I ask this question almost every day. That is when I don’t have leftover for dinner. My kitchen is international. That means I cook not only German food but also Italian, Filipino, Korean and sometimes Chinese food.
Today, I don’t know what to cook. At the moment,I am not craving for potatoes or German food. Yesterday, we ate baked Penne pasta with mozzarella cheese. Maybe I should cook Filipino food,the one I have not eaten for months. I still have to think which one. I am glad hubby eats anything I cook.
How about you? Do you cook daily? What international food do you like to eat?
Anyway, have a nice Sunday wherever you are. Thank you for reading.

Coincidentally we also had baked penne for super last night.
We are going to go out for breakfast this morning.
I think that I will take a roast beef our to thaw for supper tonight.
We ordered another hind quarter of beef and we need to finish what we have so that it doesn't get mixed up when the new arrives.

@thelme55 I had poached eggs, fruit and a slice of toast. My hubby had a farmers omelette, home fries and toast. It was a nice meal out, we have not been out this year.
Its a beautiful sunny winter's day, so we took a nice drive afterwards.
Now, I have a load of laundry in the dryer and a roast beef with potatoes in the oven, not sure what we will have for a vegetable, but I will make baked apples for dessert.

Your photo of Penne pasta with mozzarella looks so yummy! We love it, with various types of pasta, with Italian meat sauce and Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top:)

I cook pretty much every day unless I am eating out or ordering in of course, which is rare. I cook all kinds of stuff. Even stuff I just make up.
Chinese food is probably one of my favorite ethnic cuisines. But I can't cook like we order it.

You sound like me @porwest. I seldom eat out or order food.
Chinese food is delicious and easy to make. Well, for me. I was sick twice due to food poisoning after eating in a Chinese restaurant. Maybe some of the ingredients like fish were already old or so. So, I only eat in a Chinese restaurant when I am invited by friends who love eating at the Chinese restaurant but I am always careful now.

That food looks good enough to eat...ha, ha. I cook most days. International food, probably all of it. I have had most cuisines at least once. I went to an Ethiopian restaurant last year, as I had not had that before. It was decent, but I didn't like that utensils were not provided, and they were out of at least a quarter of the things on the menu, including what I wanted to order. Don't think I would be too keen on going back to another.

I have eaten Egyptian food in an Egyptian restaurant with my hubby and friend years ago, I didn’t
Ike the food and so I didn’t try their food again. Thank you @snowy22315

I cook almost every day and my go to meals are generally basic meat and potatoes or Italian. I've never tried making Chinese food but I do like it.
I fall into the same problem of what to make pretty often,

We eat potatoes with meat twice a week as well as Italian food. The rest of days are Filipino or Chinese food.
Today, we had mashed potatoes with chicken meat and veggies.
Thank you @Marilynda1225. Have a nice weekend.

@everwonderwhy Yes, they are all delicious.
Thanks for sharing the link of the chicken soup with papaya. How I wish I can find green papaya here so I can make this Filipino soup.

@thelme55 I imagine that Filipino dishes you mentioned are delicious. I'll DuckDuckGo the chicken with green papaya. It must be deliciously special.

It's good you have a husband who eats anything. I don't think we have such a range of foods as you do.

I love soups of any kind. I cook daily and eat lunches outside at times. I love international foods too. You can try flatbread cheese.. it is nice. Or tandoori chicken for some spice.

Yum! I don’t cook every day. Usually, my mom is in charge of the kitchen

Yes, I cook most days, except Saturday when I have a day off and I let Mum cook for me. For pancake day I will make a Japanese style pancake. I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head, but it's really tasty.
