Hey there, it's Jessica and Samantha! In this episode, we dive into the world of family dinners and how much things have changed since we were kids. Remember sitting at the table every night, no TV, no phones, just talking about your day? Well, times have definitely changed! We chat about the challenges of getting everyone together, the battles we choose to fight (or not fight) with our kids, and how we're adapting to the busy lives we lead today.
We reminisce about the good old days of home-cooked meals and the dreaded milk at our friends' houses (yuck!). But we also discuss how our roles as moms today are different from our own moms, and how convenience often wins out over tradition. Whether it's takeout, pizza nights, or meal delivery services like HelloFresh, we're all just trying to make it work for our families.
Join us as we get real about the guilt and expectations surrounding family dinners, and how we're learning to let go of what we "should" be doing and focus on what works for us. Because at the end of the day, every family is different, and there's no one right way to do things. So grab a seat at our virtual dinner table and let's chat!
Hope you enjoyed this episode!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
