In Anni’s Conscious Kitchen
with Conscious Family Living
Lifestyle Expert, Anni Daulter
Welcome to Winter, where the trees
are bare, fires warm the home and the
cupboards are full of fall bounty. This is
the time when families come together
for shared meals and celebrations and
when grandmothers pass down cooking traditions long held sacred in the
family. What is amazing about having
your own children is that you can start
new traditions based on your own food
philosophy and pass these down as your
children grow through the years.
Sharing food and friendship is what
this time of year is all about. Fostering
an environment of cozy dinner parties
with family and friends sets up an environment of sharing and community
for your family, that translates into a
64
happy home and healthy lifestyle. These
early memories of having others over
to share in meal times, has a lasting
impression on children, and inherently
teaches them the value of food traditions and what it truly means to break
bread together. My husband and I like
our children to bake breads and muffins
and make comforting soups to share
with those in need during the holiday
season. Our kids take time and care in
wrapping holiday breads and labeling
huge mason jars filled with soup to give
to our local homeless shelter. This act
of giving teaches our children a sense
of gratitude for what they have and a
generosity of spirit that can only be fostered with actions and commitment to
the greater good.
