What a lively @FDP_Tweets Community Dinner @mghfc Raising Healthy Hearts in the beautiful #MGHRevereTeachingKitchen. Kids and parents chose their own salad fixings, made pictures that they ate. We played games, used conversation jars for a great shared meal @MassGeneralNews

The Surgeon General calls loneliness an "epidemic," and it's hitting older adults, teens, and Millenials especially hard. What if (part of) the solution could be found at our dinner tables? thefamilydinnerproject.org/n… #sharedmeals #loneliness #mentalhealth

Feeling Lonely? Share a Meal. - The Family Dinner Project

Loneliness is an epidemic in America, but research shows that sharing a meal with others can be powerful for lonely people of all ages.

Bears are definitely trying to get out of the family Thanksgiving drama. (If you need help with your Thanksgiving...check out our amazing Thanksgiving hub! thefamilydinnerproject.org/t…)

not to be accusatory, but it’s kinda “convenient” how bears suddenly decide to take a mandatory months-long nap through all the major family holidays.

Relatable. I once found a coffee mug in the pantry next to the cereal.😂 Also, this is why many parents give up on asking for help -- but it's exactly why we *should* ask! No one gets good at a task without practice. 🌟to anyone who keeps trying despite the wacky outcome.

My kids unloading the dishwasher is wild. Have they ever been in this kitchen in their lives? It appears not. Either that, or they are planning a fun little scavenger hunt for me the next time I need something.

Instead of ordering takeout again, consider the idea of a fallback meal, something you can easily make from items that you keep on hand for emergencies. @FDP_Tweets @FamiliusTalk amzn.to/3Q1qu33 #ad #StevosNovelIdeas #cookbook #dinner

Just an annual reminder that you can absolutely pull out your phone at the dinner table if you're doing so in service of debating the Fat Bear Week brackets!🐻
