Dads That Cook Proof that real dads use more than the microwave! Real Dads. Real Food. Real Connections. Memories Are Made Over a Home-Cooked Meal Why focus on dads?

My passion is going around the country - and actually traveling around the globe - to find dads that love to cook and make great food for their families and friends. My goal is to learn from these dads and pass on their knowledge to all the other dads (and moms) out there. I think it's time to get more dads in the kitchen and besides, cooking with fellow dads is a blast. I also know cooking for your family has a lot of rewards including connection and love. Growing up, my family would always sit around the dinner table and laugh, argue, tell stories and eat great food. Isn't that what family is all about? Crazy Good Food Brings Family Together! Let's do this!!

🍍 **THIS MIGHT BE THE EASIEST SNACK EVER!**

If you love pineapple, you HAVE to try this.

We’re taking fresh pineapple, slicing it up, and putting it in the oven **LOW & SLOW** until it turns into this sweet, chewy, ridiculously good snack.

It’s basically **nature’s gummy candy.** 😂🍍

No dehydrator needed. No complicated recipe. Just pineapple + your oven + a little patience.

Perfect for road trips, hiking, lunch boxes, or just having a killer snack sitting around the house.

⚠️ Dad Warning: Make more than you think you need. This stuff disappears FAST.

🍕🔥 MacNut Pesto Pizza Night on the ALFA Oven!

Forget boring pizza night. I fired up my ALFA Oven and went a little nuts… MacNut nuts. 😂

Made a fresh Macadamia Nut Pesto and threw together three killer pizzas:

🥩 Ribeye Pizza — juicy ribeye + MacNut pesto = ridiculous.

🥭 Veggie + Mango Pizza — fresh veggies, sweet mango and that nutty pesto. Sounds crazy. Tastes AMAZING.

🍕 Pepperoni Pizza — because sometimes you just don’t mess with a classic… you just make it better.

All three went into the ALFA blazing hot and came out crispy, bubbly, smoky and absolutely crushed.

Which one are you grabbing first — Ribeye, Mango Veggie or Pepperoni? 👇

🌴 WAIT… YOU CAN EAT THAT?!

That big purple flower hanging off the end of your bananas? Yep. That’s a BANANA BLOSSOM—and we’re turning it into one seriously badass salad. 😎

Fresh banana blossom + sweet mango + crunchy veggies + fresh mint and cilantro + roasted peanuts + a salty, sweet, tangy lime dressing.

This thing is FRESH!

🥗 BANANA BLOSSOM SALAD

Salad:
1 fresh banana blossom
1 ripe but firm mango, julienned
1 large carrot, julienned
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cucumber, julienned
2 green onions, sliced
1–2 cups mixed greens
½ cup cilantro
½ cup fresh mint
½ cup roasted peanuts

Dressing:
3 tbsp fish sauce
3 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1–2 tbsp brown sugar or honey
1 tsp sesame oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 small chili, optional 🌶️

Remove the tough outer leaves and thinly slice the tender banana blossom. Soak it in cold water with 2–3 tbsp vinegar for 15–20 minutes, then drain.

Whisk up the dressing, toss everything together, pile it over some greens, hit it with a few more peanuts and herbs, and DIG IN.

Who knew that crazy-looking flower could taste this good?!

🍣 DON’T THROW OUT THAT LEFTOVER SUSHI RICE! 🔥

Got leftover sushi rice sitting in the fridge? Turn it into CRISPY RICE CAKES… IN YOUR WAFFLE IRON! 🤯

Yep—the waffle iron isn’t just for Sunday breakfast anymore.

Take that leftover rice, pack it into the waffle iron, close it down, and let it get golden, crispy, crunchy, and ridiculously delicious. The waffle grooves give you all those crispy edges while the inside stays nice and chewy.

Top it with spicy tuna, avocado, smoked salmon, a fried egg—or just crush it straight out of the waffle iron. 😎

Super simple. Zero waste. Crazy good.

SAVE this one for the next time you’ve got leftover rice—and SHARE it with someone who needs to put their waffle iron to better use! 👊🔥

🍎🍒 APPLE RHUBARB CHERRY COBBLER — THIS ONE IS CRAZY GOOD!

Sweet apples. Tart rhubarb. Juicy dark cherries. A buttery, crispy oat topping. And because we’re not animals… a BIG scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. 😎🍨

This is one of those desserts where you tell yourself, “I’ll just have a little.”

Yeah… good luck with that. 😂

🔥 APPLE RHUBARB CHERRY COBBLER

Serves: 8
Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 30–35 minutes

🍎 FOR THE FILLING:
• 4½ cups chopped rhubarb stems (about 10–12 stems — clean them and remove all leaves)
• ¼ cup packed brown sugar
• 3 Fuji apples, peeled, cored & cubed
• 1½ cups frozen dark cherries, softened & roughly chopped
• Zest of 1 orange
• Juice of 2 oranges

🔥 FOR THE COBBLER TOPPING:
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup flour (I use Cup4Cup gluten-free flour)
• ¾ cup packed brown sugar
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• Pinch of salt
• Vanilla ice cream for serving

👨‍🍳 LET’S COOK!

1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 375°F.

2️⃣ Add all the filling ingredients to a large bowl and mix well. Spread everything into a 12” x 8” baking pan.

3️⃣ In another bowl, combine all the topping ingredients. Stir until the flour is incorporated and you’ve got a coarse, crumbly mixture.

4️⃣ Spoon that goodness evenly over the fruit.

5️⃣ Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the rhubarb is tender and that topping is beautifully golden brown.

6️⃣ Let it rest for about 5 minutes, then scoop it into bowls while it’s still warm.

And here’s the important part…

🍨 DON’T FORGET THE VANILLA ICE CREAM!

That warm apple-rhubarb-cherry filling + crispy topping + melting vanilla ice cream = GAME OVER.
