That very understandable desire has made him home in on recipes that come together quickly, like this recipe for dark chocolate pumpkin bites. The combination of cake mix, pumpkin, and dark chocolate chips, Kimberly says, is his “absolute favorite dad recipe.” Why? “You don’t have to measure a thing.” “The Dad Special” is a celebration of food, family, and fathers who cook. Featuring chefs, celebrities, and kitchen crazy dads, this collection highlights meals — from family secrets to quick kid delights — meant to honor time spent at the table. The straightforwardness, he says, also makes it easy to get kids involved. “You can use a miniature ice cream scoop to pour them and, if your kids are the right age, you can either let them help or tell them that if they squeeze your wrist just right it will make the scoop work.” If you’re looking for a simple dessert that’ll please the kids? This is a great call.
