I actually did that on New Years Eve and Day, I prepared Chicken Alfredo pasta bake, I hope to do it again one day, and we had chicken leftover from that so we used up one of the Enchilada kits the next day and boy was it good

Fairly often, I always make my own breakfast while lunch and dinner are closer to 50-50 between preparing my own meal from scratch vs heating up a pre-cooked meal or ordering takeout. During the pandemic, I was cooking a lot more often and trying out new recipes I came across online. I really want to experiment with making new meals as frequently as I did back then, but my life is busier now and food ingredients are more expensive than ever before.

SacredShadow: Not gonna lie I actually encouraged my parents to try some recipes I wanted (because we couldn't eat out and we don't have the food delivery apps) some didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped, the following year something inside me woke up as Oliveri introduced a line of Skillet Gnocchis (something easy to cook)

So seeing how breakfast is 95% of the time a yogurt and chocolate milk sometimes i make some toast but not often, lunch is normally either frozen chicken and fries or frozen pizza, and then dinner if I'm home is whatever my grandparents make which normally is a nice home cooked meal or if im at work club crackers, meaning I myself almost never cook from scratch currently.

Almost always. I've made it a habit so as to not rely on pre-cooked meals, it's a temptation when you're low on energy but in the end it makes me fall into an endless pit and I have a hard time getting out.

Since my girlfriend spends the weekends at my place, we also cook for both lunch and dinner. Some times we do take seconds and finish everything, but other times we also make dinner out of it (even with seconds on rare ocassions). And since she knows I normally prepare easy meals as I don't have much time during the week, she likes to leave me some good food for later because she does try different recipes and spices on everything she prepares.

Other than that, only very rare ocassions in which we order something or retort to pre-made meals, mostly when we have a meeting at home with friends. And even in the latest meetings we already had our dinner ready from the lunch, so yeah.

I do plan on cooking more during this year, see if I get the motivation to try things and spices so I can get out of usual routine. I have a good teacher during the weekends, and things will only improve from here on.

I wish I had the time on my hands needed to do scratch more often, but my mother insisted that I don't do any additional cooking projects til Spring....or when dad starts to do stuff at the Garden whichever comes first

Rarely, and when I do, it's simple stuff like Mac and cheese or soups. Most of my meals are instant or microwavable stuff that I add extra ingredients to, or I eat out. I don't think my kitchen is too well equipped for full cooking.

Not as much as I should. I love cooking and making up my own recipies, so if I wasn't so tired all the time, I would probably cook every night.

At this point though, probably no more than once a week. After a long day, the last thing I want to do is cook a fancy meal. So I go to the easy meals, frozen things, or very simple pastas.

Recently I did another scratch thing....sort of, the scratch part was in the decorating department

My wife and I cook our own meals pretty much every day. Sometimes we'll take a shortcut, like using frozen chicken tenders in a recipe (Disney has a super discounted store for employees and Kenzie can buy a 5-pound bag of chicken tenders there for like $12), but we rarely ever order food or buy pre-made meals that just need to be heated.

Well taco bell is finally selling their meal kits in Canada....so I will be treating my parents to tacos during Victoria Day weekend

My wife is from Bangladesh, so almost everything she makes is from scratch, and everything I make is, as she calls it, "American junk."
