Jenna Bush Hager reveals the three meals her family eats EVERY week – and how they were inspired by childhood dinners with George W. and Laura Bush

Jenna Bush Hager has revealed the three meals her family eats every week without fail, saying they are the same dishes she grew up with.

The Today star, 41, shared her dinner routine and how it’s inspired by her parents, former President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush, in a cover interview with People magazine.

Jenna explained that she likes to keep things simple when dining at home with her husband, Henry Hager, and their three children, Mila, who is ten, Poppy, who is eight, and Hal, who is four.

“We eat turkey tacos one night, sausage and peppers the next, and then we make bowls,” she told the publication.

The mother explained that she likes to keep things simple when dining at home with her husband, Henry Hager, and their three children, Mila, who is ten, Poppy, who is eight, and Hal, who is four.

The former first daughter noted that these are the same meals her working parents served her and her twin sister, Barbara Bush, when they were growing up in Texas.

“This is exactly what I grew up with, where we had the same meals every night,” Jenna said. “What I’m making is not Julia Child, let’s put it that way. I’m not Martha Stewart.’

Set meals keep her from getting stressed about what to feed her family while she’s busy with work.

The Today with Hoda & Jenna co-host also runs her popular book club, Read With Jenna, and has her own production company, Thousand Voices, which she launched last year.

“I try not to put too much pressure on myself for perfection, because I’m nowhere near that,” she said. ‘Perfection is extremely boring to me.’

In the interview, Jenna also reflected on the public criticism she faced as the first daughter and how it taught her resilience.

Jenna and Barbara were seniors at Austin High School in Texas when their Republican father ran against Democrat Al Gore in the 2000 presidential election.

“We were 18 and he knew how much we just wanted to go to college and live a normal life,” she recalls. That was his promise to us: “Don’t worry. You can live a normal life.” Which in the end was not quite true. To be honest, maybe we were all a little naive.’

Jenna said her parents, former President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush, made the same meals for her and her twin sister, Barbara, when they were growing up in Texas.

Jenna, who covers the latest issue of the magazine, explained that she tries not to put herself under pressure by saying she “finds perfection extremely boring.”

When President Bush was sworn in in 2001, she was a freshman at the University of Texas at Austin, while her sister was at their father’s alma mater, Yale University.

Jenna was so focused on her college life that she ignored a call from actress Katie Holmes, who wanted help preparing for her role in the 2004 film First Daughter.

“I was in the library living a normal life as a freshman,” she explained. “I had a feeling she’d be disappointed with whatever she saw.”

Like many college students, the Bush twins were busted in 2001 for underage drinking, but their indiscretions made international headlines.

“The world expected us to be perfect,” she told People. “But our parents didn’t, which is definitely the best blessing they could have ever given us: the freedom to just be ourselves and make mistakes.”

Jenna said she was deeply hurt by the public criticism at the time, but she realized it made her stronger and shaped her into the person she is today.

“There’s something about growing up and having horrible things said about you, making mistakes in public, then being able to bounce back and get some resilience from that that makes me feel like I can live a very joyful life ‘, she said. “Because I don’t care what people say.”
