Enjoy Family Dinner With An Indian Fusion Cucumber Salad!
Dinner Time Is More Than Just A Meal
At the end of the day families start to wind down and put dinner on the table. Whether it's just you and your spouse or the entire family, dinner time is special.It's one thing most cultures across the globe agree on. Since marrying into an East Indian family, I've seen just how important meals are. Everything is created around them.Special events, birthday parties, engagement ceremonies..You name it and I bet you it's tied in with a big family meal. Dinner time isn't just about food, it's about community.
Creating memories together as a family.
As my kids are getting older, I'm finding it harder to have one on one time with them. We get so busy throughout the day with our own tasks that we forget to take time to spend with one another. It only gets more difficult as children get older.This is exactly why dinner time in our family is something we fight for. It would be easy to set up dinner in front of the TV and just relax from the chaotic day, but we choose not to. We choose to turn everything off and enjoy dinner together.It's the one time during the day that I have my children's undivided attention and they have mine.We've created memories around our dinner table. I look at it and see giggling children, silly conversations, and a happy family.Don't let life distract you from making memories with your family.What do you do during dinner time? Do you sit around the dinner table talking about your day? Do you ask silly questions like we do?
On The Table Tonight
Tonight, my family is enjoying delicious Bertolli® Chicken Florentine and Farfalle pasta served with a cumin and lemon cucumber salad. Can you say yum?!The best part of dinner tonight is that most of it is done for me! Bertolli® understands how busy families get and they don't want anything getting in the way of dinner time with the family. We picked up their family size pasta and simply had to fry it up on the stove.Within minutes it was done and the family started rushing into the kitchen asking what I was making.I even kicked things up a notch by adding in a refreshing salad.
