One of the most satisfactory things for me as a mother is when I put a good meal on the table for my family.  Maybe it's because they appreciate it so much.  Maybe it's because this way I know they are eating healthy.  Maybe because it's a vital part of life and it feels very nurturing.  Maybe because when someone is well fed, they seem happier, more energetic, and more ready to learn. Whatever the reason, I like it.  It's one of the ways I communicate love – I give food!  It makes me feel good to serve a home-cooked meal.  On this particular night it was fresh steamed green beans and a lasagna (with spinach sneaked in).  As Martha says…"it's a good thing".
