I believe most of us are busy so I'm just wondering: do you still cook food every day? How often? Or you just buy ready-to-eat meal packs and have them heated in microwave..or fastfoods? Sometimes I can still cook food twice in a day but most of the time, once only. Thanks ALL for sharing!

I am a stay at home mom and have 4 kids. When they are at school I cook once a day. They have cereal in the morning so I don't consider that cooking, and I pack their lunches for them to eat at school. But at dinner time I make stuff. Sometimes we get fast food or something but I usually cook dinner. Last night we had tacos. Tonight we are having meatloaf and tomorrow will either be spaghetti or grilled chicken. It's funny, but I went grocery shopping yesterday and bought a bunch of meat and some potatoes. I was putting my groceries away yesterday and put the meat in the pan for the tacos and then I got out a bowl and mixed up the meatloaf ingredients with another package of beef and then molded it into its pan. Then I covered it overnight so it is easy tonight - all I have to do is pop it in the oven and it will be done. How easy is that? And I am sure that the flavors have all marinated so it will be really yummy!! Now, all I have to do is heat up some green beans and make some potatoes for the side dishes. Pretty easy, no fuss meal. And nutritious! Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

I cook dinner every night. I prepare every meal 3 times a day. It may not be cooked like ceral for breakfast or a sandwich for lunch. But I do not buy pre cooked food. It is not very good for you!!

Indeed. We just don't know what sort of preservatives or artificial flavorings these companies are adding to the stuffs they're selling. Thanks for the response.

I usually only cook once a day....dinner and we all sit together and eat. Sometimes on the weekends I'll cook breakfast or something for lunch, but usually my kids would rather have cereal for breakfast and peanutbutter and jelly for lunch.

Nowadays is so expensive to order take away so i prefer to cook at home three times aday so i can save money and the same time healthy foods. I do cook vegetable most of the time. We only order take away when both of me and my husband are tired from shopping. Happy posting.

Yeah, it's much economical and healthy to cook our own food all the time. We do this every weekend because we all have the time. Thanks for the time to share!
