Do you cook dinner everyday?

So, do you cook dinner everyday? I dont mean simple things like a sandwhich or anything. Do you cook a nice warm meal each night? If not, how many times a week would you say you do?

I honestly hate cooking dinner. Not because I dont want to but because I have no clue what to make. So because of that I dont cook lol. I probably cook maybe twice a week, if that. Usually its simple things we eat like sandwhiches, soup or something fried..

Re: Do you cook dinner everyday?

I used to cook every night during the week except weekends. I would make everything from scratch, too, never anything boxed or premade all while working full time. But the older I get, the harder it is! So now, maybe 2 nights a week I cook, but I will short cut it every nowand then with some pre-made items that I can pop in the microwave like frozen rice. I love to cook, just don't have much energy anymore to do it all week.

Re: Do you cook dinner everyday?

I cook every night, or we have leftovers from the previous night. At the very least, DH and I would have leftovers and I would make the kids breakfast for dinner or something like that (eggs and toast, french toast, etc.) We order in maybe once a month?? Sometimes less.

Re: Do you cook dinner everyday?

Nope. I just don't have the creativeness to come up with a nice meal every night. For example last night i made chicken wraps and soup. We eat out about once a week as well.

Re: Do you cook dinner everyday?

if DH and I are home together, then yes.. I make dinner every night. Since it varies, based on his hours, it averages out to maybe 3 nights a week. Once a week we eat out or meet up with the parents and they usually send us food as well. But I love to cook.

Re: Do you cook dinner everyday?

I cook probably 6 out of the 7 days. We dont really do leftovers because I'm not a fan. I love cooking though so I never mind.

Almost every night. I usually have one night off and/or one night at someone else's home.

Re: Do you cook dinner everyday?

I try to; considering that DH doesn't cook at all, it gets very difficult sometimes with work and running errands after work.

I try to make things that we can have at least twice. AND try to make things that DH can assist with putting together and not actually cook.

We usually eat out one day on the weekend.

Re: Do you cook dinner everyday?

I prefer homemade food, i would love to cook everynight, but usually 2 nights i make enough so that we can atleat eat leftovers. If I was home or worked part time I would definitely make a fresh meal every night!

I do love homemade mac and cheese, and other side dishes, but if we are rushed after work I don't mind a box of rice a roni or velveeta sometimes!

Re: Do you cook dinner everyday?

I'd say probably the same- twice a week. Definitely on the weekends and maybe once during the week. Otherwise we do simple things like sandwiches, soup, grilled chicken, fried chicken, burgers, order pizza, etc.

I cook at least 6 nights a week. Sometimes we will do leftovers or one night I will be lazy and let the kids pick whatever they want.

Re: Do you cook dinner everyday?

maybe 3 nights a week. I come home at 8pm most nights. No time to cook really and we eat late which is no good.

Sometimes I'll use pre-made turkey meatballs with pasta, peas and sauce or "cheat" with a store made rotisserie chicken..good and quick.

weekends are different. I love to cook though and wish I had more time to do it.

Yep, every night unless we're having leftovers. During the week it's mostly simple stuff -- something I can pull together in an hour or less -- since I don't have a lot of time.

I'm obsessed with cooking and food, so almost everything we eat is homemade -- breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert.

Re: Do you cook dinner everyday?

On weeknights, yes. But a lot of the time I'll make something big that we can eat for two or three days. This week I made a mexican lasagna and we ate it Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Luckily we don't get tired of things easily!
