What a lively @FDP_Tweets Community Dinner @mghfc Raising Healthy Hearts in the beautiful #MGHRevereTeachingKitchen. Kids and parents chose their own salad fixings, made pictures that they ate.
We played games, used conversation jars for a great shared meal @MassGeneralNews

Loving this lineup of bags ready to go out from our partners at the @MassGeneralNews Revere Pantry! These are part of our Dinner in a Box program, providing supportive fun, conversation, recipes, and family resources in food packages from partner sites. 🫶

We are so thrilled to be working with @TJMonticello, @historymadebyus, @challahbackgrls, and @NewAmericanHist on this #civicseason roundup. If July 4th is hitting a little differently this year, have a peek at what we've put together.

[Monticello @TJMonticello]

(1/2) July 4th celebrates our country’s history, but it can also spark conversations about what’s next. How can we find common ground? A good meal.

Check out this conversation guide, see 🧵 for part 2!)

It's wicked hot here in New England, and in other parts of the country, too. Cooking and eating might feel like the last things anyone wants to do right now. Here are some quick tips for dealing with dinner during a heat wave! #familydinner #heatwave #beattheheat

Everyone is welcome at our table. #pridemonth #conversation #familydinner

The Surgeon General calls loneliness an "epidemic," and it's hitting older adults, teens, and Millenials especially hard. What if (part of) the solution could be found at our dinner tables? https://t.co/uy4hOepD94 #sharedmeals #loneliness #mentalhealth

In the midst of a mental heath crisis among kids, start with the basics.

Dr. Anne Fishel, Director of the Family Dinner Project @FDP_Tweets, outlines the many benefits of eating together in this @TIME article.

Bears are definitely trying to get out of the family Thanksgiving drama.

not to be accusatory,

but it’s kinda “convenient” how bears suddenly decide to take a mandatory months-long nap through all the major family holidays.

@dailystem Try having this student use large-square graph paper for math. Each digit goes in its own (big) box. They'll need more paper per assignment and should only do 1-2 problems on each side, but so be it. (parent of kid with functional vision issue who thinks this looks familiar!)

[The Family Dinner Project @FDP_Tweets]

Relatable. I once found a coffee mug in the pantry next to the cereal.😂
Also, this is why many parents give up on asking for help -- but it's exactly why we *should* ask! No one gets good at a task without practice. 🌟to anyone who keeps trying despite the wacky outcome.

[Meg St-Esprit @MegStEsprit]

My kids unloading the dishwasher is wild. Have they ever been in this kitchen in their lives? It appears not.

Either that, or they are planning a fun little scavenger hunt for me the next time I need something.

Thanks for shouting out our book, "Eat, Laugh, Talk!" #eatlaughtalkbook

[Steve Brock @Stevo4747]

Instead of ordering takeout again, consider the idea of a fallback meal, something you can easily make from items that you keep on hand for emergencies. @FDP_Tweets @FamiliusTalk https://t.co/bYI2AWKu2f #ad #StevosNovelIdeas #cookbook #dinner
