What does the phrase “family dinner” mean to you? When I think of a family dinner, I think of the entire family sitting around the table, eating a home-cooked meal, uninterrupted. For many families, this rarely, if ever, happens. Instead the family dinner has morphed into something new and barely recognizable. Instead of eating around the table, families are eating on the couch in front of the TV, they are eating in the car or separately in their rooms. Instead of a home-cooked meal, they are eating take-out, delivery, fast food, frozen dinners or pre-made meals. Instead of an uninterrupted time to enjoy each others company, we are busy watching TV, texting, driving or pretty much anything else you could think of. The loss of the traditional family dinner is a very sad thing; it’s a loss of the celebration of good, real food and the people we love. But it can be reclaimed.

Rhubarb is here! These muffins are moist and delicious, spiced with warm cinnamon and tangy bits of rhubarb. And rhubarb is a vegetable! I love it when I can sneak vegetables into desserts. These would be great frosted if you wanted something more decadent. I made them mostly to serve as a quick breakfast or snack. Check out Elana’s Pantry for some great frosting recipes.

Unfortunately, we forgot to take pictures during the class, so you’ll just have to imagine how everything would look. The class featured mexican-inspired dishes, full of color and flavor and a great way to welcome summer in. And of course, we eliminated the most common food allergies!
