The event is Tuesday, September 29 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church Family Life Center that is located at 301 South Main in Weatherford.
Dinner Tonight will feature demonstrations of easy and nutritious meus that can be prepared in 30 minutes or less. The objective for the evening will to help busy people learn ideas for meal preparation and feel good about feeding themselves and their family. The goal is to promote family mealtime, teach families healthy meal planning and food preparation techniques, promote Texas agriculture and local grocery stores.

The eat-at-home aspect of Dinner Tonight reinforces research that shows families who sit down to regular family meals consume more fruits, vegetables and fiber and they perform better academically at school and at work.
