  • Cook a real dinner? bahahaha..well since Gio has been born only once a week, twice if your lucky..however, DH has become quite the cook..he likes to cook soup, sauce, burgers...

    Make a quick meal (microwaveable, toaster oven type stuff)? At the moment we're a quick meal kind of family so pretty often.. ellios pizza, sandwiches, mac and cheese, spagehetti.. i'm assuming that will change once Gio gets a little older and we want to instill good eating habits ;)

    Go out to Dinner? once every 2-3 months

    Order in? only on weekends maybe 2 times a month

    Cook a real dinner? it depends. we usually plan for one every night at this point but when I work late or Steve has baseball then we just do something quick (like cereal for me and a sandwich for him lol).

    Make a quick meal (microwaveable, toaster oven type stuff)? we buy frozen veggies that generally require microwave, but other than that we don't microwave an entire dinner all that often.

    Go out to Dinner? now? rarely. unless we're away for the weekend and don't have a choice we're trying to buckle down now that we've got the extra expenses of the house.

    Order in? same as go out to dinner. though once we get a look at all of our bills we'll be a little more flexible to order in and go out.

    and I answer all of these as the newbie on our own lol. we've got good intentions of eating in more than eating out so we'll see how long that lasts....so far, so good.

    Cook a real dinner? I think most of what I do would be considered quick meals, do casseroles count?

  • Cook a real dinner? Every other night...I make enough for leftovers the next day.

    Make a quick meal (microwaveable, toaster oven type stuff)? It's never a quick meal to me...I usually take about 30 mins if it's a quick-fix meal.

    oh no no no....I dont make french toast unless it's on the weekends.  Although french toast sounds sooooo yummy!!!!   I have been making us a scrambled omlet or a breakfast sandwich.  It's a great way to cut costs.

  • Cook a real dinner? I've been trying to cook at least 3-4 meals a week but it depends on how collin's moods are.

    Make a quick meal (microwaveable, toaster oven type stuff)? 1-2 times a week

    Go out to Dinner? Probably about once a week which n I want to cut down to every other week.

    Order in? Depends but not very often.

  • Cook a real dinner?I used to cook 5-6 nights a week, since getting pregant and us both eating late lunches lately i have been maybe cooking 1-2 night s a week

    Make a quick meal (microwaveable, toaster oven type stuff)? never unless you count pasta which i eat all the time!

    Go out to Dinner? once a week

    Order in? once a week
  • Cook a real dinner? 4-5 nights a week.  I used to do most of the cooking, but since getting pregnant DH does nearly all of it.  And it helps that he gets home from work 2-3 hours before I do. 

    Make a quick meal (microwaveable, toaster oven type stuff)? 1-2 times a week.  We usually do a frozen pizza one night when we plan on doing a bunch of stuff around the house.

    Go out to Dinner?  Usually one night on the weekend, and we might do a lunch on Sundays.

    Order in? Rare for us...if we do anything it is Chinese take-out, and that usually only happens once every month or two.

  • I try to cook most of my food on Sundays but I only cook enough for 4 nights, lunches and a little for leftovers.  We go out to dinner, eat something quick or have leftovers the other 3 nights.  

    Often when I cook, I cook 6 servings and freeze half of it so sometimes I don't even have to cook for the week or make lunches. Meal planning is most helpful for me. I hate to come home and decide what to cook. If I didn't have a plan we would end up eating out all the time.
