Tavia Hunt, wife of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, knows that family strength isn’t built just on game days—it starts at the dinner table. As a mom of three and a regular presence at the stadium, she recently shared a simple yet powerful message about family. Reposting a heartfelt video from @brunchwithbabs, Tavia emphasized the importance of gathering around the dinner table.

The eye-opening findings are supported by a 20-year study from Massachusetts General Hospital. This is what Barbara Costello (@brunchwithbabs) shared in her video. The hospital’s findings resonate with what grandmothers have always known in their hearts, that family dinner is powerful. “Eating dinner together impacts everyone in the family by improving their spirit, brain, and health.” There’s more to the video. It mentions, “But the results for children? They’re off the charts.” It leads to higher self-esteem and better academic performance while lowering depression and anxiety.

The video further mentions, “kids who grow up having family dinner tend to eat healthier.” A stunning 80% of teens say dinner is when they’re most likely to open up to their parents. Barbara’s verdict, which Tavia agrees with, is clear enough. “Kitchen table is the best source of family therapy.” Babs is here to give tips and tricks to everyone to stay put during dinner time.

Barbara Costello is more than just a cookbook author—she’s a grandmother, former teacher, and the internet’s go-to source for dinnertime magic. Her new book, Every Day with Babs, features 101 family-friendly meals organized by days of the week. For example, “Get Your Sheet Together Monday” offers one-pan meals, “Thrifty Thursday” focuses on budget-friendly dinners using pantry staples, “Fri-Yay” is all about crowd-pleasers, and “Sweet Tooth” highlights nostalgic desserts.

Beyond recipes, Babs shares heartwarming rituals in both her videos and cookbook to keep the dinner table conversation flowing. From a Talk Jar and Dinner Candle to games like Two Truths and a Fib and Story Time, her ideas are as charming as they are simple. Her motto says it all: “Let’s bring back the joy of mealtime—one night at a time.”

Just like Babs, even the Kansas City Chiefs CEO’s wife gets it. It is easier to eat with the TV on. But the effort is worth it. “Your kids will thank you later,” just like Babs says. Tavia Hunt’s latest advice comes amidst her support for her husband.
