Cooking Dinner-How many nights a week do you cook?

It is quite surprising to me, but as my family has grown I have developed a true love for cooking for my family. These days I have been cooking at least 6 days a week and ordering pizza or some other takeout on Friday nights. How many days a week do you cook dinner?

I cook almost every night! I have a really particular diet, plus I'm on a tight budget, so we go out to eat maybe once every 2-3 months. But really, most of the time we'd rather stay home and cook. We find that we can make better dishes for less money then we can get at a restaurant!

I usually cook 4-5 nights a week. I try to have leftovers at least one night. On Sundays, we usually eat a big lunch at my mom's and then have some snacks at night. We go out to dinner about once every week and a half or 2 weeks.

I too cook 6 nights a week and we eat out on Friday/Saturday. I guess I'm able to cook so regularly only because I'm at home, I love to cook and enjoy it. Hope I can stick to this even when I begin to work or study.

I cook almost everynite, sometimes everynite. I don't like to go out to dinner so I would rather cook. Most the time I cook at least 5 nights a week, on the other 2 nights we will eat leftovers or a sandwhich.

Most nights we have a home cooked meal here. I have three children of my own and my boyfriend's son is here as well on the weekends so it's really rather expensive to order out. But we take turns cooking (actually he does the majority of it).

Well we crockpot a lot. So I will cook one day, then we will eat the crockpot meal for 3 or 4 days. With cooking in between. Maybe sometimes make bread. Have not had pizza in the house since before Christmas.

I'm much like you. I love to cook and usually cook 6 nights a week. Saturday night is take away (take out) night if we're home - or sometimes we go to a restaurant.

I cook every night. We have homemade pizza on Friday. The kids love to make their own.

On the average, I cook 4-5 days a week, my homemaker maybe a few lunches and a dinner or 2 if I'm feeling fatigued, my husband 1-2, and we usually order in or go out every 2 weeks. I think thats about the norm.

It depends on who is having what for dinner as sometimes my oldest daughter will cook for herself and her brother and sister. Most of the rest of the time my fiancé and I share the cooking as we do with most of stuff that needs done around the house.
