How can we make home-cooking easier? It is important not to force it, not to feel it is a chore. Little by little, we can make it a part of our lives – an activity that can be shared in a family. And it does not have to be done in a certain way or always the same way. 

Kids love to cook. They love to participate. When you have friends over, let people help. Let someone wash the lettuce or divide up the shopping. Get others involved. Let’s start looking at our meal times differently. Maybe it is as simple as just having someone who gets home before you take something out of the freezer, maybe begin a little prep work. Like in a restaurant, it’s not just one person’s job. There’s a group of people with everyone doing something, doing a job that makes it come together. It would be impossible in a restaurant if the chef had to do everything and do it all from scratch. I can promise you that would not last. 

Let’s start dividing up practical things, getting everyone involved in the process. Food really will taste better, and our meals can be an activity of fun.
