I, too am a stay at home Dad, only, in my case, retirement is the reason. I cook and garden, too (tomato crop terrible this year, but herbs, greens and eggplant doing well). Future college prof? Been there, done that, got the scars. Pretty easy to get a part-time gig in some areas of study, but anything beyond that requires a PhD at most schools. (your experience may vary, depending on your specialty.) Welcome back.
