Family Mealtimes And Everyday Dishes

by: Janet King

As mothers, we want to feed our children the healthiest, most nutritional, and the most filling meals at every mealtime. It is imperative that you cut down sugars. Children do not need much sugar in their diets, they are hyper enough and sugar causes tooth decay and obesity in children these days.

Instead of sugars, replace it with other vitamin packed foods such as fruits and vegetables.
Leafy green vegetables are filled with vitamins. It is essential that your child has a large glass of fresh, raw milk (as that stimulates bone and tooth growth) at every single meal.
Suppertime meals for buzzing families usually include boiled potatoes, a vegetable of some sort, and meat- red meat. Good, stimulating beef. That is one of the most important food sources on your plate.
To ensure a healthy immune system in the family, mix some onions and/or minced garlic in the meals. Garlic is an excellent antibiotic, so if somebody does catch a cold, add extra garlic into his meal. When the father, who happens to be a farmer, is out in the fields working, make sure you pack an extra source of fortifying RED MEAT, a good source of iron, into his lunch pack.
As for everyday dishes, I would suggest that you make sure that you always have an extra scoop of mashed potatoes and greens, because you never know when a hungry stranger may show up at your doorstep and wishes to join your family at dinnertime.
