I take only 2 minutes to prepare my lunch, because quite often I have Maggi noodles for my lunch and it takes only 2 minutes to prepare them.

Most of the stuff I eat takes less than 15 minutes to prepare. However if I am cooking a special meal I try to take a little more time since I will not be the only one eating. Those meals can take up to an hour to prepare. I really do not like making food that takes longer than that to get ready.

I usually only take like 15 or 20 minutes to make dinner unless I am making something special than I might take a half an hour or more. It reallyjust depends on what we are having. TOnight I made an antipasto which took a little bit of preperation, and some garlic bread with it. I think it just took about 25 minutes for everything.

It all depends on what I am preparing. Sometimes I make quick meals, like sandwiches or cereal that have only a couple minutes preparation time, if that. Other times I might make lasagna or chili or something else that may take hours. For dinner it could be a quick meal of only 10 or 15 minutes to prepare, while other meals might take much longer and even span a couple hours to make. It really all depends.

Of course it does depend on what meal and of course what you are having to eat that night. If it is something like chicken with pasta and cut up vegetables then of course that does take time, but no more than 30 minutes because then i would be aggravated and not want to do anymore. I want to cook and have dinner with in two hours and it be good. I don't understand how you take two hours just to prepare for a meal. I mean yeah when the food is cooking i do the dishes too so i don't have so much to clean up after eating, but two hours to prepare for a meal is quit long when it isn't a holiday dinner.

Hello friendship4lyfe this is checkmail and don't require much time for preapring any meal.When preparing vegetarain meals its about minimum half hoiur to one hour time taken, and in Non-vegetarian meals it takes one hour to two hours to prepare it.If planning some special meals in veg and n-vegs like which needs marination it takes upto 7-8 hours.Normally even preparing breakfast is easy and is done in 15 to 20 minutes or max half hour.
