Grab your whisks and spatulas, guys - today is National Men Make Dinner Day

Hurry, guys, start thinking of something healthy you can whip up for a meal tonight, because today is National Men Make Dinner Day. This great day is not intended for all you men out there who already cook. It's for those who never do, those who might be afraid of the kitchen, those who typically enjoy the fruits of someone else's labor.

I know I haven't given you much notice to plan your attack but sometimes, it's best to work under pressure. So here's your mission: Hunt down a recipe (if you're stuck on this one, ask a friend, a trusted colleague, your mom), jot down what you need to make your meal come together, pick up your ingredients at the supermarket on your way home from work (if you're already home, head out now), and go straight home and start preparing your masterpiece.

Here's my advice: Make it simple, and make it healthy. Perhaps a recipe isn't even necessary. How about grilling some chicken and serving with a side of steamed veggies, some whole grain bread, and maybe a salad with no dressing but some juicy fruit, like pineapple or grapes? Pour some sparkling water, finish with a small piece of dark chocolate, and a healthy meal you'll have. Give it whirl, why don't you? And let us know how it goes. And hey, if things don't work out for today, there's always tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day.
