Lightbulb moment!! The food doesn't have to be fancy to have Family Dinner!! It doesn't even have to be fancy to be healthy (ok, maybe the brownies aren't so healthy - I used them to bribe Sam to get a haircut). I've discovered one key ingredient to successful Family Dinner is RELAXED MOM. So sometimes that might look like me having created a culinary masterpiece and feeling really good about it. But it also might look like me throwing some canned beans and Rotel in a pot and serving it with rice so I can sit down sooner and so that everyone will eat without complaint or eye roll. Family Dinner doesn't have to be about the food. It's mostly about the family.
FYI Sam's before and after:
Woohoo!!!! Love the haircut!
