I would say in our house it's mostly 60/40 with my hubby doing more of the cooking, but it just depends on the week. How about you, who does most of the cooking in your house?
My FI loves to cook! So I can't wait for him to move in and make me yummy food all the time.. My mom told me I was lucky to find a guy that cooks so I won't starve LOL
We like to cook together, but lately I've been cooking a lot. Right now we're at about 80/20 but we're usually 50/50. :)
I am. If I didn't cook we would eat Shrimp Ramen and Garlic Pasta Secret every night...
I make all the savory food and Mr. Peng makes most of the desserts! I don't eat sweets, so basically he's learned that if he wants baked goods he has to make them on his own. He's been getting a lot of use out of our KitchenAid!
My FI loves to cook, so he does most of the cooking. I would say he does 80% of the cooking.
When I was working, I worked retail so I worked nights and weekends. My husband did most of the cooking then. Now that I'm not working, we cook together. He loves to cook and I really enjoy cooking together.
We both are! We have a lot of fun with cooking for and with each other. I am the baker though.
99.9 percent me and i love it!! my culinary skills are friggin' awesome now!! i can look in the kitchen and make a meal out of barely anything... however if I am feeling under the weather, he definitely steps up and man he can cook yummy foods...
I am! Thought tonight the honey's making me a BLT!
I love to cook so I do most of it, and since I'm home earlier it makes sense. The fi CAN cook though, but sometimes makes honest mistakes like cooking cucumbers because he thought they were squash, or adding yogurt instead of cream to a dish.. hehe.
My FI loves to cook...I say its 60/40 with him cooking the majority of the time.
I'm laaaaaaaaaaazy
@Lillindy oh thank gosh I don't like sweets! I can't imagine what I'd look like if I liked both salty AND sweet junk food! Hahaha. People usually think I'm crazy.
True story: I met Mr. Peng's step mom for the first time like 9 years ago (wow 9 years) and LITERALLY the second question she asked me was "Do you like chocolate????" (She is a major chocoholic and always has a king sized bag of M and Ms in her purse... "just in case" ... and also a costco sized bag in the fridge... always!) Anyway, I said, "um... no not really" and she looked at me like I was an ALIEN!!! I'm pretty sure that was the first time she ever heard anyone say "No I don't really care for chocolate" in her life. She thought we'd have a very hard time getting along after my answer. Luckilly we've found a lot of other things in common :) hehe
Haha, too funny Pengy! I used to not really be into sweets and if I was could care less for chocolate. Now, I crave it like it's a freaking drug!
I'm definitely the cook but we order in a lot because we don't like very many of the same foods. I'd like to eat healthy (and try!) but he won't go near a vegetable or any other healthy foods. I once used prepared spaghetti sauce that had small pieces of red and green pepper in it, he almost started to cry and I had to make another jar of sauce. He's such a baby and won't try anything new but I'll eat anything and have the belly to prove it.
Its about 80/20 in our house, with my FI doing most of the cooking. I used to be in charge because he really couldn't cook when we met, but now he is because he has school and work during the day while mine are all at night, so he is usually in charge of making our dinner when I return home too tired and hungry to function. In the years we've been together, he has become a great cook! I love his food and look forward to his experiments (for the most part). I do however refuse to eat certain things like saukraut, olives, rye bread, etc. So he gets frustrated that he can't make certain things he'd like to (I said he can, I just won't eat them.).
We both still live with our parents- so we only cook when no one else is home. I think it'll be about me cooking 90% of the time. At least that's what I think right now :)
I cook once a year--his birthday. Because I rarely do it, I go all out on his bday and cook a big gourmet meal. I HATE cooking, so he pretty much does it all the time. If I'm home alone, I will either order takeout or make one of the easy things I know how to do (cereal, pancakes or scrambled eggs, pretty much).
Baking is another story. I love to bake. I like it because it's methodical--you follow the recipe and it turns out the way it's supposed to. There's no adding a dash of this or that AND you don't have to worry about giving your family food poisioning if a cake is underdone. ;)
90/10 me.
