Hellobee Boards

We cook probably 4 - 5 nights a week, but I don't have a LO yet, so I definitely have the time and energy. I totally like getting take out... But half the time, I can't decide what I'm in the mood for, haha!

We are trying to save money for closing on our house so we're trying to not eat out at all right now... so yeah, I'm a wee bit jealous

I'm pretty bad, but of course I try to justify it. My fiance travels like, 90% for work so he's almost always gone. After working all day and getting home at 5:30-6:00, it is SO hard for me to want to start cooking/preparing a meal for...just me. By the time I prep/cook/eat/clean up, it's usually 7:00-8:00. I have never really LOVED the act/process of cooking, and am usually just as happy with a 6" sub or something...sigh.

Yup, I cook once a week. The rest of the time, it's take-out, delivery or out to eat. I know it's wasteful but the time and energy it takes for me to go to the grocery store, prepare the food, cook the food and then clean up is just NOT worth it to me! No shame
I should also add that I live in NYC with a teeny, tiny kitchen and have to walk to/from the grocery store...

We cook 2-3 times a week...and a lot of the rest of the time it's takeout, going out to eat, or having something like cereal or yogurt! I feel like with kids, cooking regularly will be much harder...

Hmm let's see... we ate out yesturday for lunch and dinner, today for dinner. ughhh. We do way too much. So unhealthy too! I need to learn how to cook better!!

We eat out for lunch almost everyday but we cook most nights. We eat out about 2-3 nights a week.

We used to eat out probably once a day. But lately we've been trying to eat in to save $$$ and calories. However, that means a lot of sandwiches and frozen stuff from Trader Joe's. I did "cook" a couple times last week -- very simple stuff. But that's a lot for me. I don't really enjoy cooking.

We eat out once a month tops, I always cook

Me. I can't cook. I could learn but haven't. There are some things I can make but on a good week I cook half time. Sometimes I just eat things that don't have to be cooked, premade things or just fruit or sandwiches. It's pathetic!!

me. i cook about once a week! i usually buy prepared foods at whole foods (ie salad bar, deli, or hot food items). we'll order takeout from our favorite restaurants about once a week too. i have two babies to care for, a full-time job, and limited time for myself in the evenings, so the last thing i want to do is sit in front of a stove and wash dishes!

I eat out every day. I say "I" because DH usually works really late and wanted me to stop making dinners for him/us since he'd come home, eat, and then it's bedtime. Said I was making him gain weight. So... I hardly cook anymore, even though I love to.
On the nights he does get home early and weekends, we usually go out to eat or order in.

We try to eat home cooked meals during the week because we eat out for most of our meals on the weekends. But I always make sure one or two nights are leftovers so that we really only have to cook 2-3 times during the week.

The only decent food thats not junk fast food near us is pizza shops, and I'm pretty frugal, so we only eat out about once a week. If we lived closer to "town" we'd probably eat out more often. DH's former job as a pest control salesman also naturally curtailed our dining out. You don't want to know...

For me it just depends on the week, how I feel, etc. If I'm having a bad week with bad migraines, I won't cook. And that happens pretty often.

This week I haven't been doing a lot of cooking because I've just been too busy to get to the store. Yesterday LO was sick so I had to take her to the doctor, then had lunch with my mom and had to go to the lab to pick up something to put her poo in. Then it was nap time.... and there went my day.

Today DH's car is in the shop so he has my car and we're stuck at home with no car, so no grocery shopping again. Which means we're eating out again. I'm hoping to get to the store tomorrow. I want to make spinach lasagna!

I don't believe weekends were meant for cooking though, and Fridays are part of my weekends

I cook probably 2-3x a week; the rest of the time, we do leftovers for lunches at work and we'll eat out, get carry out, or eat with our parents

I wish! There's no way we could afford that.

We have phases/spurts where we eat out every night for a month, then we get our credit card bill and I'm like OMG! No more eating out, so I cook. Then one day, I'll be too tired from work to cook so we eat out. Then the next day, and the next day until we get the credit card bill and OMG! Rinse and repeat.

We have a monthly budget for eating out, slit depends on how much we spend. Usually we eat out once per week. I wish we could eat out more! Pre-baby and pre-budget we ate out more like twice a week, we also used to do a lot more pre-prepared foods. Never used to like cooking, but I'm getting used to it and enjoying it more!
