Why Cool Dads Cook?

Let's face it: the picture of what the American family "looks like" is changing dramatically. More mothers are going back to work, and more fathers are making the decision to become Stay at Home Dads (SAHDs). And it's not quite all Michael Keaton made it out to be in Mr. Mom. In fact, there's a good chance if you were to call a SAHD "Mr. Mom", he's going to punch you in the throat.

After all- he's not a Mom- he's a Dad. And that's pretty awesome. Let's take a minute to tip our caps to all the awesome SAHDs out there. You know who you are... you play My Little Pony and High Ho Cherry Oh for hours on end; you tirelessly walk around the zoo and museums; potty training has driven you to the brink of insanity and back again and you can sing both the Dora and Diego theme songs with a kick-ass Spanish accent.

But I digress. Being a SAHD usually means more than just childcare. It means cleaning, laundry and yes... cooking. Which is where we come in.

Who are Cool Dads?

Cool Dads Cook is composed of two couples- one based in Arkansas and one in Wisconsin- who have multiple things in common- but the biggest one being they both have SAHDs that LOVE to cook, and are passionate about making tasty, easy food for their families to enjoy.

After a cross-country text messaging marathon; we thought there might be more dads out there looking for some help in the kitchen. We want to be that help. We want to provide you with delicious easy recipes your kids are going to actually eat; and your wife is going to be impressed with. We're here to make you look damn good.

So we hope you love our blog. We hope you visit it often, and it provides you with culinary inspiration. Whether you're a SAHD or a SAHM; cooking delicious food is one of the most important ways you show your family you love them. Stay tuned for some recipes and pictures; and we look forward to some adventures in both your kitchens and ours.

Stay Cool,
The Cool Dads Cook Crew
