With parents at work, and kids at school it can be hard to coordinate family time during the week. Despite everyone's differing schedules, it is important to set apart time during the week for families to participate in activities collectively. Dinnertime is the perfect opportunity for parents to spend time with their kids and learn about their new school term. While time is not on your side during the week, it is important to prepare meals packed with healthy ingredients that support your families' active lifestyle.
