Probably around 6 days a week...I have a bad habit of eating fast food but I'm trying to stop to save money.

Either five or six days. Sundays we go to Gramma's house, and we'll occasionally order out once during the week.

We almost always make our meals from scratch at home.

I cook two or three days a week. I wish it was more, but boyfriend and I both work closing shifts at different restaurants, neither of us wants to cook dinner at midnight after cooking all day.

I'm not really into cooking. I'm more into microwaving, lol.

We cook just about every meal, eating out is sort of like a luxury for us. It certainly does not help that the closest food joint is ten miles away.

The wife pretty much cooks everything with the exception of meat, she makes me cook all of that. Not sure why, she can cook it just as good.

I usually cook 6-7 days a week, and I tend to use my own recipes. However, if I find myself repeating meals, I'll look up recipes online.

I agree! Thankfully my boyfriend does the majority of the cleanup since I do all the cooking. I absolutely hate doing dishes.

I only cook a little, BUT... I'm in college, so that makes a difference. I'm sure I'll be cooking more soon!

Currently once, but I live at home so other people cook dinner.

I try to cook at least 6 days per week. Eating out is expensive and my husband is not a talented cook.

I try and cook as much as possible since I'm at home often though it's mostly for myself because no one else in the house will eat what I make. I'm trying to eat healthier so I've been watching what I eat by cooking everything myself.

We cook every day! We don't eat many pre-prepared meals like canned soup, mixes or frozen meals, almost everything we eat is homemade from scratch.

I cook 3 - 5 times a week, the hubby cooks 2 -4 times a week and we average to eat out about once a week. 50 - 50 on using recipes and using our own. The hubby does all of the cooked breakfasts and he is creative. I also love to bake and I do it as often as I can.

It varies. Five to seven. It all depends on how much leftovers we have. Sometimes, there's just so many leftovers, so I don't cook for a few days so we can whittle them down. Otherwise, I try to cook every day.

I throw something together at least four days a week. Sometimes, I'm lucky and my boyfriend cooks!

If I'm making something new I go off a recipe. Once I make it enough times to know the recipe by heart, I might start to add my own touch.

I use recipes I find sometimes, other times I use my own recipes. It depends on the week, the time of year, lots of things...for how often I cook in a week. Some weeks I'll make a ton of stuff, freeze some of it and have a bunch of leftovers for the next week. So there are week that I don't really do much cooking at all.

We probably cook a full meal about 3 times a week. The rest of the week is mostly convenience items (pre-made lasagne that just needs baked, frozen pizza, a quick tossed salad, etc).

I usually use recipes I find, but I almost always start changing them to suit my tastes. Sometimes to the point where my tried and true version of something we make all the time no longer resembles the original recipe...

Not very often. When I do cook, it's usually a late lunch. We work in the evenings so that cuts into dinner time.

Right now, none since we are not moved in to our home yet. But I normally like to try cooking every night, but my mom cooks some nights too so I don't have to every night. Sometimes I'll just whip something together, sometimes I'll take advantage of something found on Pinterest. I use Pinterest for a lot of my baking.
