Do you cook your own food?

Question

Some people rely on their parents, some prefer buying pre-made meals, and others can whip something up quick and call it a meal. What’s your go-to?

MrOracle · Accepted Answer

I do plenty of cooking, especially in non-winter months, where I do a lot of grilling. That said, I do eat a lot of fast food and the like, because I'm on the road most days, moving from job to job, and I rarely have time to sit down and eat. I also can't make enough ice to keep food out of the danger zone (my van gets hot in the sun very quickly, and my ice maker is slow), so I only rarely take food to work.

For breakfast, I may just have a couple pieces of fruit, a PB&J sandwich, or a homemade Egg McMuffin (I have a special maker for those).

Dinner is when I cook the most often, probably 2-3 nights a week on average. My girlfriend also likes to cook, so she cooks a few nights, and we usually eat out at least once a week.

Chicken or ribs?

Lliam · Accepted Answer

For the most part, yes.
I have a small breakfast and no lunch. But my wife and I make dinner. She does most of the cooking but I do some.
We are particular about sourcing healthy meat and produce. No GMOs; locally grown, organic veggies and some we grow ourselves. We grow lots of herbs, too, and use high quality seasonings. Most of our meat is locally produced, humanely raised and organic. Wild caught seafood.

I'd say our meals are delicious and some would be considered gourmet. They would be very expensive in a restaurant and probably not as healthy or tasty.

The majority of the time I do ALL the cooking. I'm just glad he likes the food I like or at least doesn't complain, because it sucks having to cook two different meals! I've asked if there's something he wants special but he just says everything I cook is good.

Cooking my own food is something I genuinely enjoy. It allows me the freedom to experiment with different flavors and techniques. I love creating dishes inspired by my travels, like a hearty pasta with freshly made pesto or a comforting bowl of ramen. There's something truly rewarding about crafting a meal from scratch; it's like a canvas where I can express my culinary wanderlust. 🍝🍜

I'm going to be honest. I'm not great at cooking but I can definitely cook myself a proper meal if I want to.

But I'm not patient enough to cook myself a proper meal very often because I don't like cooking and it's very time consuming.

It will cost me like 30-60 minutes to make depending on the dish, for something that is gone in 5 minutes.
And then afterwards I will still need to clean up the mess I made. For myself it's not worth it and therefore I often choose a easy to make meal

That's why having a girlfriend that likes cooking is awesome. I appreciate them a lot for the effort and time they spend to cook us a nice meal🙏🏼☺️

The most advanced cooking I do is throwing a frozen pizza in the oven. Usually it's something that I pop into the microwave, or fast food. I don't cook. It's just too much hassle and not enough reward. Obviously, I'm not a foodie. If it fills me up, that'll do. I like real food, but it's just too much of a pain.

My go to is I go to the Grocery store and I buy $100250. Were the food every wbecause I like to cook? I like to eat good food. I like to eat healthy food. So yes I cook breakfast and dinner and lunch. I will make my own lunch if I come home for lunch

douride2 · Answer

I live alone so I have no choice but to cook my own food. Eating out or delivery is just way to expensive.

Anonymous · Answer

I'm a pretty decent cook and I cook a lot. We don't like fast food much and we can't really afford to eat out very often. I usually do it with my girlfriend. She's my sous chef because she doesn't really have any cooking skills, but she wants to learn.

Caughtulookin · Answer

Stop the frozen and canned stuff asap. Yes the answer is yes that i cook my own meals mostly. Its much better for your health and libido. I even make my own salsa. I make most sauces from scratch the way they are meant to be. Canned foods are very high in sodium/salt which is very bad for you. Frozen is not clean eating. Read up on clean eating if you are unfamiliar.

Static_In_The_Attic · Answer

As for me I’m totally independent & I live alone so instead of eating fast food garbage I leaned out to cook a long time ago.
