Ella (who is 10 today) and Theo (age 6) started a tradition last fall of serving dinner to Chris and I. Ella named their dinner service “Smiles”. She creates a menu highlighting easy to prepare foods from Eckert’s deli, bakery and produce departments. Tonight’s menu featured Eckert’s Homegrown Lettuce with Grandma Barb’s Dressing, a choice of Chef Darren’s chicken or beef with Amish noodles and an iced cookie and frozen custard for dessert.


This has become a fun monthly dinner tradition for our family. It gives the kids a chance to work together on meal planning, serving and clearing the table. Chris and I enjoy being guests in our own home. Hope you will give it a try with your kids or grandkids soon!
Eat well this Valentine’s Day, Angie
