Just curious, who does most of the cooking in your house!

As for us, MH does almost all of the cooking. He's much better than I am, and he actually enjoys it.
I cook when he's away, or when he is too busy.
I do all the baking (which is not much).

I do most of the cooking. DH cooks if I'm not home, or if we grill (rare).

When we were first together MH did all the cooking, he enjoyed it and was good at it.
For some reason his patience and ability to time everything is broken. So since we have to eat I've taken over.
I prefer baking though.

Mostly me. Dh will usually do the grilling, but I do some of it too. But he does 90% of breakfasts on the weekends- pancakes, eggs, etc.

When M was born it was 50/50 because we'd switch off nights. After H was born it's mostly MH and sometimes me. He loves to cook though.

If I have something easy on the meal plan that requires little to no prep, A will cook. And he does all the grilling. He likes to make breakfast on the weekends too. But I do 95% I would say. But I went to culinary school. So I have to use that degree somehow lol.

I almost answered "Cook? What's that?". Truth is I don't cook much, but if cooking is being done it's usually me. Since my surgery we mostly fly solo for dinner and I make my own thing and he often gets takeout or eats leftovers. I loathe cooking and DH gets home at 7:30 and just wants to eat.

I cook 100% of the time, unless I'm not there for some reason. We used to trade off every other night, but MH insists on using a timer for EVERYTHING and it always ends up overcooked, so I started doing it all the time instead.

We cook 50/50 we both like to cook, so it's just who's home earliest that day. I come up with the meal plan most of the time.

DH actually likes to cook and I don't but on workdays, he's home too late. If we are both home, he will cook.

I put 100% me, but it is mostly 98% me. If we grill, then he sometimes does it.

oh yeah, I forgot about weekend grilling. So I guess it's 98% me as well.

Dh cooks mostly but I do occasionally. I do all the baking. I usually do all the meal prep if it's going to be complicated.

I cook 100% of the time. Mostly to cut down on kitchen fires and reduce the likelihood of starvation.

Mostly me. MH cooks breakfast because I'm not a big on breakfast. Sometimes if it's something easy like tacos, I'll let him do it so I don't have to, but it's rare.

MH does the cooking here. Sometimes I heat food up - like if we're having a frozen pizza. =D

I chose {I do most/H does some}. H does the grilling and really enjoys cooking, but I tend to do it while he spends time with the kids after work-- I need a break from parenting at that point in the day. He will do prep work and cooks more on weekends.

We eat out about 50% of the time. Maybe more.
But when we don't I cook 100%
My H cooks himself eggs every now and then but that's about it.
When we move and have an outdoor space I plan on making him grill a lot

Pete cooks about 5 times a year when my cramps are out of control and I can't get off the couch.
Once in awhile he insists I need a break and we should get take out. This is pretty rare. We probably only eat out about twice a month.
