Here’s the Dish on Family Dining

By November 29, 2018 No Comments

Between work and school, you’re lucky if you can manage a paper bag lunch before your kid’s out the door, much less a full course dinner around the table. We know how stressful keeping a consistent meal prep plan can become, especially during your busiest season at work. As much as you’d like to schedule a game night or try out a new recipe, life tends to get in the way sometimes. So, if you find yourselves picking at a hodgepodge of leftovers most nights, maybe it’s time to turn to another, lower maintenance solution. When you save at least one night a week towards dining at your favorite restaurant, the advantages can go a long way.

If you find yourselves picking at a hodgepodge of leftovers most nights, maybe it’s time to turn to another, lower maintenance solution. When you save at least one night a week towards dining at your favorite restaurant, the advantages can go a long way.

Rob’s Family BBQ accommodates to the family in need of more quality time – you’ll find folks of all walks under our roof: workaholic parents and antsy teenagers alike. Don’t let the ‘back to school’ madness stop you from breaking bread together, let us do the cooking for a change. It’s simultaneously a catalyst of and break in routine – everyone will come to expect it at the end of the week while being given the freedom to occasionally order something unusual. When you don’t have to worry about cooking, you can focus all your efforts into making conversation and simply enjoying each other’s company. As a number of studies suggest, this kind of gesture potentially leads to long-term benefits for your kids, especially if they’re still in their more formative years (i.e. 9 to 14-year-olds). Interestingly enough, eating together regularly can lead to academic success, higher reported levels of happiness, healthier nutrition, and generally less stress.

What’s more, a diverse menu allows you to experiment with different food combinations. If your regular order starts to get old, you can switch things up with a new side or change in an appetizer – plus, the relaxed atmosphere allows you to unwind and even sample each other’s dishes (assuming you feel up to sharing). Before you know it, you’ll start actively anticipating the family downtime. It’s a refreshing night together free of dishes, clamoring around the kitchen, and fighting over who has clean-up duty. You won’t have to worry about adjusting to food allergies, diets, or preferences because Rob’s has something for everyone. You’ll grow more comfortable with each other and your kids will feel less pressured and like the fact they’re in a safe, judgment-free space.  There’s something refreshing about treating yourself in that kind of group setting, and it’s a decision that betters your relationships in the long-term.

So when it comes to finding that calm space during the week, satisfy everyone’s taste buds with something scrumptious from Rob’s Family BBQ and enjoy the bonus of sharing family time with those you care about most.
