Are you the Chef of the house or your FH? Or both? Any favorite meals you both like to make together?
My FH can burn water and can pretty much only make toast and cereal. I love to cook, and I'm a total control freak.. so I don't let him in the kitchen :) If he comes in when I'm cooking I say 'GET OUT OF MY WOMAN CAVE!!' LOL

Hahaha!! Your woman cave! I'm going to use that!! I'm the same, control freak in the kitchen, plus we have a really small kitchen, so more than one person it starts to get claustrophobic. I went away this past June for 4 days and I was like, are you going to live? I bought cold cuts and cereal because that's pretty much all he can handle. lol. A few weeks ago though, I wasn't feeling well. When I woke up, he was in the kitchen with one of my cookbooks attempting pancakes from scratch. I jumped in a few times to save him (and breakfast!) but overall, he didn't do too bad. It was sweet.

FH and I split cooking duties. I'm no culinary chef, but I have a few delicious go-to meals that I have perfected. FH is an awesome cook. Everything he makes is delicious, even if he just makes it up!

FH and I both love to cook but cooking is definitely a passion for me. I LOVE Gordon Ramsay and FH took me out to dinner there for our first Christmas together - we've actually been to his restaurants a bunch of times since! I love trying new recipes as often as possible but some of the best times are when FH and I open up a bottle of wine and cook dinner together. So fun! FH loves the Beef Wellington I make using Gordon Ramsay's recipe. Last weekend I tried a few different pinterest recipes for football Sunday and they came out great too!
I have NEVER been a natural in the kitchen and my sweet FH is an AMAZING cook. He (and his mother and sweet little nonnas) have taught me so many things that I can finally hold my own when I'm cooking. However since FH works from home 3 out of 5 days a week and my hours in the city are so weird (10am-6pm) I'm usually not home till after 730 so he always has food on the table waiting for me. Bless his heart I (sometimes ) wish the scenario was reversed! I would love to be able to cook more often and improve my skills!

we live with my dad and he's a chef so he makes like 98% of our meals lol. plus I'm on a diet so I'm not cooking for anyone delicious food I cannot eat.
I always joke it's my dad's fault I gained weight. there is always ton of delicious food and snacks in the house. I won't even open cabinets downstairs on my diet lol. FH has gained like 50lbs while living here. plus my dad is one of those Italian dads who keeps saying eat eat eat!
when off my diet we're both the chefs I make the Italian kind of food and he's good at bbqing etc. when my dad isn't cooking that is. I should learn to cook lol.

hahahaha this exactly!!! the other day, my FH said he wouldn't make himself kraft mac and cheese because 'i make it better' even though all you do is follow the damn directions on the box lol... I make good dish with sauteed beef and broccoli in a taco seasoning-type thing over lettuce.. we just call it beef and broccoli salad haha.... other favorites are my fettuccine alfredo with prosciutto and peas, lasagna, and I make really good chicken cutlet with homemade mac and cheese :) Now i'm getting hungry lol
I LOVE to bake though, and I make an awesome cheesecake and pumpkin cream cheese roll-

Fh made eggs for me once in a griddle and manage to still mess that up lol. Bless his heart for trying and wanting to make me breakfast. He loves my cooking and I loved to cook so the kitchen is my area. He doesn't even bother to ask me if I need help cause he knows I will say no. The only thing we have as an arrangement is I cook he cleans. So I make the mess and washes the dishes. So it works cause I hate washing dishes. lol This weekend a lone I made 3 pies from scratch, 4 loaves of bread for stuffing, and homemade apple cider. Tomorrow will be making the actual stuffing, prepping the veggies, and making cranberry sauce. So excited for Thanksgiving!

I usually cook, I'm trying my best to broaden my horizons in that arena but it's a work in progress lol. FH cleans up afterwards so it all works out!

I usually cook while he cleans. He can cook though, and he usually cooks out when I'm not feeling/ have had a hectic work day, which happens often enough. We love cooking together and talking about our day. Our favorite meal to cook together would be chicken scampi.

I love to cook! I cook every night unless we have plans to go somewhere for dinner or something else planned for some reason (rare). I have always been a food and cooking lover and would watch the food network but now that we have our own house I really became obsessed with it. It's like my own personal goal to cook a meal every night at home. I experiment with my own recipes every night. I even started my own food 'blog' (Facebook page) to track the meals I make with pictures and easy recipes for working people (I rarely use exact measurements). It's called Bringing it to the Table.. Like it if you're interested!
