You know that feeling when you’re juggling a million tasks at once, and cooking just happens to be one of them? How often have you inadvertently left something in the oven too long, resulting in a culinary disaster? Kate Thompson recently took to Instagram to share a relatable moment that many moms can identify with, and it’s a far cry from the usual glossy food images you see on social media.
“I don’t typically post about food, but I was inspired by my fellow mom friends showcasing their delicious, homemade recipes,” Kate captioned her post. “So here it is… enjoy!”
She then hilariously laid out a “recipe” that speaks to the heart of every busy mom, one that comes courtesy of her sister-in-law, Lisa Johnson. The steps are comically straightforward yet oh-so-relatable:
- Take the pizza out of the box.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Pour yourself a glass of wine.
- Place the pizza in the oven.
- DO NOT set a timer.
- Sip your wine while waiting.
- The recommended cooking time is 12 to 14 minutes, but I suggest waiting a solid hour for that perfect, deep brown finish.
- Or until your hungry kids come asking when dinner will be ready…
- Most importantly, drink more wine.
And voilà, you have a “masterpiece” that just might resemble a charred pizza.
Yes, this is indeed a #momfail that resonates with so many of us. Who hasn’t burned cookies into oblivion, turned chicken nuggets into hockey pucks, or forgotten about boiling water? Just think about what happens to eggs left unattended—it’s a sight you won’t soon forget!
One commenter perfectly summed up the collective experience: “Oh no! At least we’re not alone in this!”
