NOURISHMENT

This particular sentiment, the communion of a nourishing family dinner, is something I hope we’ve all had an opportunity to enjoy. It’s certainly challenging to line everyone’s schedules up these days but meal time is special for a lot of families. In many, but not all, cases Mom is often the steward and keeper of nutrition in the household and it’s easily one of the hardest and most thankless jobs.

Naturally I grappled with the perception of gender roles with this frame, BUT my personal experience and the fact that I STILL can’t make food as well as my mother trumped the need to circumvent that pitfall. I hope readers see this for what it is, which is Mom just taking charge of everyone’s health and well-being by nourishing bodies and spirits!

Super Satisfied,
