Jane

Jane epitomizes the traditional characterization of an era that once truly valued family dining. Over the years traditional family dining has been replaced with restaurants, fast food, take-out and less nutritious meals on the go. With that, kid’s activities have increased and in came video games and MTV. Empty nesters and Gen Y'rs are looking for ways to sustain more satisfactory lifestyles. Studies show that modern day families have the same values as those of yester year, yet struggle with finding time. Jane is the yester year character that has jumped into the year 2008. She can guide you and help you bring dinner back to your family's table. Look for her everywhere you see the Supper Thyme USA logo-she'll be there!
