Senator Mimi Walters (R-Laguna Niguel) and other Legislators join Guy Fieri, host of the Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives” in promoting families cooking and eating together. “Making cooking a family activity, in which parents and children work together to prepare a meal, is a great opportunity to strengthen family unity,” said Walters.
