How often do you cook?

BabyCarryingVessel · August 2013

Because I'm bored (and curious)... How often do you cook? Are you a good cook? Does your SO cook a lot?

DH does pretty much all the cooking

Before the girls, I'd whip something up most nights for supper... Now, I'd rather eat weird random crap than fix supper. Luckily, my man has been picking up the slack.

Cooking is the last thing on my mind. Most nights I would rather not eat than cook. I eat a big lunch and just nibble for supper. We're so freaking busy at night.

I enjoy cooking and I think I am a fairly good cook. I like trying new recipes I think I cook dinner 4-5x a week and we usually go out to eat with or at our families on the weekends.

I don't like to cook. If I can I get h to grill or cook. Plus h works nights so we don't always eat together so I don't like to cook when its only me. I usually try to find something to make that doesn't take much effort.

I hate cooking but love home cooked meals. My husband does most of the cooking since he is a SAHD. He isn't very imaginative though so we eat a lot of hamburgers and chicken. I can't complain since he is the one doing all the work.

DH cooks most of the time. I'll cook here and there though. Maybe once every week or 2 weeks. He's great in the kitchen though.

I am jealous of these husbands that cook, my husbands definition of cooking is mac and cheese and toast.

stephcarter · August 2013

@chricast that's my definition of cooking!!

I eat like a kid...

Dh loves to cook. He likes theme meals fancy sandwiches. He once made a sandwich that took 24 hours from start to finish. Before we ate family meals -when ds1 was about 2 we would not eat to 9 at night so he could cook it up.
His food is very yummy. I'm more if an efficiency cook fast, easy, and few dishes. He tries to be quicker so we can eat at a reasonable time. Still pretty yummy though.

I do most of the cooking. We are not home for breakfast and lunch during the week so those are easy but I usually cook dinner every night and then breakfast and lunch on the weekends.. My husband has started cooking more since baby arrived but he takes sp long to cook something I i usually finish what he started. Im super jealous :)of all the husbands that cook!

I love to cook and before LO, I used to cook about 4-5x/week. Now, I'm lucky if I get to prepare a full meal once every 2 weeks. Most nights it's something simple (sandwiches, spaghetti w jarred sauce, etc). I miss it!

H cooks 60% of the time, 20% eating out, 20% I cook.

I used to cook more, but he stands over my shoulder and tells me what I'm doing wrong...so I stopped.

This is the reason I refuse to cook if DH is home. He does the same thing!

I would say 3-4x a week...on the weekends DH grills, which gives me a break! Other times, we order, and maybe every other week we go out.

I cook every single meal, every single day, almost always from scratch. For b'fast, we have homemade granola (I bake one batch every 2 wks). For lunch, DH brown bags chicken sandwich (I bake the chicken breasts for him). I SAH so I fix myself an egg sandwich for lunch. For dinner, I cook 7 nights a week. DH doesn't get home until 6:30pm so it is pointless for him to cook when it's that late. On weekends, I still cook all the lunches and dinners.

We go out for lunch maybe once a month at most?

I'd like a break some time, but I don't like take-out options around here, and I don't like pre-made foods (too much salt, too much additives etc).

I cook pretty much every night except a couple nights a month. I don't mind. I taught myself how to cook a few years ago and I have gotten really good. We barely repeat a meal because I get bored and I like to try new things. The hubs hardly ever cooks but we have made a deal for him to cook a couple times a month to give me a break. We hardly ever eat processed foods. We aren't super healthy or do the organic thing but I noticed that we both feel better when I cook everything from scratch and we eat healthy. I even make pizza from scratch with an awesome pizza crust and sauce recipe I found. I like cooking for the most part (I do prefer baking though).

every meal, every day, here...I really enjoy cooking. learned to cook very young and started to experiment with my mother's recipes. And then food network came along and I pretty much went crazy in the kitchen.

I remember one night when I was young, maybe 14-15, my parents went to a wedding and they left my sisters and I at home. Our Gma lives very close by, and we were all old enough, so no big deal. Well, I thought it would be a good idea to make rice balls that night...since no one was going to be in my way in the kitchen. I rounded up my little sous chefs (my sisters) and we did it...I made soooo many. When they came home the whole house smelled like fried rice balls, but my mother couldn't be upset...she had enough to feed an army! :P
