    My ex did most of it becuase I am a pretty terrible cook. Now that I am single with the kids, I am slowly learning.
    I am nothing fancy, but I can bust out the basics.
    Honestly, I just don't enjoy cooking.

    My husband is a wonderful cook, he does however use too much EVOO and butter IMO. I don't eat everything he cooks (he's not so good at cooking veggies since he can't stand them, lol) some meals I cook myself. But I must say it is wonderful having a man that cooks!

    No. My husband does all the cooking, but that's because he gets to be a stay at home husband while I go to work. Awesome trade off for us both!

    I am the better cook. I used to do all the cooking. Now, we kinda share the responsibility, except she really only makes about three different meals. You cannot eat the same three every day, or even every week.
    The thing about her meals, though, is that both kids like them and will eat them. When I make something, one kid likes, one does not. Or, vice versa.

    i just made this the other day, who's coming over for dinner?
    its emily bites spinach and ricotta rollups with grilled chicken and mixed greens with balsamic and lemon juice..

    now i don't cook like this every day.. but seriously. cooking is awesome when I'm not feeling pressured into it.


    * also I'm single, and made this for friends/family. so willingness to cook for others has to be something you enjoy if you want it to taste good in my opinion.

    Lol my boyfriend and I live together and he does more of the cooking. We both LOVE cooking. But he works from home. So he is done at 4 or 5 and he has time to cook. I get done work at about 5:30 - then it takes an hour to get home - so I'm at home at 6:30. I try to start dinner the night before. And I help on weekends and stuff. Some weekdays too. But yeah, my bf does most of the cooking *sigh*

    As a single dad who lives alone I have to cook for myself and my daughter. But even when I wasnt single I still did the majority of the cooking

    My husband has become a better cook than myself. I somehow lost my love for cooking over the years. I just wish he would expand his mind on what he calls a veggie - so far it's only potatoes, corn, baked beans, hashbrowns ....... so we compromise, he'll cook the main meal and I'll supplement with the veggies that I want.

    My boyfriend does most of the cooking too. We both enjoy cooking, but most of the time when we get back home from work in the evenings he's the one who cooks while I do some light cleaning to keep the house in a decent condition during the week. Or I help him a bit with chopping vegetables etc. It works well for us.

    I can't even imagine how wonderful that would be. My husband can't even make a pb&j sandwich. I cook EVERY meal and hand it to him.

    I really don't understand how people can just not cook.... It's food, you have to eat. You should now how to make good healthy food to eat. How can you eat boxed food all the time? Gross.

    I don't have much time to cook with my work schedule, plus he cooks what he and my son eat, I usually eat something different...he thinks I should clean if he cooks, so I need to start cooking, I guess, lol!

    My husband doesn't cook, but that doesn't mean he won't get in the kitchen and try. I like to cook; it's how I keep the meals healthy both physically and mentally. I find it therapeutic and it makes me happy to do something nice for him; he's always grateful because his mom never cooked for him. Anyway, he always takes out the trash and does the ironing. :D

    My husband does almost all of the cooking. He loves to cook and is disabled, so he's home during the day while I work. He tells me that he wants to cook for me as his contribution since I am at work during the day. He's a very good cook, too.

    I like to cook, but don't get the opportunity to do it very often.

    I do most of the cooking simply because I am better at it.
    As a child, my Mother made almost everything from scratch so that is what I got accustomed to.
    In the Army, I did a lot of my own cooking and learned by trial and error.

    My wife is a different story.
    If it wasn't in a box, her Mother did not cook it.
    She lived at home until we got married so, she really never learned how to cook.

    In addition, I actually enjoy cooking. It is an inexpensive way to create stuff (way cheaper then building hot rods).

    I cook quite a bit of the time, but not all the time. I enjoy coming up with new stuff too.

    My husband is the cook in our house. In 21 years of knowing each other, I have fixed 1 meal & that is when we were dating. Now it's not that I am a bad cook, it's just how we've always done it. He cooks dinner & I do the dishes.

    I cook/plan the majority of our meals. I wish my husband would surprise me with meals.

    If he cooks, it's something I've planned and either told him or left a recipe for!

    Ladies, if your man does this without you planning or being asked to... be thankful!

    If I'm being "particular" like during a cut, I cook almost everything I eat. Otherwise, I do about half the cooking for the fam.
