I don't have time to post the recipe right now, but I'm going to bring Pumpkin Trifle and I was thinking Banana Cream Pie (unless someone else likes to make that).

The Importance of Family Meals

From Elder Dallin H. Oaks:

The number of those who report that their “whole family usually eats dinner together” has declined 33 percent. This is most concerning because the time a family spends together “eating meals at home [is] the strongest predictor of children’s academic achievement and psychological adjustment.”3 Family mealtimes have also been shown to be a strong bulwark against children’s smoking, drinking, or using drugs.4 There is inspired wisdom in this advice to parents: what your children really want for dinner is you.

From President Ezra Taft Benson:

Mealtime provides a wonderful time to review the activities of the day and to not only feed the body, but to feed the spirit as well, with members of the family taking turns reading the scriptures, particularly the Book of Mormon.
