Why I Cooked a Disaster Dinner for My Parents (And Why It Mattered) 🍝

You ever try to thank your parents and end up setting off the smoke alarm instead? That was me last Sunday. I wanted to show Mom and Dad how much I appreciate them, so I decided to cook dinner. Spoiler: my lasagna looked like a crime scene. But you know what? They loved it. We laughed, swapped stories about their wild college days, and I realized—parents don’t care about perfection. They just want your time, your effort, and a little peek into your life. Sometimes, the best way to say “I love you” is with a burnt casserole and a hug.
