Hey ladies! I am definitely a #2. My FI should be on Top Chef or something. How about you?
My husband literally didn't know how to make grilled cheese when we moved in together. It's amazing he didn't starve in the seven years between leaving his parents' home and moving in with me. lol.
FI has occasionally started dinner for me (putting water onto boil, cooking onion or ground beef) but that's pretty much it.
We eat out about once or twice a month. It would be weekly or more if we lived in a bigger area... our options are pretty limited around here :)
It won't let me vote, but my FI cooks 7 days a week.
God Bless him.
I can't cook, but I do make a mean box of Velveeta Shells N Cheese!!!
DH usually cooks and is a very good cook. He really enjoys it! However I can cook, I just dont enjoy it as much!
In summer, he grills probably 3-4 times a week. I'll make the sides. Otherwise, it's generally me cooking, but I enjoy cooking and he doesn't. His cooking skills have definitely improved since we started dating though.
We pretty much split it evenly, depending on who has had a harder day. We cook together a lot too.
Of course, there's always frozen pizza if niether of us want to cook!!
FI is an amazing cook and he loves to do it. I enjoy cooking too. Because my FI gets home earlier than I do, he does the cooking on weekdays. If we do not go out to eat on the weekends, then I'm usually the one to cook meals then.
I cook and bake all of the major stuff; he knows how to use the microwave and fix cereal :-)
I am the one who cooks 80% of the time but if it were left up to him, we wouldn't necessarily starve but we would probably run out of money because we would be eating out most of the time.
The vast majority of the time, he cooks. In fact, he's currently in the kitchen, making dinner. However, when he cooks, we tend to have stuff like breakfast burritos, turkey sandwiches, etc - low-key food prep. When I cook, it means we're having people over and I'm usually in the kitchen for hours. So, he does the everyday cooking, I take care of the special event cooking.
despite my working longer hours we are very tradtional at home - i tell him when dinner is on the table ready. hubby only comes into my kitchen to get himself a drink
Are you kidding? If the cooking were left up to him me we'd starve! 
My guy does ALL the cooking and also does all the dishes!! He's a keeper!
ETA: Just in case you think I sit around doing nothing, I do all the other cleaning and the laundry. So, we think it's fair.
@ScooterBride: Same here! I have no culinary skills whatsoever. Luckily he loves to cook.
He doesn't like to cook. He can cook the basics if need be but he doesn't have to because I enjoy cooking. Plus, I don't want him messing up my good pots and pans, etc. Last Christmas he roasted a chicken on my new non-stick cookie sheet! Ugh!
He doesn't cook. He makes amazing coffee, and he will run the grill....but cook?? No way!
I make all of our dinners, and he does the dishes and packs up the leftovers. Perfect!
My SO doesn't know how to cook. So when he moves in, I'll be cooking, and teaching him how. Nothing like a little couples bonding time over the stove ;)
ETA - I seem to have forgotten a word
So true! We used to cook together a lot the first couple of years we were dating, and I actually really miss it. We're busier now, but that could be a fun "date night" activity!
That's crazy! My gift to future D/SILs: All of my future children will know how to run laundry and be at least passable cooks before they leave for college.
We usually cook together. Otherwise whoever is less busy will throw dinner together, and it's pretty evenly split between the two of us.
He cooks once in a very blue moon, and it's usually something like burgers, or wings (which he made tonight). He doesn't like to cook, and I love to, so I do probably 98% of the cooking in our house, and am fine with it.
@S.H.: That's really cute. I think it will make for some great times myself. I just need a bigger kitchen first ;)
I taught him how to grill, and now he's a grilling machine...
Ha. With FH it's like:
FH: So I'm hungry.
Me: Yeah? What do you want?
FH: Oh, I don't know...
Me: Okay...
*A while later...*
FH: What are you making for dinner?
Me: Well, you never told me what you want to eat.
