I’ve been adding a line about the people behind the food (‘please bless every working hand that made this meal possible’).

If you want to read more about the practice, Ann Voskamp’s One Thousand Gifts has a chapter on this gratitude.

My mom’s Catholic and I’ve adopted her mealtime prayer. It has the ‘In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit’ at the start and end… In the middle it’s gratitude for the food and each other, plus asking God to help those who have less and our friends and family in need.

Not sure how Orthodox it is, since I adapted it from hers.
