The Modern Family Dinner Table

What does your dinner table look like?  A TV tray, a minivan, an office desk, an actual dinner table…with piles of mail and school assignments pushed to the corner? And what’s on your plates?  Steak and potatoes for dad, salad with low-carb bread for mom, grilled cheese on gluten-free bread for the kids?

What happened to our family dinner table?  

Hey, we’re not here to judge.  The modern family dinner table has changed dramatically.  Why, June Cleaver wouldn’t even recognize our table (or what’s on our plates) anymore.  Times have changed – travel, technology, activities, endless blasts of information from all directions…pesticides, arsenic, high fructose corn syrup.  Our lifestyle and our food is hardly what our parents lived and ate.

Conveniently Natural is a family-owned business and some days it’s a toss-up in determining whether we’re a family or a business.  My mom hat, my marketing hat, wife hat, CFO hat, chef hat, house-cleaner hat, customer service hat, kitchen manager hat…At the end of the day, we’re both a family and a business serving families who wear all these hats too.  We believe that TRUE health and happiness lies in combining all these roles, personally and professionally, because the quality of our lives is determined by the quality of our relationships. 

The quality of our relationships is determined by the communities we belong to ~ our family extends beyond blood relatives (I’m adopted anyway).  YOU are our family too.  Each week, our Conveniently Natural family prepares meals for the best family dinner parties around KC – in your dining rooms, offices, and maybe even on the go.  Conveniently Natural was born out of the idea that life (especially a healthy life) just doesn’t have to be that hard.  Let us help – that’s what family does.  Thanks for being part of our community and letting us be a part of yours. 

Good deed this week:  Add a Family Size (48 oz) dish ala carte this week and share with someone you consider family – a neighbor, co-worker, school teacher, old friend, or hey…call your mom.  She wants to hear from you.
