As Mary Beth McCauley’s cover story in the Christian Science Monitor puts it:
“The family dinner – bolstered by science and popular buzz – is back: From Hollywood to the White House and out there at the dinner tables of America, the family ritual is increasingly considered the right thing to do. The food may not be haute, but the gathering is believed to to be connected to lower rates of drug use, obesity, and pregnancy among teens.”
Laurie is featured in the article, “The Family Dinner is Back,” which can be read in full at The Christian Science Monitor.

The New York Times has a great article, “Table Talk: The New Family Dinner,” about the importance of encouraging family dinner talk.
As Laurie comments in the article, “A big part of the challenge is teaching your kids how to have a real conversation, not a texting conversation.” “If they’re not sitting down at the table, the art of conversation is going to go.”
It is so important to encourage your children, and the entire family, to share conversation at the the family dinner table. For some great conversation starters, check out the HuffPost Table Talk on Fridays.

We are thrilled to share the very special treat we received in the mail this week with you! Delicious, beautiful to behold and full of wonderful surprises this treat is not only satiating but good for your health. The best news is you can devour it over and over again!
As you may have guessed, it wasn’t the usual treat that can brighten your day – a bouquet of flowers or a box of chocolates, although those are both delightful gifts. Rather, this week we received the March issue of Where Women Cook featuring Laurie at home in Los Angeles.
Filled with wonderful stories and stunning photos of women from across the country sharing their love of cooking, this issue is a true delicacy to be savored. After reading the magazine from cover to cover, we couldn’t help but feel inspired by the creativity, warmth and passion each woman’s story evoked.
This weekend we hope you treat yourself to a quiet moment, join Laurie in her garden as she picks kale and in her kitchen for a cup of tea, and explore Where Women Cook this March.
