If your family struggles to make meal time happen, try creating kid-friendly recipes that bring everyone together at the table. For example, these pulled pork sandwiches from “Family Table by Robert Irvine” can help you incorporate assistance from your kids to nourish both mind and body while committing to the efforts of the National Family Meals Movement, created by the Food Marketing Institute Foundation, to reap the benefits of enjoying more meals together at home.
