We sit down together for dinner every night. I hope that as our children get older that they will want to continue this tradition. I think that a good family rule would be to eat together at least 3 times a week.

Cooking dinner with your children is also a great opportunity for real quality time and discussion. Each of our children is given a day of the week, which is their opportunity to choose and to help prepare the family meal. Every other week they also get to pick the meal. Children love to measure, scoop, stir and talk.

This recipe is a favorite and freezes well, feeds 2 adults and 6 children.

Peel 10 medium potatoes and 6 carrots, and 4 celery sticks. Chop into eighths and barely cover with water and season with salt and lemon pepper. Cook till tender. Mash and add 1 can evaporated milk, 1 can cream of chicken or mushroom soup and 1 can of drained clams. Cook till heated through and serve with bread, rolls, crackers etc.
