But other than that, no. He tries though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-740142 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 14:24:53 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 740142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah! he is pretty good. i cook more usually, but every time i ask him to be in charge of dinner he does a good job and usually makes something I never do (home made chicken fingers, buffalo chicken wraps, etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-740101 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 14:14:23 +0000 yoursilverlining 740101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He cooks the majority of our dinners and is an excellent cook! He likes to always follow a recipe, which bugs me because he wont improvise or scale down for 2 people. But, I don't really have room to complain, so I don't!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739997 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:48:54 +0000 nana87 739997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>dh has a food/cooking blog....i am one lucky lady! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739993 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:47:50 +0000 Koolbreeze 739993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, better than me! Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739991 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:46:15 +0000 blackbird 739991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He can cook alright-he's good at grilling! And if I set a recipe out, he can follow it. Five years ago, he could hardly make anything, so he would help me and I would teach him stuff. Now I feel like our kids wouldn't live off grilled cheese and pancakes if I were out of town :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739961 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:38:30 +0000 looch 739961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband can cook quite well if he's following a recipe. He doesn't have the ability to just pull things out of the fridge and create a meal. That's my specialty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739922 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:27:04 +0000 illumina 739922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he can cook most things I can... only he does it so rarely that when he offers I have to have a quick run down of the recipe and process with him so I'm sure he knows what he's doing. There have been times he forgets to chop up potatoes before boiling or measures completely the wrong amount of pasta for spaghetti for example. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739921 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:27:04 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 739921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is a far better cook than I am, unless its Italian food. I make better pasta dishes in our household, but I've got to give him credit for everything else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739917 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:25:49 +0000 Rescuemom10 739917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is a great cook. He is great with detailed cooking. He cant however look for things we have in the house and make something from that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739913 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:24:18 +0000 heffalump 739913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He can cook some things..... but he doesn't. He cooked for himself in college occasionally, but when I met him he was eating out all the time so I just took on the cooking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739808 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 12:49:32 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 739808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Literally nothing. Nothing...doesn't even know how to work a coffee machine or oven.<br /> If I were sick then LO and him would still eat well; they'd eat out or at my parents' or his parents' house. Ugh...he will never want to or get any urge to cook. He's 31. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739674 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 12:10:36 +0000 Bookish 739674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, he is WAY better a cook than I am, plus he enjoys it! Breakfast is his main thing, and holy cow does he make it well! He also makes lasagne from scratch (including the noodles), and his own tortillas. The only issue I have with him is that he is SO picky that he doesn't like things like steak, seafood, etc. I know he'd be awesome at making things like that, but he won't eat it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739667 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 12:08:37 +0000 IRunForFun 739667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he can, and he does it pretty well and is experimental, too. However, he totally over-seasons EVERYTHING, so I am trying to teach him that sometimes it's best to let the flavor of the actual food shine through and not just the flavor of the millions of spices he puts on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739621 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:57:53 +0000 regberadaisy 739621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, and he loves to. He's actually more adventurous when it comes to cooking than me. Because of him we have made homemade pizza, pasta, sausage, smoked ribs, pulled pork, jerky, pho and the list goes on and on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739592 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:46:58 +0000 MrsSCB 739592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's not a chef or anything but he can follow directions in a recipe. He doesn't have any real intuition in the kitchen though, aside from strictly following directions, so he's always amazed when I make little changes to recipes, haha. I still do most of the cooking, or we cook together, because I enjoy it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739591 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:44:46 +0000 mrskc 739591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. For awhile, while I was pregnant and when A was a newborn, he cooked almost all the meals. Now it's split up. I usually cook a couple and he cooks a couple each week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739565 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:38:11 +0000 littlek 739565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does all the cooking. I'm not domestic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739560 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:37:09 +0000 mrsjyw 739560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep he can cook, used to cook for me all the time during our courting/wooooooooooing phase. :P</p> <p>now we're married and he takes too long, so i cook most of the time.</p> <p>(aren't we so romantic?!) hehe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739522 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:28:10 +0000 Boheme 739522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I love it. We don't have the same opinions on what we should eat - I tend to lean healthier - but I really appreciate it when he cooks. He also has killer baking skills. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739513 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:25:24 +0000 pelikila 739513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He bakes better than he cooks but that is just due to frequency. Either way, he has a few defaults he cooks and bakes and after that he gets fast food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739505 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:21:33 +0000 Smurfette 739505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! He has been doing more if it lately too while I feed/ watch R. We finally got a grill so we have been grilling a ton! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739493 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:18:28 +0000 mrs. wagon 739493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739490 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:18:10 +0000 MrsMac 739490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He can not! Makes eggs, and pancakes from a mix. I kinda feel responsible because I've literally cooked every dinner since we moved in together, so he's never really had a chance to upgrade his bachelor skills of heating frozen pizza. </p> <p>We're about to start TTC though, and he said a few days ago "who's going to cook when you feel really sick, and when you're really huge?" haha. So at least he's thinking about it, and has asked to me start teaching him! Should be fun... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739489 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:17:57 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 739489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He does almost all of the cooking :-) I make up for it by making breakfast and desserts :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739473 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:13:47 +0000 Alivoo01 739473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubby makes a mean rice porridge, eggs, and spaghetti! Otherwise, not so much. Oh, and he's fantastic on the grill if I marinate/season the meat first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739471 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:12:34 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 739471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He probably can cook, but he has never cooked while I have been home or for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739429 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:01:41 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 739429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>does ramen count?... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739425 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:01:04 +0000 chopsuey 739425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope! he can make eggs and ramen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook-1#post-739422 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:00:21 +0000 teamjse 739422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not well, but he tries. </p>
