does anyone really cook meals anymore?

I cook every single night of the week. On the nights my son has tball, we usually just have something easy like hot dogs or soup and sandwiches. We only eat at fast food places on the Saturday afternoon after my husband gets paid. We might go to a restaurant once every 3 or 4 weeks and that's just if the family gets together...like my parents and sisters and their families. I cook meals every night...a meat, a veggie, and a starch. We have things like homemade spaghetti, homemade lasagna, hamburgers, meat and potatoes, etc. But, I have to say that I am a stay at home mom so even though I am busy, I do have more time to cook a real meal than some people do.

I cook home cooked meals at least five times a week. I find it much healthier for my husband and I and I happen to really enjoy cooking. But I happen to be one of the lucky ones that is home during the day and I don't have children so I do have the time to cook. I can understand families with both parents working and kids how they could manage meals besides is beyond me. My husband is a chef so the last thing he want to do is eat at a restaurant too Cheryl

I have a husband that I love to spoil so I cook almost every night of the week. I make sure we sit as a family and have dinner. I was raised to cook for your family and I'm teaching my kids to cook too. I enjoy it and I know my family is getting fed a good meal. Sometimes on the weekends I will throw some frozen pizzas in the oven or something like that but other than that I'm pretty big on the homecooked meals.

I love to cook. I cook or make a salad almost everyday. If you want to see my favorite meal check out my post at: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/994139.aspx Lloyd

I usually cook my meals. I really can't stand all the salt in prepackaged meals and I feel ill after eating them. Besides, making your own is just so much cheaper and healthier than buying readymade, or hamburger helper

I cook most of our meals, as we can't afford to do it any other way. On special occassions, like birthdays, I will get a night off from cooking.

My daughter is really into cooking now- so we cook almost every night of the week- Plus I think its more healthy and less expensive than ordering out, or getting prepackaged meals. Dinner time is our bonding time- Even on softball practice nights - I sit with my daughter while she eats-- it's a bit too early for me- All other nights the 3 of us eat as a family- We do quick meals through the week and Big dinners on sunday!

I cannot stand the taste of pre-packaged foods. It tastes so fake. I make everything from scratch at home except for bread. I do make that though, but not for sandwiches. It is so much cheaper to cook from scratch and I don't understand why more people doesn't do it. I'd rather take an hour to cook supper than to stand in front of a microwave. Some people just does not have the time to cook this way and that is understandable.
