Cooking.

How many days a week do you cook dinner?  

Do you enjoy it, or is it a chore?

Has it been difficult to make healthier meals at dinnertime?(less convenient in some cases)

Most nights...at least 4-5 nights a week...its rather hard to cook healthier when your spouse isn't about healthy eating...plus its easier to buy prepakaged stuff sometimes especially when i dont really feel like cooking and I can just make mac and cheese for the kids....lol. i hate cooking. DH is picky so generally what i want to cook he doesn't eat so I never cook it b/c I don't feel like listening to him complain, that and I never know what to cook I have no like ideas I guess...pinterest is helping in that catagory but its still kind of difficult.

I generally cook 6 nights a week.  I hate cooking!  I used to like it but since having kids and they only want the same things over and over I'm burned out.  I try to get them to eat new things and sometimes they do and sometimes they don't.  Since DH is working during dinnertime, it's easy for me to make healthier meals because he's not there to complain.  He takes the leftovers to work with him.  If I wasn't so cheap, we'd probably eat out more.

Since I started eating healthier, I am cooking 7 nights a week. It has only been a week and a half though, but I want to continue cooking 6-7 nights a week though.

I love dinner time! But we are meal planners, I literally have a planner with everything we will have for dinner that week (makes once a week grocery shopping easier). Cooking is my "me" time. The only thing I dislike is on days I make something a little more fatty than usual (to please DH) my portions get a little smaller than usual and I will have to add a side salad. I cook 6 days a week, and one night we always have pizza.

i cook dinner almost every day. My dh cooks dinner maybe 1 day a week, but if he does, it is something simple like grilled cheese or nachos. Sometimes i love to cook, sometimes i hate to cook. Cooking healthy makes it funner, i think - makes me more creative in the kitchen. But sometimes it is somewhat inconvenient as i find healthy cooking requires more dishes (HA) and a larger variety of food.

I cook dinner usually 6 nights a week, sometimes all 7. I am the only one that cooks, so if I cook 6 nights, it means we eat out the other. I generally don't mind it and doing something healthier is fairly easy now that it is a part of my life. The rest of my family just has to deal with it!

2-3 nights but we eat leftovers in between. It's been easy once I started.

DH does 2 days and I do 3-4 days.  But I also cook stuff on the weekends to last through the week.  some days it really sucks to get home from work, dh runs out to go to work, kids are screaming, have to cook dinner. lol

good grief I can imagine.  That scares me about going back to work.  I've been lucky I could be a SAHM for this many years but it's not forever.  I'm used to having the day to do things i need to, lol.

I cook every day, unless something comes up & we are running late or something like that. Cooking is a chore at times for me, I have a love hate relationship with it, but it is also a lot of fun experiementing. We have always ate a pretty balanced meal however portions tended to be quite hearty, so we now eat less in one sitting. Lots of veggie & fruits.
