“I know, without a doubt, that family time at the table has more power than any government funded program, any million dollar initiative, or any other activity we can plug our children into. Those precious few minutes of conversation around the table can lead to better choices and decisions made by children when they are away from the home. Choices that are influenced by the voice of a mom or dad at a dinner table expressing their view of what is right and wrong; even though when those views were expressed… we were sure they went in one ear and out the other! They did not… they stuck somewhere within the mass of all the other information being fed into those precious minds. This is how we influence generational change around the dinner table!”
The moment I read this on the About Us page on Homemade Gourmet.com, I screamed “YES! You are absolutely correct Tami!” Tami VanHoy is the founder of Homemade Gourmet.com and she seems like my kind of people. I also believe that family time at the table has more power than anything. I grew up in a home where you had to eat what was on your plate, you didn’t get dessert unless you finished a meal and you were thankful even if it happened to be icky yucky Liver, you were thankful for it. These simple things created larger portions of character wherein I became grateful for what was given and I learned one must do what is necessary before you can have time to enjoy things in Life. I became a believer in the vision of Homemade Gourmet immediately.
Amber Friedli became an Independent Consultant of Homemade Gourmet to supplement her family of four’s income and enjoy some time out in her life, I don’t blame her; every Mom and Wife deserves to have some free time. She is also a believer of this message and introduced me to Homemade Gourmet and after reviewing the Great Grilling Collection I have to say that not only do they have a strong message but wow… an amazing mix of flavors! The Great Grilling Collection alone comes with four different ways to grill; the Kansas City Rub, Chicken Enchilada Soup Mix, Garlic Lemon Seasoning and Cilantro Citrus Seasoning! And this is just ONE product! They offer dip mixes, dressings, cheesecakes, soups, “Simply Simmers” that even have bags for your crock pot! Ready made bottled items, biscuit mixes, diabetic mixes, gluten free, vegetarian; and most of them are even compatible with Weight Watchers! Simply amazing.
I tried out a few of their dishes, all of which were wonderful, but so far my families favorite is the Kansas City Rub. Maybe it’s because we’re mid-western and we love grilling and BBQs; either way this was delicious! I used it on pork chops, followed the very simple directions and had a meal in less than 4 minutes! This didn’t include the marinate time or the time I decided to take with my son Cody in rubbing the season onto the pork chops. We giggled and laughed and had our hands all messy and it was nice. I thought that since the purpose of these meals was to bring families back together around the table that we’d start right from scratch.
The products speak for themselves. They are good wholesome meals for your family to sit around the table and enjoy. They’re quick to prepare, quick to get to your table for today’s busy families to still enjoy what that feels like to have that family time. I honestly suggest you check it out, ask Mrs. Friedli if you have any questions! They also throw parties of all sorts; happy hour, office parties, themed… you can even get together and host with your friends! It’s definitely worth it.