But since we've been married I've enforced a new rule: He has to make dinner now once a week and it has to require him doing dishes (i.e., no frozen pizza, no delivery, etc). He's getting better at it too :)
i do more cooking i guess... we don't cook alot, for dinner we make sandwiches and canned soup. ha! i'm trying to up my kitchen cooking / baking skills... this weekend i'm making brownie pops!
He loves cooking and is slowly teaching me how. I'm paranoid that I'll cut or burn my hands so I need his encouragement, but I really enjoy baking. :)
When we first started dating he did all the cooking. Over time it was 50/50, now I think it's more 60/40 with me doing more.
I do most of the cooking. My FH does breakfast on the weekends and is a master at the grill. Everything else I do. I LOVE to cook, so I dont mind. I also LOVE to bake, so my stove/oven is always on. lol.
I'm the cook -- particularly on complex or creative stuff -- but my FI ain't bad either and usually cooks once or twice a week. Plus, he always washes up.
I would say 70/30 me.
It's a little more complicated because he often has to make a part of the meal himself because I don't eat meat. So while I'm making a tofu dish, he's grilling chicken...but then I make the other side dishes that we can both eat.
We both are total foodies and LOVE to cook (it's what we first bonded over). I generally cook on weekdays, as he gets home much later than me. He cooks me fabulous fests on the weekends.
Since FI is still on a job hunt, he's been the cook. He likes to experiment, which is fun and has only resulted in a few "we won't be making that again" dinners. I'm ever so grateful for him stepping up to that challenge. Working full time and coming home to throw together dinner, do homework, baths , and bed routines was a tough job.
Me! I make 100% of the meals in this house. When we met, he was the cook and I was the girl who burned toast, but now that we're married and I'm underemployed I've turned into a total foodie. He can cook like a charm, but I'm more interested in branching out and trying new, complicated dishes (plus I have the time for all of it, lol). Even better, he does 100% of the dishes! We're both very happy with this arrangement. :-)
I am the true cook, but he loves it now, too and lately he has been cooking more than me. I've taught him a bunch of recipe and tips. Sometimes we cook together. We are doing the entire Thanksgiving meal this year, which will be interesting. I've got it planned out to prep as much as possible and make the pies the day before.
I love to cook so I definitely do more of the cooking. There are 1 or 2 meals he ALWAYS cooks but most of the time its me. We also have pizza nights where I will make the pizza (we use Trader Joes pizza dough) but he puts in on the grill, checks it and cuts it) so he says we are both cooking then :)
I really enjoy cooking and so for the last five years I have done most of it with FI as my "sous chef." For the last eight months though, he has been getting home two hours earlier than me and has been doing all of the cooking during the week, with me cooking on weekends. We just got a car for me (yay!) so now I am able to get home much earlier and cook again. I am happy and so is he.
I get off work at 4pm every day (unless I work OT) so I anticipate being the cook most of the time when we live together full time. However, so far for this month of living together, I would say that while I've done 90% of the cooking, he always asks how he can help and he always (ok, almost always ^_^) initiates clean up and does most of the dishes.
But I really like to cook for the most part, so it doesn't bother me. I do get grumpy nights where I'm hungry and can't think of anything to make and don't want to bother, and when I'm by myself that's a take out night or a tortilla with cheese and lunch meat, so we'll see how that goes and what Mr Spin steps up to the plate to make. :)
90% me, 10% FI. I'm hoping this changes when we live together because he will be working from home (and able to at least start dinner).
Hands down he is, but I'm the one that's great at ordering take-out!! :)
We're also about 80/20 in our house. I have limited time when I get home since I get up super early, I go to bed early, so the last thing I want to do is spend my time cooking during the week. And my FI is much more creative in the kitchen.
We both love it, depends on whatever is going on that week or day. His hours are crazy lately, so I've been doing more of the cooking -- but then again he's never home to eat it!
