    My wife and I rarely go out to eat, maybe once every two weeks. We think our food is better than most restuarants, especially fast food. Between the two of us, we cook breakfast and dinner everyday. We really enjoy our time in the kitchen together.

    Of course I mean cook dinner. I have a husband, 3 kids a dog and a cat. I cook almost every day. My husband works construction and comes home STARVING. He wants hot, home made food. Truthfully, I prefer my own cooking over fast food too. Not to mention it is more economical. So, how many times a week do you cook or do you cook at all?

    Most every days. Once a week might go out to eat and those days are almost always on the weekends.

    Darnit, I only came in here for the doing it. I was robbed!!! :sad:

    That being said, I hate to cook. LoL. I do it as little as possible. Luckily for me, my 19yo loves to cook, so he cooks several times a week. We only eat out maybe twice a month or so.

    My hubby & I both work full time. No kids, but multiple cats. We share cooking, I do most dinners. I LOVE my crock pot! It's easy to put ingredients in it, and come home to a hot meal. I also have an occasional food preparation day. I'll get multiple meals prepared, and freeze them. We go out to dinner about 2-3 times a month.
    I also want to mention, that when I was a child (about 10 years old), I was responsible for making dinner for the family once a week. I usually picked very easy recipes, like tacos, or meat loaf. Perhaps your kids are old enough to introduce them to helping in the kitchen? Mom taught me how to make scrambled eggs when I was around 4 (under very strict supervision).

    I try to cook 4 meals on Saturday and they usually last me until Friday. I live an hour and forty-five minutes from my job, so its imperative that my meals are planned out so I won't eat fast food.

    I work 4 10-12 hours days, so on my days off I cook 2-3 meals so me and my husband can have a home cooked meal every night. Makes brown bagging it very easy that way. :-) :-). I made chicken and dumplings tonight and half went in the freezer.

    If I don't cook enough for leftovers, it is usually 2 to 3 meals per day 7 days per week.

    7 days a week. I don't eat fast food, so where else would my food come from? :)

    Mostly 6 days a week. My husband is a vegeterian and the kids aren't. I make meals for my hubby that will last him several days. The kids eat typical kid foods. I used to let them get McDonald's to get a Happy Meal but most of the time we eat at home. They bring their lunches to school. We do eat out when we go to a Theme Park (Busch Gardens Tampa )

    I cook 2-3 times a week. I try to prepare most of my meals on Sunday so I don't have to cook much during the week. It's just me and my new husband.

    What do you define as cooking?
    I rarely get a pan and make a meal from scratch as I tend to live on steamed vegetables (done in microwave) and poached fish, cottage cheese, eggs, beans, eggs(already hard boiled) and avocado. Sometimes a ready prepared carrot and swede mash.
    I wish I had some idea as to what one can make quickly from scratch.
    I can't even make an omelette... my one attempt resulted in a scrambled mess.

    WHOA. I totally missunderstood the topic of this thread by the title. Heads up - I'm probably not going to be the only one.
    Were you thinking sexual relations too? :blushing: Oh my! You scamp!
    Ditto I do it 7 days a week at least twice a day.

    7. The only time I don't is if I don't feel like eating that day.

    about 3 times a week. I make a fresh dinner for Sunday. Monday morning I put in a slow cook meal. We will usually have that a couple time a week. Make something for a change on Wednesday.

    4-5. There's only me. Usually Sun-Thurs are at home meals, while Fri and Sat are take out.
