My wife does most of the cooking. I never really learned to cook, but I'm doing better now. Since I retired, we eat out more.

On average I would say that I cook about 5 times a week.  The other 2 days we generally have leftovers.  I could cook 7 days a week and not complain cause I really enjoy cooking.   :heart:   :)

I tend to not cook too often - when I do eat at home, it's mostly frozen or prepared meals.

When my husband was alive, we use to go to alot of buffets cuz we both were always busy. Then I got into ordering delivery my dark days w/out my husband. Now, I cook 5-7 days week, trying to get healthier to save money & have to see the doc. tomorrow to review my bp compared to the last visit. Scared, hate going to the doctor.Wish me luck! :'(

I don't like to cook.  But my hubby loves it so he usually does all the cooking. Maybe he cooks about 3-4 night as a week.

My husband does the majority of the cooking.  I help him sometimes and I cook for myself on the weekends when he is working.

I am married to the man who always likes to eat, and eat he does.  I do most of the cooking.  He loves his yams (sweet potatoes) and I may get lucky where he cooks sometimes.  I wonder sometimes whether he thinks we are living high on the hog.  He will call me up and ask me what we are going to eat for dinner.  I baked some pork chops Sunday; I use Mrs. Dash seasoning and cut up onions over them, so there was a good aroma in the house. He polished off the last two pork chops last night with his yams.  He wanted some of my star corn bread; I bake them in those little pans you put tortillas in and they come out in the shape of a six-pointed star.  He has a healthy appetite; he comes from a family of 13 children. ??? :o ???

I cook almost every day. We could never afford to eat out that often. I have to admit that even when we're on vacation after a few days we're tired of eating out. Home cooked meals are so much better and healthier. I also make our own cookies so we don't buy store cookies with all kinds of unrecognizable ingredients in them. But I'm retired now so I have more time. I always cooked our main meals at home but didn't have time to make cookies. My husband used to joke that if I was making a desert it was for someone else when I worked.

I cook everyday unless we have the money to treat ourselves. I enjoy it and I've recently started making 30 day menus.

I usually cook at least six meals a week.  I work through the day so my husband is on his own for breakfast and lunch so he expects me to cook dinner.

I cook maybe twice a week, it is just my husband and I during the week and the kids come over every other Sunday and we cook a big meal.

That's about the same for me, I cook about five times a week or more.  I think it depends on what's going on during the week, but for the most part, I love cooking for my husband and kids so they all are getting nutritional meals and not a lot of carry out food.

I cook most of our meals as long as we are home. We only eat out when we go out of town. My husband is always have high blood pressure and most of the foods out are salty. We dont use salt at home.

We always cook.  We usually cook in bulk so that we have left overs.  We only cook using organic, non-gmo foods.  We rarely eat out because we do not know what is in the food.

I usually cook once serve twice. Cook for hubby and meals for dad. We like leftovers.  About 3-4 times a month will get something out of freezer look at Hubby and say it is your turn, jumps up and cooks always out on the grill because i don't like for him to cook in the house. He only knows high and fast. But i like my food cooked through and not burnt. Works out ok.

I cook about 5 - 6 times a week. I try to come up with different recipes. It is hard to do sometimes since my husband is not an adventurous eater. He does not like seafood or veggies. So sometimes we have an "everyone for themselves night" . That way  we each get to eat what we like.

I cook whenever someone holds a gun to my head.  Most of the time, I prefer cleaning with someone else putting meals together.   :heart:

I didn't use to cook very often, because most of the time what I was making didn't require much "cooking". Lately though, that's all I've had is something frozen (mainly meat) that required some sort of cooking, and since that's all there was available to eat then I had to cook or go without. I generally don't like cooking either, but sometimes I'm okay with it.
