I love to cook and actually don't really like when DH has to do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks/page/2#post-1157619 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 21:58:12 +0000 Marfi 1157619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cook, he does the dishes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks/page/2#post-1157581 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 21:22:34 +0000 Sunderling 1157581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do almost all the cooking, but DH makes both of our sandwiches and will occasionally make eggs or grilled cheese. He likes to help out sometimes when I'm making things, so he'll cut up vegetables for me or do other easy tasks, but I am the one who really loves to cook. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks/page/2#post-1157542 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 21:08:13 +0000 Boheme 1157542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre-baby, I always did. Post-baby, DH does it all. I miss it though, so I'm going to start cooking on a couple of my days off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks/page/2#post-1157344 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:31:06 +0000 yin 1157344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It used to be 50/50. Then LO started eating solids, and I had to put dinner on the table by 6 every night if I wanted us to eat as a family. It's a lot of work. I think DH forgot how to cook... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks/page/2#post-1155931 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 15:13:49 +0000 mrsog 1155931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look everything. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Once in a while DH will surprise me with a meal which is nice but its not often enough lol Although since being preggo and still in the first tri where being in the kitchen is horrible he has really stepped up. also I like to cook so I cant complain </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks/page/2#post-1155900 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 15:06:14 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1155900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its prob. 65 percent me. DH cooks on the weekends. Sat-sun he's in charge of lunch and dinner, and sometimes breakfast too. </p> <p>I plan 3 meals a week, usually. The other 2 weekday nights it's leftovers or I just wing it.</p> <p>EtA who has the cook?! I'm jealous!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks/page/2#post-1155747 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 14:16:44 +0000 deerylou 1155747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband cooks almost every evening. I prep while he's driving home, or I'll fix dinner completely if it's especially simple to make. I am not very talented in the kitchen, and become frustrated easily (we tend to make pretty complicated meals, for some reason). It's also difficult to be sure that DD will be occupied while I cook. Besides, DH is an *amazing* cook, and says it helps him unwind at the end of the day.</p> <p>I pack his lunch, fix breakfasts, and bake. Oh, and I clean like a mad woman! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks/page/2#post-1155733 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 14:12:28 +0000 heartonastring 1155733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cook on weeknights and DH cooks on weekends. We both love to cook. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks/page/2#post-1155628 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:49:19 +0000 Mrs. Train 1155628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do most but my husband loves to grill and smoke meat so he does that part and I do everything else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks/page/2#post-1155619 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:47:31 +0000 LuLu Mom 1155619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cook 95% off the time, he usually grills (even though I think I'm techincally the better griller!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks/page/2#post-1155616 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:46:38 +0000 plantains 1155616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pretty much do all the cooking. Mostly because I love cooking and I'm fairly adventurous iin the kitchen. DH just wants to make pasta and sauce everyday. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks/page/2#post-1155573 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:36:42 +0000 Running Elley 1155573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the only one who cooks anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks/page/2#post-1155522 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:24:37 +0000 banana 1155522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me 99% of the time!

I'm in school twice a week at night, and my husband will make himself some tortellini sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks#post-1155346 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:41:24 +0000 .twist. 1155346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh cooks most of the time, however I do cook on occasion. I usually will do big meals when we host dinner parties. Dh cooks meals for the 2 of us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks#post-1155321 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:35:05 +0000 GrapeCrush 1155321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH works until 6 M-F, so i cook. if he has off, or on the weekends he will cook. but i cook 95% of the meals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks#post-1155265 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:20:02 +0000 MrsRcCar 1155265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cook a lot of time. However, DH does cook or help me with dinner. DH went to culinary school, I think of it as a big treat when he decides to just whip up dinner. The other night he made the most yummy pork chop dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks#post-1155235 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:12:44 +0000 psw27 1155235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my DH tries to help, annoys me("Where is the colander?" "Is tbsp tablespoon?" "How much chicken should I make?" and I just end up saying I will just do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks#post-1155205 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:04:05 +0000 Freckles 1155205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: Hahaha, that's so me! We were long distance, so i'd make these fancy meals when we got together. But honestly, if we continued that route we'd both be 200lbs. Now it's like, "yeah, it's fine." "Fine? What does fine mean?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks#post-1155199 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:03:28 +0000 Mae 1155199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cook everything that gets cooked inside. My husband cooks things we eat on the grill. Whoever didn't cook cleans up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks#post-1155192 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:02:12 +0000 JoJoGirl 1155192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cook everything and DH does the dishes. He doesn't get home until late most nights so we wouldn't eat if he was in charge of dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks#post-1155190 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:01:23 +0000 BabyMats 1155190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From the moment I got pregnant he cooked everything all three meals if he was off. Nite that I'm home and want to do paleo. I cook. On the weekends he did make breakfast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks#post-1155175 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 11:59:38 +0000 LovelyPlum 1155175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a general rule, I cook and he does the dishes. But since getting pregnant, he's been cooking more, because raw meat and I are not friends. Now, I'd say it is about 60-40 me to him cooking. The only exception is pork chops. He always cooks the pork chops, because for the life of me, I cannot cook them correctly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks#post-1155163 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 11:57:11 +0000 PurplePumps 1155163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cook everything. =( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks#post-1155157 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 11:55:49 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1155157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't respond, because I didn't see the right option. I love that you hate people with a cook. I would LOVE to be someone's chef!! Let me know if you are ever hiring (and want another family living with you ;) ). I cook pretty much everything, but Mr. T makes Sunday (or other day of the week) breakfast regularly. He's a good cook, also, but I love cooking and have more time to do it, so I am the primary chef. When we first got together he used to send pictures of our meals to people because I like to cook fancy and he was always really proud and impressed. Now he just says that everything I make is "okay." He's spoiled, I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks#post-1155148 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 11:53:10 +0000 mrs. wagon 1155148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: I FREAKING LOVE THE 99!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks#post-1155141 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 11:52:16 +0000 bpcmarj 1155141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: We are the same way. We never take vacations or buy fancy things, but we LOVE to eat out. And I am not even talking good food. Pre-baby it was like the 99 three nights a week. lol.</p> <p>Right now, it's about even on who cooks dinner. I make P's lunches twice a week, and DH and I make our own breakfast and lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cooks#post-1155139 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 11:51:25 +0000 mrs. wagon 1155139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePeony: there is hope!! our first is now almost 4 and Wagon Sr. has gone from cereal and yogurt (couldn't even make toast in the toaster) to full breakfasts! eggs every morning. </p>
