Food Worth Gathering For

How often does your family gather for a meal together?

Breaking bread as a family, around the table, is a lost art in our culture, yet one of the most important threads that make up a family.

Want to reestablish this timeless tradition in your home? Sometimes all it takes are a few delicious recipes that everyone is excited to connect over.

Ahhh-mazing!! My meat lovers loved the meatballs. My vegetarians loved the homemade sauce! And we gathered around the table (hard to do these days) and enjoyed having that time together with a warm homecooked meal.

About the Author


Nikki is no stranger to the power of a good recipe. She grew up in a family where gathering around good food, especially family recipes that have been passed down through the generations, was the norm. She loved how a good meal could change the hearts of those at the table, and some of her fondest memories include breaking bread with those she loved most…so much so that she’s made it a non-negotiable in her own family for the past 14 years, and that has established a connection between them that is unmatched. Nikki has turned this experience into a rally cry to help others do the same, knowing how needed shared meals are in our hurried, overscheduled culture. Connection in any family is paramount, and a good meal is a key ingredient in making this a reality.

Nikki is a former Interior Designer turned stay at home wife, mom, homeschooling parent, health coach, author, and pursuer of Jesus. She lives in a small town in Wisconsin with her husband Adam of 15 years, their two children (Isaac and Isla), and their menagerie of random pets on their very amateur alpaca ranch.

Church Award Chili

I’ve made the chili and meatloaf with roasted potatoes. The chili and meatloaf both had really great flavor. And the parchment paper for the potatoes is a game changer! I’ve never tried that and they turned out evenly roasted. Plus, it made for easy clean-up.
