I hate to cook and get easily overheated, so i eat out frequently (which costs too much and is unhealthy for the most part...sigh)

We eat in most days but I wouldn't really call what I've been doing cooking.....lol.
2 meals a day at work.... not much fun.

I ate out tonight - dinner and a show.  I grilled a steak and ate it on the patio while watching the hummingbirds squabble over the feeder.  ;D 8)

We eat out at least 3 times a week!  But I would much rather cook at home!  My husband always wants to go out since he retired; I think he gets bored staying at home while I work!

Love the dinner and a show comment about grilling out and watching the hummingbirds squabble. Too funny!

Another option is carry home, my wife went shopping yesterday and didn't want to come home and cook, so she brought home a rotisserie chicken and added a salad from a bag and some frozen hash browns for a no cook dinner.

I cook most of the time. We do do take out about once every two weeks. We eat out a couple of times a week. I consider that a treat because then I don't have to plan a meal.

I love to eat at home, cause it is healthier (usually), cheaper (usually) and I know how much I am going to tip the person who brings me my food (always).

Since Sunday is Father's Day, I guess I will cook dinner.  However, that being said, my husband took me out to dinner on Mother's Day at my expense, so I may do that.  It may not be too bad but, in my case, it sucks big time when Father's Day and my husband's 53rd birthday are back to back (his birthday is on the 17th). :heart: :heart: :heart: :thumbsup: :wave:

I cook most weeknights, depending on my schedule, there are days that is better to get something for carryout that wait until I am able to finish dinner (too late), but most weekdays is cooking time.  Weekends it really all depends, Saturdays 90% of the times we eat on the road since are out doing errands all day.  Sundays most of the times I make a nice, nice dinner, meaning something out of the ordinary and that takes time and inspiration.  Others we just eat out.

Whenever I have time I'll cook otherwise if I'm busy I'll go out or takeout for dinner.

Cook every day but one day a month we meet family members and friends at a restaurant and eat out more for the social aspect of it but I do appreciate the break from cooking.

I usually cook at home. We like to eat leftovers. Sometimes in the summer i cook so that we only eat cold foods, it is so hot here. I also do all my cooking earl in the mornings to beat the heat. Once in a while we eat out. Hubby grills a lot too. My birthday is in may along with mothers day and memorial day. 2 out of three is great then memorial day which is hard. But can't have it all But then i get to eat out three times. Because it is a 90 mile one-way trip for memorial day. So can't grip too much.

I love eating out, but we rarely eat out anymore or even order in. If we get something from a restaurant it's usually fast food that we can take home and eat. So cooked food is what we normally eat.

We cook at home most of the time. But when we are out grocery shopping picking up meds, etc, at least for lunch I try to do a different place each time. This is usually once to twice a week. Now we are getting to know a few of the restaurants in the area, and some we will plan on going to later on for Dinner.

I mostly cook and eat at home.  My budget these days doesn't allow for much eating out.  Fast food a few times a month, a sit-down meal in a restaurant once every few weeks.  Luckily, I have time right now to make my own meals at home.

I cook dinner practically every night. We rarely eat out anymore. Trying to save some money so we can get a house later this year! Every once we will splurge and order pizza or Chinese but that's about it.

I try to cook as often as I can but don't always have the time ... frozen dinners and pizza are always my easy options.

We try to make it out at least once a month. We live rural so it is about 15-20 miles to the closest Rest.

I usually cook 7 times a week unless I am out of state. We don't usually eat out because I have a family of 5 and every time we eat out, two and a half hours later, We're hungry again. We like to eat at home because we eat a lot which is a habit that we are trying to overcome. Now just typing this makes me hungry again! LOL

I do most cookie around our house I was so I enjoy going out taking the wife out to dinner or lunch. One of the biggest reasons I like going out is I don't have clean up the mess after I cook. I like cooking I but I don't like cleaning up after words. So I take her out the budget I can express point

I love going out to dinner, but I do cook usually 6 nights and then we go out once a week.  I think the worst thing about cooking, at least for me is trying to decide what to cook.

Post by: yen1207 on June 20, 2013, 01:55:43 pm
I try to not eat-out a lot cause it costs too much and we're always over budget for spending.

Both, I usually cook at home and sometimes I like to go out to eat whenever I just feel like having something different.  :)
