Post by: bigedshult on March 05, 2015, 02:38:56 pm: Depends on what you call cooking there's fast food cooking like us want to TV dinners under there is cooking for meal and then there's warming things up from different different sources. I usually like to cook Ramen noodles and simple things like that myself goes on only one person but I have cooked chicken noodles make chicken noodles soup with one my son gets home so I thought my house and line need to. So I enjoy cooking just as nobody article for snow fun cooking just for yourself I don't think.

Post by: Penwoir on March 05, 2015, 03:06:47 pm: I am just like you. I cook for most days of the week and then every now and again, my husband will cook. I like to experiment with new cuts of meat and unusual ingredients (the other day I used lemongrass for the first time), and on some occasions the dishes come out wonderfully tasty, and then sometimes they don't. About once a week we all go out to dinner as a family so that nobody slaves away in the kitchen and we can all talk in a civilized fashion around the dinner table.

Post by: braggin on March 06, 2015, 06:59:41 am: My husband does all the cooking and all the food shopping and boy, does that take a lot of stress off me! He says he wants to pay me back for all the years I raised our kids when they are little. He also does laundry, puts dishes away after they've been washed in the dishwasher, and takes out the garbage too. I have it good.

Title: Re: how often do you cook
Post by: sarahlee on March 08, 2015, 09:54:54 am: I don't cook a whole lot. It's not that I don't know how-- it's just that I seem too tired after work and then I'm lazy on my days off with running errands and doing FC website. I have a lot of tv dinners and canned stuff on hand. Even the packaged food in the deli section is very good. Some people like home cooked meals way better. Well to each their own i say.
Title: Re: how often do you cook
Post by: vickysue on March 08, 2015, 02:09:37 pm: I do most of the coking. But now with summer coming on hubby is going to start doing his share. He cooks out on the grill a lot. Sometimes he burns it or it might not be quite done for my taste. But that's ok at least it is not all on my shoulders. Although I do all of the clean up. Just because I don't like the way he does it.

On the weekend I'll pick up a couple sub sandwiches for a change, and occasionally I'll pick up a pizza or stop by a Chipotle for a burrito. But mostly it's home cooked food for me.

Title: Re: how often do you cook
Post by: debidoo on March 12, 2015, 08:55:44 am: My sons do most of the cooking - they did share it but now my younger son is working so he only cooks on his days off. I cook most if not all the fresh vegetables we eat because I hate canned vegetables and I bake sweet potato's when we have them but I don't do much cooking. Am in Afib so I run out of steam quickly doing much of anything. However now that we have more income from son working we have started eating out once a week also.
Title: Re: how often do you cook
Post by: bowrunner on March 12, 2015, 09:40:53 am: I do all of the cooking as I live alone. I usually cook enough to last several days so I just have to reheat quite a bit.
I'm going to cook a small pork roast today and some hamburger patties so I'll have enough to last for several days with some macaroni and cheese or potatoes and vegetables.
Title: Re: how often do you cook
Post by: jcalexis on March 12, 2015, 01:29:58 pm: I cook two or three times a week. I don't like to eat out a lot after watching on television how someone urinated in someone's else coffee. I prefer to stay home and cook for my family.
Title: Re: how often do you cook
Post by: shepherdchik on March 12, 2015, 03:59:25 pm: I wish I cooked more often myself. My mom usually has something made by the time I get home since she gets home first. I love to cook though and can't wait to have a place of my own and someone to cook for!

Title: Re: how often do you cook
Post by: patapon555 on April 03, 2015, 07:45:10 am: I basically cook for every single meal. I hate going out to eat because I feel like it's a waste a money when I can just cook for way cheaper
Title: Re: how often do you cook
Post by: makeblessed on April 03, 2015, 07:54:31 am: Not very often my husband is a much better cook, so does most of it I would say 95% him 5% me.
Title: Re: how often do you cook
Post by: taethowen on April 03, 2015, 07:54:45 am: I cook 95% of our food from scratch - it's cheaper, and healthier. I'm also vastly expanding my garden this year so I have more fresh produce to work with.

Can't afford to eat 'out' (usually it involves pizza being delivered, lol) more than 1-2 times a month, if that. I make a pretty decent homemade pizza, though, so when I make that for a meal I'll just make an extra one to shove in the freezer for when I need something easy to cook but can't order in or go out.
Title: Re: how often do you cook
Post by: colbtrist on April 24, 2015, 06:49:09 am: I say I cook 5 days a week. I get sick of my own cooking. I like to eat anything that someone else cooked.

Title: Re: how often do you cook
Post by: sdenimandlace1 on April 24, 2015, 09:20:10 am: We cook at least one meal everyday, sometime all three. I try to have leftovers for part of it.
Title: Re: how often do you cook
Post by: bowrunner on April 24, 2015, 09:54:33 am: I don't cook every day because I live by myself so when I make something, it lasts awhile and I just have to reheat it. I try to have at least 2 things in the refrigerator to eat so I don't have to eat the same thing every day. About once every week or so I will have a TV dinner or pot pie.

We both get home from work around suppertime and find it hard to organize, prep, and cook without eating late. It's time to look up some very quick recipes, I guess!

Title: Re: how often do you cook
Post by: vickysue on April 30, 2015, 02:36:30 pm: I cook almost every day. I will admit we have left overs quite a bit. But like tonight I will take some of the pork from the roasted pork I cooked last night and will freeze it for another time. there is just two of us and I do not know how to cook for just 2 and not have leftovers. But in a few days I will use the pork I put in the freezer will have some chow mein and later we will have some pork cooked with posole and green chile. I never lose any meat by doing things like this and we have a lot of different meals. As mother used to say about leftovers it is iceboxa time.
