Life with Dudes Never Looked So Pretty
My family loves seafood. So much so that each year, all three of my children ask to celebrate their birthdays at seafood restaurants. They enjoy it that much. Everything from crab legs to real sushi will be enthusiastically introduced to their bellies if given the chance. Sadly, I do not excel in the preparation of seafood dishes. I can do some fried catfish and shrimp
DudeDad is not a very adventurous eater. He likes bacon burgers and, um, burgers, with bacon on them mostly. To be fair though, he has come a long way in our years together. He now eats all kinds of seafood, lots of different soul food, quinoa, couscous and a ton of other hard to pronounce items he definitely didn’t grow up with a taste for.
Heeeeey, hungry people. This cooking thing is getting a little contagious! I can’t say that I am able to consistently dedicate myself to more than one from scratch, delectable meal a week, but I can say that this family of mine can officially count on that. When I am home.

This week’s food win is making me a lump of mess on my couch right now. My belly is soooo full.

I love pie. Love. Love. LOVE pie. But, I don’t like making pie. Too much work to do it right. It’s all about the crust and you can’t just roll it out of a box and expect that to be the real deal. So, it is rare that I invest the time and effort into pie creation, I just don’t have it in my life
I’ve never liked BBQ sauce. Call me crazy but it’s just not my jam. For years I thought I just didn’t like ribs, but I finally had some dry rubbed ones at my parents’ house and realized that ribs are amazing! It’s just the icky BBQ sauce that made them kinda, um, icky. I’ve been making them for us with this rib rub recipe ever
Don’t worry, I’m not about to try to convince you to stop eating cookies. I want you to be happy, and I think we’ve come to the conclusion that you, me, and all of my friends NEED cookies in our lives. via GIPHY But, for those who have been a member of the DudeMom community for quite some time, you may note that this
You guys know how much I love gift giving. Every year I make something tasty with my kids for my neighbor friends. Usually it’s cookies, because Christmas and cookies go together like Santa and his elves. This year, we skipped the chocolate chip standards and went with these tasty eggnog frosted gingerbread cookies that we started making last Christmas (click the recipe, you will NOT
