Fun question: Who cooks & how often?

Also does your husband ever cook?

I know basic stuff but I'm trying to be creative. I 'experiment' about 3 days a week.

He NEVER cooks. I cook about 4-5 nights a week, if you count leftovers too. The other nights are take-out or restaurants. He can make food go from raw to cooked, but with no seasoning or anything. I don't call that cooking. He CAN grill though. I don't mind cooking, b/c he washes the dishes after. I hate washing dishes!

Re: Fun question: Who cooks & how often?

we share the cooking, though I tend to do it more often since he works late. We enjoy cooking together alot. Pumpkin ravioli is our latest specialty. We probably cook 3-4 times a week and either eat leftovers or go out the rest of the time.

See the question of the day on household chores for some more answers. A lot of us mention who does the cooking there...

Re: Fun question: Who cooks & how often?

We work different times, so we are not home alot together for dinner. I usually cook something big or a couple of different things on the weekend and we eat the leftovers during the week. We also keep chiken cutlet in the fridge and cook it on the George Forman grill a lot (we both love that thing). He very rarely cooks. Once in a while he will make chicken cutlet parm, and he does the bbqing

We are only home for dinner together 3 or 4 nights a week, and when we are, we take turns cooking, or (my favorite!) go out.

I do most of the cooking but hubby loves to help when he is around. I love to cook and I always try new recipies and try to be creative. That is why I want to be a chef.

Re: Fun question: Who cooks & how often?

I cook for the most part 4-5 days a week depending on my work schedule. Not everyday is a gourmet meal but usually some kind of meat and a veggie. (DH doesn't like to eat rice, pasta, potatoes, etc on weekdays- - part of him staying healthy - he will eat as much meat or veggies I can cook though!) Fridays and Saturdays we go out or order in.

DH knows how to cook most basic things (chicken cutlets, steak, etc) but gets home too late to cook for us (after nine). He is lazy - he likes to make quick food and cook only in the toaster oven. I said if he cooked we' eat turkey or beans and cheese in a wrap everyday. If he has a day off, sometimes he surprises me with a gourmet meal.

I love cooking so I do most of the cooking in my house. My husband surprises me every now and again, but cooking is not his thing.

I usually cook every other day, and we have sunday dinners with the works.

I do the cooking at our house.
DH can cook, very well I might add!
But he works and I don't so, tag, I'm it!!
When we both worked, whoever got home first made dinner.
I swear he drove around the block untill I got home!!
I love cooking so it's no problem.
I use this web sight for recipe and ideas

I love to cook and bake. You can get lots of ideas on www.foodtv.com
There are tons of sites to give you ideas.
Also, go to the library and take out cook books. You can photocopy the ones you like.

Re: Fun question: Who cooks & how often?

We both cook. I get home so late though during the week so its got to be something quick.A lot of times my husband will cook because he gets home first.

The quick & easy weekday meals we both do, depends on our moods. I mostly do the bigger more elaborate meals but DH helps when I let him (we have a small kitchen)

Re: Fun question: Who cooks & how often?

That's easy, me all of the time!!! DH cooks omelets once in a while on the weekends, but that's no help to me, since I'm allergic to eggs!!
I love my hubby, but I think in the 5 years we've been together he's cooked me dinner 1x, before we lived together, he invited me over to his apt and cooked 1 night. I hope he at least feeds the kids!

Re: Fun question: Who cooks & how often?

I eat practically no meat...so DH and I have different dinners almost every night...

Also I am the one working, so we each make our own dinner...when he was working I would cook him dinner (with meat)

not sure if this will be a permanant thing...but it is working for the time being...we were both raised with the 'fend for yourself' philosophy

Re: Fun question: Who cooks & how often?

I'm an amateur cook and so is my husband. We both try though and if you saw us you would say we are well fed lol.

p.s. basic recipes welcome (under 30 minutes)

Let's just say, if I don't cook something, we don't eat!
