It has been clearly founded that a family that shares at least one meal together each day or as many days as possible a week gives the children a security and validity that those who do not share meals together have. Why? Donna-Marie proves it with her newest book, "Feeding Your Family's Soul". In this gem of a book/cookbook/prayer-book/Inspirational book/activity book is easy to find prayers, recipes to try and enjoy; like Chicken Sausage Gumbo, Taco soup, and Irish Soda Bread, and activity suggestions related to saints, seasons of the year, and sacraments to name a few. These very simple suggestions and reflections help parents lead their children into a better quality time sharing a meal, a prayer, and delicious food.
In the hustle-bustle of everyday modern life, small things like togetherness and quality "down-time" seem to have lost it's place on the priority list in family daily life. Donna-Marie urges and leads our families back to those slower days with grace, love, and delicious recipes. I especially enjoyed seeing the recipes since I'm a recipe junkie, but the prayers and reflections are genuine and peaceful. With so much angst in our world, the family need to be a place where we can come together and close the world out for the night and rejuvenate.

Ebeth - we are a Catholic family of nine. We homeschool and live so that we can love our Faith! My daughters and I enjoying cooking and baking together in the kitchen. Even the boys like to help out and cook. :)
ReplyDeleteWe have three kids--our 24 year old is autistic, lives with us and has taken over a lot of the cooking. Our 21 year old is off at college and my 12 year old starts high school next year. I love having new cookbooks to try new recipies--or to make the kids try them.
