Which one do you usually prefer? I most of the time just cook something simpe for myself like can soup or noodle, maybe even just junk food. Because I like cooking for people way more than cooking for myself. What food do you prefer when you call food delievery? Or what do you cook for yourself usually when you are all by yourself?
I want to do food delivery for today because I don't want to eat instant noodle or junk food anymore but I'm not able to get out the house so I don't know... maybe cofee coffee and coffee...

we never order out. it is too expensive. i always cook at home to save money. it is alot of work but if it saves money then i have to do it. i run out of ideas of what to make sometimes and what i have on hand is often limited because of the economy and my house is not stocked the way it used to be when things were better. so i make do. i made turkey meatballs this week as i had all the ingredients, and i roasted a chicken and sauteed vegetables and made some baked potatoes. tonight will most likely be some sort of pasta dish.

I cook food for my self or buy food at a carinderia if i dont have much time to cook. But if i want some pizza or pasta i go out to buy.

I live alone so I tend to call for delivery since I dont do market that much. I only prepare myself for breakfast and snacks, but for meals I call on for delivery since its quicker and gives me time to relax.

I cook at home for my family. It's more practical and we get to cook our food the way we want. Ordering food is much more expensive and we can't afford to do that right now .

Hello mermaidivy,
If it is just for me, instant noodle would be alright. Or maybe, some biscuits and a cup of Milo. If I call a food delivery, it must be pizza hut or mc donald and again, another 'healthy' junk food. Like you, I love to cook for my husband and son too. I just feel superb and great whenever I see them eating the food that I cooked.

i cook for myself all the time. like to cook & like to eat. lol. its just me & i would get tired of junk food pretty quick. only thing i ever order in is a pizza & i do that very seldom. sometimes when i am out running errands i will go by & get me a burger & bring it home.

I like to order food at my home once in a while but it gets too expensive with the delivery charges and taxes. I usually cook at home because it isn't as expensive and I can make more healthy things.
I like to prepare good meals like chicken and pork and also it is important to have fruits and vegetables in our diets.
My son is very important to me and I like him to eat more things at home rather than too much fast food or ordering in types of food.
When I am by myself which isn't very often I would probably like to prepare soup or even eggs. I like to cook eggs in different styles and I like to eat toast with butter and jam.
And of course coffee. I like to drink more of the decaffeinated kind of coffee though because I am trying to watch my caffeine intake.

Yes, I do agree that you will need to take care of the caffeine in the future. In pregnancy I don't recommend drinking much coffee or drinks with caffeine. I am talking from personal experience.
I tried not to drink too much regular coffee when I was pregnant.
As a matter of fact I think that I tried to drink more water because it is very beneficial to us whether pregnant or not.
It seems to have a way of flushing out things like impurities out of our systems.
We have become more of a healthy conscious society in these times of worry over health and such.
That is why I try to make more home cooked meals and try to avoid the grease and oils that are in everyday foods.
Ordering in sure can be a nice and convenient thing to do from time to time however it can become costly and not as healthy in the long run.
Take care.

I don't care about the caffeine thing but I think I will need to take care of it when I get pregnant in the future.
Thanks for responding!

I like to cook, but I hate doing the dishes afterwards, I rarely cook at home, we always order food or eat out...

I normally cook myself. Because in our country , outside food is costly and is also not
worth to eat . Better , i cook myself with what i know and eat . This fulls my stomach
even if it is in small amounts . When i eat outside food , i will not be getting the
sense of satisfaction. Once my mother was out for a marriage and i cooked myself .

I do the cooking. The food delivery only happens when I didn't cook dinner because I was late coming home from school.

I never call food delievery.It saves much money to cook by myself,at most time it's expensive to call food delievery,besides I like cooking,I can cook whatever I want,sometimes I learn to cook from TV and books,it's funy.Sometimes the delievery food is not healthy,I'm worried whether the food washed or fresh,because I've heard many accidents about poison.
