re: Do you cook meals at home?

I cook at home no less than 5 times a week. My meals are mainly for dinner during the week and on weekends when the wife is off work I also fix breakfast for us.

After the wife leaves for work in the morning I usually pick on some fruit or munch on some leftovers from the night before and don't eat again until dinner.

We hardly ever eat fast food or take-out.


The meals I cook are stovetop, oven or grilled and prepared from scratch, usually in sufficient quantity to allow me to put some in the freezer for later use when I don't feel like cooking.

Last night I cut up and fried a whole chicken and smothered down some large diced potatoes with onions sprinkled with salt, pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika.

Tuesday nights I leave to go play darts with some league players so I'll eat leftovers when I get back home and the wife will probably eat red beans I took out from the freezer and make some fresh rice.

I plan on cooking beef stew for tomorrow night with potatoes, carrots and peas in a rich brown gravy over rice.

I'm grilling strips of chicken breasts for Thursday and having them in a big salad of romaine, cucumber, celery, carrots, tomatoes, salad olives, green onion, sweet basil and parsley topped with a homemade salad dressing.
