This is a community

We're a community of imperfect parents who think that having more frequent and meaningful family meals is a good thing

BUT

Schedules don't always to match up, we're usually to tired to cook, the kids don't what to put their phones down, and they'd rather graze through the kitchen and eat junk.

So one solution is to share ideas that work for us.
      • Ideas that make meals more fun and meaningful -- that make them something to look forward to
      • Ideas that make meals for foolproof and easier to make and appreciate
      • Ideas that help our families eat a little bit better and make them a little more fat-proof

We started the Happy Family Meals by asking friends and then all sorts of other people what they do to make their meals more fun, foolproof, and fat-proof.  

I grew up overseas, and I moved to the US for graduate school.  There I met my Midwestern-born husband who was one of my teachers.  We now live  on the East coast with our three young daughters, but we have also lived in California, Iowa, Illinois, Texas, Virginia, Taiwan, and Norway.
