We’ve all been there—juggling multiple tasks and somehow ending up in a culinary catastrophe. How often have you completely lost track of something in the oven, only to discover you’ve turned a simple meal into an unappetizing disaster? Kate Hudson recently shared one of those moments on Instagram, and it’s a hilarious reminder that we’re all in this parenting journey together.
In her post, Hudson humorously acknowledged her lack of cooking prowess while sharing a “recipe” that certainly isn’t your typical gourmet creation. “I don’t usually share food-related posts, but I’ve been inspired by my friends who flaunt their healthy meals,” she wrote. “So here’s my contribution…enjoy!”
Her “recipe,” inspired by her sister-in-law, Lily Hudson, is one that many moms can relate to, filled with tongue-in-cheek instructions that capture the essence of a #MomFail.
“First, remove the pizza from the box. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Pour yourself a glass of wine. Place the pizza inside. IMPORTANT: Do NOT set a timer. Take a sip of that wine. While the recommended cooking time is about 12 to 14 minutes, I suggest you wait until your kids start asking when dinner will be ready…”
And the key takeaway? “Drink more wine.”
It’s a pizza, after all! We all have those moments of forgetting dinner is in the oven—who hasn’t transformed cookies into charcoal or turned chicken nuggets into something resembling rocks? Just think about what happens when you leave eggs boiling too long. It’s a disaster that can leave lasting emotional scars!
One follower perfectly summed up our collective feelings: “Oh no. At least we know we’re not alone in this!”
