do you cook for yourself when you are home alone

Most of the time if Hubby is sleeping I just tend to throw something quick together. I don't do a whole big meal. I don't mind cooking but it does get tiresom after awhile. [b]**AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~ [/b]

i love to cook for myself and my family people.

i usually either make a sandwich of some kind of quick food such as hot dogs if it's just me. no sense of making a lot of dishes,although i suppose i could just freeze the extra.

When I am alone at home I never bother to cook. It is my holiday from cooking. Just like you are doing I eat what is left in the refrigerator, then do something else. Read, watch TV or clean up.

As I'm on my own I have to, Iwas eating too much frozen stuff I think, but I started to cook a lot more.I like to make things like Chilli or curries that I can use the rest another night.

I live alone so I'm always cooking for myself. It works for me because I know what I like to eat so I can have what I want when I want it. I also don't have to spend ages making it look good because it's only me that will see it so cooking time is greatly reduced.

Hi suehan1, when alone at home, I always try not to cook if there is something just to fill up my stomach. If there is no more bread left, it is a bit troublesome for I have to prepare some food. I always prepare by using the simplest and convenient method, just by steaming a small bowl of rice. I will then take it together with some hot spicy mixed vegetable pickles.

i also enjoy it when i am free at homw then i tries it to make some thing different at home last week i was alone at home and i made rice with curd could u believe that but it was good . but my family told me that its not good.

In the past when I was single, I liked cooking for myself. As it's one of my interests. Since I lived alone, so I thought I should treat myself better. After I am married and now even have a child, if I can be alone at home, I won't cook myself. I prefer to eat outside or have instant food at home. Because it is so difficult to have my own spare time and I shall do more things during this break. So I won't spend time cooking for myself only.

As I live alone and work really odd hours, most days i donn't do breakfast.Or it might be more loike lunch.By tea time I really need something, and I'm trying to cook more often.rather than frozen things.

yup but just simple cook like sandwich and toast. Sometimes i eat can food or buy food from fast food restaurant. When home alone i dont have feel to eat.

i do but not often, maybe once or twice a week - usually during weekends. I dont have time to cook during weekdays because of work. On weekends i have time to shop for ingredients and do some cooking for myself. i usually cook pasta, i find it easy to cook; i experiment on different sauces everytime so it feels like cooking a totally different dish everytime.

If I am on my own I hate cooking, it just doesn't seem worth it. I generally end up picking, like making a piece of toast. I enjoy cooking but when you have done three meals a day all week then I can get quite frustrated and the BF gets the mega hint, it's time to go out and get something (don't have much in the way of takeaways here in the DOm Rep so we end up eating out, hmmm nice!!)

What a lovely discussion! I myself never cook for myself. Usually I will eat outside or cook some instant-noodle adding 1 egg.......lol....just like now! I feel like eating with others not myself and cooking for them. I enjoy the appreciation and commendation from my families. That is why I don't feel like cooking for myself. Besides, I don't know whether I will be fed up with cooking someday or not.But do think that will be my pleasure. I hope so!

I cook for myself all the time so I can't just eat toast everyday of my life so I could whatever I have to make a meal, but at least I know it does not have to be fancy

When I am alone here? I dont know but i never been without a woman in the house. When I was younger, my mother is always there for me. She cooked for me. And now that I am with my wife... she cooks for us. And in the time that she is not in the house, she always leave some food for us. But I know how to cook... and I do it well. I sometimes cook for my wife. But the truth is my wife never allow me to cook for myself. She do that herself.

I have a three year old little girl... I'm never home alone.

Depending on my mood I do usually cook at least 2 times a week while it's just me. Sometimes it's an egg sandwich other times it's pasta. Most of the time when I don't feel like cooking a eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or a bowl of cereal.

I like to cook for my family. I can cook indian (Bengali) dishes, chineese dishes. It is my pleasure and makes me happy when my husband, daughter and other relatives enjoy my preperation.

No, I don't cook for myself when home alone... unless I had a really strong craving for something I could only cook. Other than that, I would rather have food delivered or would buy a cooked meal at a nearby store. It's actually cheaper than buying all the ingredients needed just to make a meal for one mouth to feed. It also saves me the trouble of preparing a meal and the dishwashing that comes with it... hehe
