re: Do you cook more or eat out more?

I'm eating roast beef sammich tonight

I'm like Bella with being easy during the week and doing it bigger on the weekends

Tonight I’m eating a turkey sandwich. I are to damn much this weekend at Jazzfest. Vincent’s take out tomorrow since we have a waitr delivery credit since my late night pizza never made it to my house over the weekend.

Lets see, I grow a garden that is around 40,000 square feet, I raise fruit trees and use wild fruit like blackberries for preserves,I also have 3 fig trees that I make fig preserves from. I also raise chickens for eggs, I make and smoke my own homemade bacon, sausage, tasso,meat sticks, and for fresh sausage I make breakfast sausage, fresh green onion sausage, fresh italian sausage and chorizo. I also fish a good bit, catch crabs and occasionally catch my own shrimp.
I absolutely love to cook so it was a natural extension for me to grow and process as much as my own food as possible.

We dine out probably 5-6 times a week, including lunches. Obviously sometimes more and sometimes less. Usually one dinner during the week (Monday-Thursday), and Friday/Saturday night. Lunches vary more than dinner.

I cook. I maintain a strict diet. Take out food is a treat.

does Daddy buy?

I cook 2-3 times a week, making enough to have leftovers a couple of days per week. I normally will eat out on the weekends and meet friends on Tuesdays for oysters.

Preface this by saying I have 2 young kids.

Typical Week:

Sunday: brunch or lunch somewhere after church. cook a big meal Sunday evening that lasts for leftovers until about Wednesday. I either cook stuff I know I’m good at like gumbo, jambalaya, spaghetti, etc.... ir I venture to cook something new or something I haven’t had in a long time. I admit, I’m a pretty good cook.
Monday - Wednesday: pick something up for lunch. Occasionally I go home and eat leftovers or have a sandwich.
Thursday: usually cook one of the quick easy meals. Lemon molasses and garlic chicken thighs, veggie side, or shake and bake pork chops, taco dinner kit, etc.... sometimes a combo of these meals replaces Sunday big cook.
Friday: we have 2 kids so if we don’t get a sitter, we usually Waitr something or pick up Sushi.
Saturday: I’ll invite whoever wants to come over and fire up the joe. Steaks, burgers, pizza, smoked meats, salmon, etc.... it’s all fair game and I look to smoke/grill something new when I can.

Typically we eat at a sit down restaurant once a month, maybe twice.

Cook during the weekend and freeze for consumption during week. Microwave is its normal beast mode.

Going out is a variable but weekend prep work allows us flexibility
