My kitchen is so tiny I can barely even get in there and I often think how nice it would be if me and hubby could cook meals together. Wht about you and yours? do you whip up delicious meals together?

He doesn't really cook like me, so that's a no. But he is very good with grilling hamburgers and steaks and porkchops, which I am not very good at. I end up burning it. So that's his job and cook and bake is mine.. We still complement each other, i think..lol

We cook together on the weekends and it's nice to have someone to talk to while preparing food. He's not into cooking as much as me, but he is happy to hang out and slice vegetables or stir things.

Thanks for all your great responses! I was busy all day yesterday so couldn't get back on here but I have read each and evey one of yours. You're a great bunch of folks and I'm glad you have a guy that cooks for you. For the ones that don't, OH well, I'm sure he has other attributes lol.

I'll be totally honest with you. I'd rather cook by myself than have him help me! lol! I love him, I really do, but he just annoys me in the kitchen! I know how I like to do things, and I want them done the way I've always done them... We've been married for 21 years and I've always done 95% of the cooking. He'll occasionally make dinner if I'm not going to be home, but that's not very often.

I really don't like to have people around in my kitchen when I cook..it makes me anxious. I like to whip my own meals together. On few occassions, my husband has tried to help and in the amount of time it takes him to peal a potato I can have most of the meal ready...he is very precise, careful and measures everything and I am all about a dash of this and a dash of that and a bunch of this and a little of that. I basically open my fridge, close my eyes, take out 5 items and make it a meal. He doesn't work like that ...so needless to say, we don't cook together.

I have to say that yes, my hubby and I can frequently be found cooking a meal together in the kitchen! We are a good team, bouncing ideas off each other. We are trying diligently to eat a more healthy diet and we have both been reading on ways to eat more healthy. He is more of a daredevil than myself. I read and get ideas and he is willing to try them! I am more of a 'soul food' cook, having grown up in the deep south. He didn't cook much until we met, so he is a more 'modern' cook. Together, we can really make it happen! ha !
