With today's busy lifestyles, most women find that putting a home-cooked dinner on the table each evening has become an impossible challenge. By providing the tools necessary to make delicious home-cooked meals while still saving time and money, Add Salt & Serve has been helping busy moms enjoy stress-free family dinners since 2005.
Having your menu and shopping list has saved me so much time and money, has my family eating things we'd never tried before, and keeps us talking at the table rather than rushing through a restaurant. You've taken all the stress out of the kitchen for me, and put the fun back in! ~ Michelle
Add Salt & Serve isn't just helping moms save time and money; family dinners actually strengthen family relationships and help teens stay substance-free. According to a 2010 study by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, three out of four teens say that dinner is when they talk to their parents about what is going on in their lives, and eight out of ten parents believe that they learn more about what is happening in their teens lives by having family dinners. The study showed that teens who report talking to their parents about their everyday lives at dinner are less likely to smoke, drink, or use marijuana than those don't.
