More about Kim: Kim and Jeff Burton have been married for 17 years and have two children, so they understand the importance of families eating together, even with a hectic schedule! Here are some of Kim’s tips for getting back to the table with family within a budget:
Keep it Quick, Simple and Fun- When it comes to family dinners, think affordable, simple AND delicious. Try using a crock-pot or making a casserole like Libby’s Kicked Up Mac and Cheese. My family is constantly moving and shaking so I am always looking for timesaving and quick recipes. I’ve learned over the years to keep a stocked pantry with items such as Libby’s Vegetables – they’re cost-effective, nutritious and really quick and easy to prepare.
Embrace Dinnertime- Most busy families wish for more time together – dinnertime is the perfect solution. Regular family dinners are one of the best things a busy family can do to stay close. Since the kids were little Jeff and I have made it a goal to sit down for dinner every night as a family.
Connect with Family and Friends- Since our lives are so hectic, when it comes to spending time with friends and family during the busy race season or summer holidays – keep things simple. Down-to-earth comfort food and time spent with the people we care about – what could be better?
Do you have tips you’d like to share with Kim and Libby’s? You can submit your solutions Here for a chance to be featured in the Libby’s Table Talk Guide published in September.
