They have so many interesting candies and drinks. I always have to grab a couple before I head to the checkout. They also have dishware and household items that you won't find at other stores. There is much more inside than you might think, and you should head over there to find something fabulous to make for your family tonight. You'll be hooked, immediately. I promise.

Meals are that wonderful time when you open yourself up and relax a bit and it is the perfect thing to host. Food is relatable, accessible and full of experiments. Cooking dinner gives you a chance to plan an experience for those you love, and should be something everyone does (yes, you).

It was the house I brought three of my babies home to, where first steps were taken, vegetable gardens were tended, and where we watched the oak tree sentries in the front yard grow along with our children. It kept us safe during a global pandemic, and it was a loyal haven during our own personal storms.

My grip on my house loosened and I was full of peace. I knew that our home was not just liked, but loved. That it meant something more than just a nice place to live to the people who would inhabit it next.

The passenger cars of the dinner train are all steel-skirted cars built by the Budd Company in the late 1940s after World War II. They have been refurbished extensively by R. J. Corman Railroad Company, far exceeding the original interior design. The RJC-007 was built for the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1941 as a 54-seat day coach. The RJC-021, built in 1948, was used on the El Capitan train by the Santa Fe Railroad and has been outfitted with the most up-to-date equipment to serve as our kitchen car. The RJC-777 was refurbished and added to the dinner train in May of 1992.

Well worth the 9-hour drive from Florida! We had so much fun in Bardstown. The highlight of our trip was the dinner train. Relaxing train ride through the Kentucky hillside. The dinner was 5-star. The service was exceptional. We will be going back again.

Our anniversary treat was the lunch dinner train and it was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was great, our server was exceptional, and the food was tasty. Loved the dessert! The over-all train ride experience was fun and unique.

My husband had been wanting to have a dinner train experience, and this did not disappoint. Linen tablecloths and beautiful table settings. Pleasant and efficient staff. The servings are HUGE, and as it turns out I over-ordered. Recommend you only get the appetizers if you are in a group of four - clearly the volume of food is meant to serve more than just a couple. Appetizers were delicious :)

Train ride, Bourbon, good food, good friends, and a murderer mystery. Or service was 5 star, the train car was so beautiful, and very comfortable. I liked the scenic ride. We started or dinner with a wonderful pimento cheese with crackers, salad, I had prime rib and baked potato, and Derby pie for dessert.

In the United States about 70 percent of meals are consumed outside the home, and about 20 percent are eaten in the car. About half of American families rarely have family dinner, according to The Family Dinner Project at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Decades of research have shown that children who regularly eat dinner with their families at home do better on a number of health measures. When kids eat with their parents, they are more likely to have:

You have more chances than you realize to connect with your family at the table. During the work week, most families have two opportunities a day to dine together (breakfast and dinner) and three chances (breakfast, lunch and dinner) on the weekends. That gives us a total of 16 traditional meal opportunities a week to connect with our families. Anne Fishel, a Harvard Medical School associate clinical professor of psychology and executive director of the Family Dinner Project, says the goal should not be to hit some magic number for family meals, but to find as many dining opportunities together as possible and make the most of them.

Science can offer additional guidance to help you assess where your family falls in the spectrum of potential benefits. In 2012, the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University surveyed 1,003 young people, between the ages of 12 and 17 (493 boys and 510 girls) about their relationships with their parents. The more times a week a teen sat down for a family meal, the more likely he or she reported having high-quality relationships with parents. Family dinners are also strongly linked to lower rates of teen substance abuse. Based on this research, here are some numbers to think about:

5-7 Meals a Week: The Columbia study identified five to seven meals a week as the point where the greatest benefits in teen and family health were seen. While every extra meal with your family is a good thing, you get the most benefit at about seven meals (breakfast, lunch or dinner) together a week.

Solo Parents Sometimes the family table only has one adult. Divorced and single parents have different dinner planning challenges than married parents. Sometimes one parent has to leave for work early, come home late or be away on business, leaving another parent to manage the family meal. Remember that a successful family table is one that results in family connection, healthful food and fun conversation. One adult at the table is better than none.

Late-Night Table Time Some families simply can't make the schedule work for breakfast lunch or dinner. Kids have sports practices, moms and dads may have to work late. When a family meal is simply impossible, think about a late-night chocolate milk or hot cocoa moment where everyone can spend a few minutes catching up or sharing a simple moment from the day.

Use Smaller Plates: Studies show that people eat larger portions when the serving dish is large. Large plates, big popcorn buckets, big glasses and deep round bowls make portions look smaller and prompt us to eat more. Take a look at your dinner plates and other dishes. Shop at thrift stores or antique stores to find the smaller dinner plates that were common 50 years ago.

Make It Fun: When family health researchers study family dinner, they often hear from adults who remember tortuous family meals with strict rules and lots of discipline. But family dinner should be fun. One strategy to keep it lively is to think of theme nights. Involve kids in choosing the theme. Breakfast for dinner, Taco Tuesday, Finger Foods and Picnic Night are fun ways to make cooking easy and to make dinnertime fun. During cleanup, crank up the music and let kids pick their favorite song.

Weekend Cooking: Use weekends and downtime to chop and cook vegetables, boil and refrigerate pasta, make a casserole or grill some chicken. It will take the stress out of getting family dinner on the table during the workweek.

A number of studies also support the importance of play at the dinner table. A study of 1,492 children in Quebec found that the quality of the meal environment (measured by whether families enjoyed the meal and had an opportunity to talk) predicted higher levels of fitness, lower soft drink consumption and fewer behavior problems among 6- to 10-year-olds. 781b155fdc
