whole grains into your dishes. Eating meals together as a family also helps us strengthen our relationships by talking about things that are important and interesting to us.

Did you have any challenges trying to get everyone to sit down together at first? Did you succeed in implementing family meals after a challenging period?
