The biggest take-away I hope you get out of this is that creating and eating together as a family deepens bonds and makes our brains feel good.

I know there’s a family out there reading this in absolute disagreement. If you’re one of the exceptions to this, keep looking for ways to insert something fun and silly to all of this. Maybe it’s putting an exploding toy snake in the empty casserole dish with the lid on.

Break the tension and bring the love into the kitchen. We all have to eat at some point. Why not make it happen in a way that your unique family loves?
