Getting Back To The Dinner Table
In the fast-paced world we live in, it is often difficult to find the time to sit down and have a good home-cooked meal with the people we love. Before I moved to TCU for college, my family would enjoy a big dinner every night prepared by my parents. The dinner table was the place where the whole family gathered at the end of each day. We would eat and talk about what happened at school or work and we would discuss our schedules for the rest of the week. During this short, yet meaningful, time we were all able to relax and take a break from our hectic days of school, work, and extracurricular activities.
Now that I am a college student, sitting down for a home-cooked meal is a very rare occasion. I don’t live with my parents anymore and my friends all have their own agendas that keep them from having the time to cook something up. I find myself eating more fast food and takeout than ever before, as do my friends.
This needs to change. College students should understand that they DO have the time to cook healthy, quick meals. I believe that my fellow students need to once again learn to appreciate taking some time out of their busy schedules to sit down at the dinner table with friends to relax and reflect on the day.
I am dedicating this blog to college students who are looking for easy, healthy dinner recipes that they can make in a reasonable amount of time. Beginning with my next post, I will suggest certain main-course dishes and sides to put together for a traditional home-cooked meal that college students can manage to make and enjoy.
