Family Dinner

Once upon a time...

Family dinner was all fresh foods cooked served family style.

At the family kitchen table. 

Then everyone got too busy to cook.

Quick n easy was the new normal

Enter the era of the tv dinners.

From freezer, to oven, to table in 30 minutes.

No clean up, everything was a throw away.

Even the plastic dinnerware.

Paper cups added to the disposability.

Tv dinners... What can I say. 
NOT THE GREATEST. 

Then somewhere in time people started dating out more.

But... home cooked meals started to make a comeback. 

Enter premium prepared frozen meals

Like Stouffer's and Marie Callender's

Home cooking declines once again.

Now, we are finally returning to home cooked meals.
