November 5 - National Men Make Dinner Day

Happy National Men Make Dinner Day! On the first Thursday in November, today places the man of the house in charge of the kitchen and the evening’s meal.  

Some men like to cook and do so on a regular basis. To those men, kudos to you! You can submit your favorite recipe on the National Men Make Dinner website.

Today was created for the men who do not know their way around the kitchen and are not familiar with cooking appliances, as well as for the women in their lives who need a break. 

Men need to be aware that there is a list of rules that must be followed, some of which include: 

• • The main meal must include a minimum of 4 ingredients and require at least one cooking utensil other than a fork. 

  • The man goes shopping for all the necessary ingredients. 
• • Clean up as you go. 
• • Aprons are optional. 

For a list of complete rules, see the above-mentioned website. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

Have the men in the house prepare a meal and use #MenMakeDinnerDay to post on social media.
