      Re: How Many Meals Per Week Do You Cook?

      Here's how it works for us:

      During the week, I eat breakfast and lunch at home every day, except about once a week when I buy myself lunch somewhere. DH grabs something at home for breakfast (granola bar, fruit, etc.) and eats lunch out every single day.

      I cook dinner probably 3 times a week. I'm working on getting it closer to 4 or 5. We usually eat out or order pizza on Friday & Saturday nights, and then Sunday - Thursday I always mean to cook but sometimes I just have a cruddy day and don't feel lke it, or I desperately need to get out of the house!

      I will usually cook breakfast on the weekends and one lunch. We usualy eat lunch out Saturday and/or Sunday.

      I'm actually a pretty good cook--not a gourmet chef or anything but a good midwestern wife-type cook. I'm very good at making something out of nothing and using up what we've got. I just need to be disciplined and do it more often!

        My husband cooks his own breakfast every morning and makes his lunch to take to work every day. I eat breakfast and lunch at home every day too. We do eat out a lot for dinner, but it is more the idea of going out somewhere. Plus, I am just plain tired of cooking. I have never really liked to cook, but I could never afford to eat out that much.

          I don't really do any meal planning unless I'm making something special.

          I cook almost every meal, unless I can con dh into doing it for me on his day off

            We probably eat takeout 1x a week and cook dinner 4x a week. My DH eats at home or brings his lunch everyday. I have been spolied by the cheap cafe at work and buy breakfats and lunch a couple of times a week. I'm spolied and won't bring lunch unless my hubby packes it for me, LOL. I too have been trying to be better about cooking. I broke the crock pot out last week and have been cooking up a storm ;-)

              I usually cook 5-6 times a week and there are usually leftovers at some point.

                We usually eat all meals from home so it's 6-7 breakfast,6-7 lunches and 6 dinners. We still eat out once a week.

                  We cook breakfast every single day. I take my lunch to work almost every day, except about 1 time a month on payday, I treat myself to something different. We cook dinner nearly every evening, except maybe about 1 time every other month, we go out to the movies and a dinner. Nothing fancy, though, usually just some place with soups and salads or something like that. We never eat tv dinners, as they are usually loaded with stuff that I cannot eat. I have allergies to any milk product and my husband is allergic to peanuts, so it pays for us to cook for ourselves most of the time.
