There is nothing I value more than the memories I have of growing up. Traditions were made without me even realizing it, and I find myself as an adult craving to relive those memories with my own daughter so she can look back and have the same memories. 🙂
Sunday’s were a big deal in our household! We would get dressed up in the morning and head to church, then meet in the courtyard afterward for donuts and coffee (or juice for the kids). I would climb the trees in my church clothes and scratch up my white patent leather shoes ;), and play with all my friends while our parents would sit around at the picnic tables and talk for a few hours before we would all head home and get ready to have a nice dinner. Sunday dinners were always the best…
Here’s 15 favorites I’ve pulled together to give you some ideas…
Now, married with my own family I sometimes regret not carrying on that tradition. My husband has an occupation that requires him to work most weekends so it’s very rare to have a relaxing Sunday together, but on that very rare occasion we do get to spend time together I always try to make a nice meal for us. Sunday dinners are a special time to sit around the table and reflect with your loved ones. To tell stories and jokes, and share wishes and plans. Spending time with your family around the dinner table, completely unplugged from the world is so important, and so is the meal you share while your there.
I’d love to know about your Sunday dinners if you feel like sharing! Whether you still host them, plan to, or are just a great memory I’d love to hear about your favorite Sunday dinner recipes below. 🙂
Talk to you soon friends, take care!

It caught my attention when you mentioned that it’s important for everyone to be “unplugged” during Sunday dinner around the table. Additionally, if your family is spiritual, I think Sunday dinners are a great time to share stories about faith with your children. Your additional suggestion of making sure there are no phones at the table could go a long way in promoting engagement with those faith-based stories!
