The trick to a family meal? Cook good, wholesome food. Fun food where the kids can eat with their fingers works, or messy food like spaghetti.

lmao lay off the booze

also...equate broccoli to money saved for their favorite toy. So, every broccoli floret eaten is a nickel into the xbox 360 fund...know what i mean?

Our first step is to turn off the television. If it is on, kids will zone on it and not talk with us.

At least one night a week, one of the kids gets to pick dinner.

another thing we do is only serve milk or water (and we try to keep it to just water) at mealtimes. You just don't want a kid getting all hyped up on the sugar (even natural sugar from juice) or caffeine and water keeps them from filling up on their drink, so they eat better.

Meal tricks I'd like to trick myself into making them taste good when I cook!

We have family dinner every night together. As a general rule you have to stay at the table until everyone else is finished but otherwise we use the time to talk and share a laugh with the children.

My husband also gives me a break from time to time and will prepare a meal here and there. It's very helpful on those long days spent chasing after 4 children.
