Eating dinner as a family is linked to all sorts of benefits for both kids and adults: higher grades, better self-esteem, less depression and more.
But between after-school activities and other time commitments, it can be hard to get everyone to sit down for a family meal, not to mention a healthy family meal. It only takes a few tweaks to make family dinners happen regularly that are both healthy AND delicious.
Join us and our co-host celebrity chef Ingrid Hoffman as we tweet about weeknight family dinner and how to make it healthier at the next #SaludTues Tweetchat.
