In today's busy lifestyle getting together for a family meal can be quite challenging for most of us.What's important is the tradition of coming together at the dinner table as a family and consistently maintaining that tradition.We strive to achieve just that by having family meals every evening and its a great way to enjoy some quality time thereby creating some everlasting memories!It could be indoors or outdoors and it could be any day or everyday of the week!That to me is what #SundaySupper is all about.You must be wondering why I'm talking about all this!Well, our SundaySupper team wants to know what #SundaySupper means to us and our lifestyle.

During the summer, family meals can be so much more fun since you're constantly outside enjoying the weather.We often enjoy our dinner outdoors with family picnics.Its perfectly relaxing.We usually end up going to our local park with some mats to sit on, some games for the kids and some fun food.Talking about food, my picnic basket is usually made-up of fresh fruits,salads,sandwiches,some cool drinks and of course my Macaroni with Spinach Pecan Pesto J

It can be served warm or cold and is a breeze to put together not to mention incredibly delicious and healthy!I use whole wheat macaroni that has a great flavor and texture.My kids are always excited to see macaroni on the table and this is a lovely variation from the usual mac and cheese that they're so used to having J

The pesto tastes great with the toasted pecans and spinach combo.Mixed with some olive oil and parmesan cheese, its an explosion of delicious flavors in every bite!Super easy and family friendly, this is one dish that has become a staple in my family J
