So today is Men Make Dinner Day. Now, this is a day I can totally get behind. Seriously, this fun non-holiday was created to get Men into the kitchen.
Men Make Dinner Day
Since I do the majority of the cooking; it would be nice to have a day off from making dinner. First and foremost, if you’re a man who loves to cook, you’re all set. This day isn’t for you.
However, on the other hand if you’re a man who doesn’t know your way around the kitchen; now is the time to begin.
For any man, today is the chance to show off your culinary skills. Or, not – just don’t burn down the house.
Celebrate National Men Make Dinner Day
In the first place, this non-holiday started in 1998 by Sandy Sharkey. Her reason for beginning this day was to get one meal a year created by her non-cooking husband. In fact, she even received a Canadian trademark name and date.
Because the purpose of this day is mainly to get Men who don’t cook – cooking. And, that doesn’t mean cheating by preparing a frozen dinner or reheating leftovers.

Men Make Dinner Day Rules
Yes, there are actual rules surrounding this day!
So, if you’re a guy who cooks regularly, today isn’t for you. Aah – I’m out of luck! My hubby knows how to cook; but usually getting him to make me something is tricky, however I did have luck recently.
- Indeed, cooking for your significant other will give you bonus points.
- Are there other Men in your network who usually don’t cook? Well, than today can be part of a yearly tradition for you and your Male squad.
- Because you’re cooking, you’re in charge.
- Whatever you want to make, the choice is your’s.
- Make sure you know where all of your kitchen appliances are.
- And, if you want to have fun you can wear an apron with nothing on underneath. Or, you can add kitchen tools to your tool belt.
- Finally, your recipe can include beer. Be creative!
No doubt, today can be the start of a yearly tradition for you and your significant other. Or, it could be a day that disaster strikes. Hopefully, nothing will be burnt.
As always, I welcome your comments.
