How many nights a week do you cook a meal at home?

I went from cooking 5-6 times a week to 3-4 nights a week. When the time changed and it started staying daylight until 8pm it is so easy to spend my time outside playing with the kids rather than inside cooking.

I have to add we don't eat out often. We just eat easy stuff like soup, sandwhiches, and stuff that can be microwaved.

I'd say that I cook dinner 6 nights a week. Even an "easy" dinner for us is still cooking, usually some sort of egg/breakfast type dinner.

Not many, for a variety of reasons. DH doesn't eat dinner on weeknights. The kids are working, or at school games/functions, practice, friend's houses, etc. January through April I'm usually working late, and I don't like to eat late. Now that the days are warming up and we have more daylight, we're on a bike ride or hike after work.

I sometimes cook (2-3 nights a week or so) specifically for lunches and don't eat the meal for dinner. We almost always smoke or grill on weekends and have one larger meal in the afternoon.

Probably 4-5 nights a week for us. The other nights we either go out or eat something super simple like cereal. Usually our first conversation when we get home is what to cook for dinner. We never remember to take meat out of the freezer, so defrosting stuff is always a challenge and we end up eating super late. Now that it's warm, we grill a ton.

It really varies for us. Some weeks we eat in 2-3 meals and go out the rest. Other times we cook everyday. The past few weeks Dh and I have cooked really quick meals or we will cook something we can eat for a few days. The issue is I like to eat earlier than DH so it can get annoying when I want to eat at 7-8ish and he's more of a 10:30 eater.

We menu plan for 6 nights a week. Sometimes it's easy stuff, othertimes it's not. I keep speghetti sauce frozen in the freezer as one of our backup quick meals.

On the weekends I will sometimes go ahead and grill/cook any chicken that is needed during the week that is getting mixed with stuff or used on panini's. In the summer we grill a lot. I think tonight's menu is grilled flank steak with grilled corn on the cob and a salad. During grad school we practically lived eating out of our crockpot.

I would say that we eat at home 6 nights per week. I hate throwing food away, so usually 1-2 of those nights are leftovers for dinner. We'll also eat at home some nights without "cooking" (cereal or whatnot). So I would say that on average we cook dinner 3-4 nights/week.

Also, I say "we" because when the weather is nice Kyle does more of the cooking as we enjoy grilling out, but when the weather is gross then I am generally the one who does the cooking.

I cook every night of the week. Maybe once or twice a month (if that) we order in or take-out.

Five or six, but it's easy for me since I am home about three hours before Jim. I have plenty of time to chill out and still make dinner. Plus I really like doing it.

With our choir schedule, it's become like 2-3 times a week now. On choir nights we go straight from work and eat somewhere cheap nearby. Otherwise we cook on nights we're at home but often make enough for leftovers.

We're easing up on the commitments now though so we'll be spending more evenings at home. Hopefully that will give us more chances to cook dinner.

In a normal week, usually 4-5 nights. Friday is generally our delivery night, and Saturday we usually go out to eat. Otherwise, the menu is planned to cook the remainder of the nights unless one of us has another commitment. I really wish we had a grill, as that would be so much nicer in the warm weather (my main gripe about apartment living).

Five nights a week; we cook big batches of meals on Sundays (that usually last for two or three meals), and then make easier things (like egg sandwiches, soup, or a quick pasta dish) the other nights. Friday is our eating out day, and Saturday is either eating out/something simple we each picked up during grocery shopping that day.
