I quit my job 3.5 years ago to be a stay at home dad, but even before then I did all the cooking. I love to cook.

Some things I like making are eggpland parm, tacos, various soups in crockpots ( great for days the kids have activities), broiled pork chops, vegetable ziti. I grill a ton in the summer, steaks, fish, chicken eggplant, asparagus, burger, and dogs. I also have an air fryer that I love and an insta pot I experiment with. That is just a small sample. I would do a lot more but I try and stick with things my kids will eat.

I also make my wife and I breakfast every day. Usually scrambled eggs with a variety of veggies. Spinach, mushrooms, peppers, onions, tomatoes. I have a recipe for homemade bagels which are awesome, but a bit labor intensive. I do awesome breakfast potatoes in the air fryer. I'll often make waffles or pancakes for the kids. Sometimes I'll do a sweet potato hash with fried egg on top.

Cooking is easy and really fun. I throw some music on alexa, grab a beer and get to work. I enjoy it immensely.

This. It is not that my wife cannot cook. She is a great cook. The main reason I am the primary cook in the family is that I work from home most of the time. But even when we both worked outside the home, I would say with it was at least 60/40 with me doing the majority because it is something I absolutely enjoy doing.