FH: I don't know, just make something *cheeky grin*
And then I normally cook something while he lurks in the background making sure I'm "doing it right". Lol. Lucky I don't mind cooking :)
My FI cooks the most. His parents are caterers, so he's been around food and cooking all of his life. He comes up with all kinds of ideas for meals, and I'm so thankful! I can cook (I guess) but I have no clue WHAT to cook. So when he comes up with ideas, he is so excited that he starts cooking and shoos me out of the kitchen. Score! :)
I cook all the time. Sometimes, he will make some breakfast. But dinner? he has made dinner ONCE and we at at 11pm. It was frozen pasta!
Lucky for him I love cooking.
The only thing in my husband's fridge when I was at his apartment for the first time was condiments.
Yep.
That pretty much sums it up...
Unfortunately, i cook about 80% of the time. I hate cooking and FI loves cooking, but he gets home so late that if we waited for him to come home and cook we'd be eating dinner at 8:00 or later.
Me mostly, lately! He used to cook all of the time and now I have spoiled him and he is getting lazy.
@crayfish: If not for me, FI would survive solely on yogurt, granola bars, coffee and beer. :) That's all that was in his kitchen before me.
@thewheelsonthebus: Ha! Honestly, if I were just "cooking" for myself, those things would probably constitute 90% of my diet!
@sdrury89: That stinks, I'm sorry. We're sort of in the same boat but we eat late - usually 8:30-9:30. (Very European, I know ::looks suave::) And if I didn't cook dinner at least twice a week/ do some prep work for him we'd end up eating even later.
@MeAndDubby: Small kitchens are the best! So romantic! I mean, unless you're one of those people who gets anxious when in close proximity to inexperienced cooks wielding knives/hot pans.
Seriously, though, I feel your pain. I have the most amazing talent for cluelessly standing exactly where my FI will want to be in 30 secs. Drives him batty :D
LOL my kitchen has a floorspace of about 4 ft by like 10 ft. And barely any counter space. It sucks. I wouldn't mind a *bit* more space before taking on the adventure of two grown people in that space trying to cook.
Pre-me, he ate lots of fast food (re: burritos) and when he "cooked" the menu consisted of:
Celeste's Pizza
Quesadillas or
Salsa rice
It's possible there is more, but doubtful. I just asked him for list and that's where he stopped.
I would say I do a good 99% he grills when we do thats about it.
We don't live together . . . so it may be different after marriage . . . but at this point both my SO and I cook for each other. I probably cook just a tad more frequently than he does, but over all, we both make dinner for each other (and packed lunches if we're going some place for the day) fairly frequently. I'm more into details (using spices, making specific dishes, etc.) whereas he just grills meat, makes pasta, or boils frozen veggies. But, I see how much effort he puts into it when he does make me dinner, including lighting candles and using a table cloth (and once he even made me brownies -- he'd never baked a desert in his life before!) so I really am grateful that he puts the effort in and I don't feel like I'm always doing the cooking or that the dinners I make for him are taken for granted in any way. I really am blessed to have him!
I cook 95% of the time. I wouldn't mind this so much if I didn't also have to choose what we ate every single night and had to do all of the grocery shopping on top of it. When I feel inspired I LOVE to cook, but when I dont get home until 9:30 pm and have to be up at 8 I really don't feel like cooking dinner. Every once in a while Mister suprises me and makes dinner. He does a few things really well like breakfast or....well...that might be it. Then other times he just mixes together ground turkey, black beans, and rice. The boy would eat rice three times a day every day if I would allow it. I guess that's what I get for living with a boy who's granma grew up in Spain!
FI is in charge of all the grilling and the slicing of the pizza...lmao
Seriously, I do most of the cooking, usually he gets off work late, and obviously since I work third shift I'm already home to get it started. But he really is a grillin' machine, and he helps out however he can when he gets to the house.
We split the cooking pretty much 50/50. When FI cooks during the week it is very bland - meat and 3 veges, but at least its healthy!
He used to cook really yummy meals when we were first dating so I know he can do it! He doesn't bake much but I love baking.
