Men Are Cooking More Than Ever

In case you haven't noticed, guys are cooking more than ever. I know my husband is quite talented in the kitchen and I am grateful I get a break a couple of times a week.

What has caused this trend? Well, according to Men's Health, you can thank the Food Network. A large chunk of the men asked why they cook said the Food Network got them into it and they could "throw down" with Bobby Flay.

Sounds like guys not only are into cooking, but they think they're better than they really are! You see, those same guys think they can cook better than Mom.
