Spinoff to menus post W/POLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How often do you make dinner in a typical week???? Just curious!!!!

i try to cook dinner about 4-5 days a week

About 4x
Thursday we eat with my family
one day a week we eat with the inlaws ( usually Friday ) and then other days
I order in once a week

I always try to stretch leftovers but it never works bc DH comes home for lunch a lot and eats the dinner from the night before.

i usually do it every day but i voted for the 6 day shift. Its really time consuming but I try to make meals for our lunches and dinners for two days (so two very diff dishes using the same ingredients).

I make dinner about 4-5x a week

I'd say 4-5. I almost always cook Mon-Thurs.
Friday is usually takeout or I'll cook something simple. Saturday we try to eat out or we have a party or something.
Sunday's we usually try to see the parents, but if not I'll cook something.

Luckily, I like to cook and try new recipes.

I would say 5 or 6....if we're away for the weekend (which is a lot in the summer, DH's family has a Summer house in CT so we go there a lot!) obviously we don't, but every weeknight we do and usually on the weekends too when we're home...I probably cook 60% of the time, DH cooks 40%....

at least 6x/week. we usually go out for dinner on friday nights... but if we don't , i'll cook then too

Thanks ladies!!!!! I thought I was the only one cooking so much... I 've been cooking 4-5x a week since we moved in after the wedding. When we do get takeout/eat out it's during the week because it gives us a break in the middle of the workweek but I cook almost all weekend (unless we go to his mom's on Sundays) because it gives me more time to try a new recipe. I hate feeling rushed with cooking especially if I'm tired after work

My dh works late usually so there really is no point. Plus he is a better cook than me and enjoys it more so Imaybe cook 1-2 times a week and he does about the same.

I call my dh a great wife

yeah i thought i would cook less since dh plays softball a couple times a week. But what i do is have him text me when hes leaving the field and ill start cooking then. So sometimes i cook dinner around 10pm-11pm

God bless you that's late! I've done the same thing but at 8-9 o'clock when DH has to do OT at work or goes to the gym.

its not that bad, you get used to it. SOmetimes though he'll pick something up on the way home, he gets his mcdonalds cravings and he knows i wont eat it so its his opportunity to do so. And if i make anything that late it wont be something that takes long to make
