What is your goal for cooking?

I'm guessing older generations do that. The meat and potato types. I have to assume they are fat?

I just try to make it edible! lol I hate to cook but we don't over do the fats

affordable... somethings I try to make healthy.... but some special recipies I go all out (whole milk and all.... lol) it all depends

I make only healthy and nutritious meals. They are delicious and taste better than any unhealthy meal. I cook with whole ingredients and know how to use spices. Fat and salt are not necessary to make foods good. I cannot eat my mils cooking or eat out just anywhere they usually over salt the food. There are two fine dining restaurants with real chefs and the food is delicious they pride themselves on nutrition and taste.

I only know how to cook about 5 things and they are the basic, meat, vegtable and potatoes meals... some of the others would probably be considered unhealthy :)

It has to be affordable, nutritious, something we haven't had recently, something my son will eat, and something I have or can get.

Healthy, budget friendly, tasty. All are equally important.

I want it to taste good, but also somewhat healthy. I also like different things and try not to make repeat meals two weeks in a row. The only thing that we eat just about every week is spaghetti! We stock up on meat when its on sale, so it usually has to be something I have on hand!

healthy and tastes good. i will pay a little extra to get better quality.

We aim for health and taste, but if we end up with a meal that is not 100% healthy (e.g., McD's) then we buy some fresh fruit for dessert or a snack to try to balance it out.

I know that as the years have gone by a lot of people's perceptions of taste have changed. For instance, I can't stand whole milk or fried foods. I don't even like the smell of foods being fried. I think it's awesome that we can raise our children in a healthier way without them thinking that they are missing a whole lot, unless they visit a friend or relative who eats junk food all the time which a lot of kids find yummy.
Fortunately, my children don't consider a dinner meal complete unless it has at least one vegetable.
