How often do you eat a home-cooked meal?
 

With all the food posts lately, I'm wondering how often you eat a meal that's made at home. Frozen pizzas, etc. don't count. I'm talking about a meal that takes some thought and time to make. Oh, breakfast is unique because cereal, toast, etc. are easy, so it's not a deal breaker. It's better than donuts, though.

I'd make a poll, but the options are overwhelming.

We'll figure 21 meals per week (you get the math I'm sure).

99% of the time.

Almost always. My wife loves to cook and kicks ass at it

Almost every night. Almost every daytime meal is restaurant.

Its a rare day when I dont have atleast one home cooked meal.

I love to cook and eating out/frozen foods are entirely too expensive to do regularly.

probably 4 dinners a week.

those are the nights I'll make a protein, starch, veggie etc. the other nights we'll 'scrounge' (as my dad would call it). sammiches, or left overs, etc.

Growing up, the only thing my mom would ever cook is methamphetamine. Since leaving my hometown, you'll only see eating a home meal if it's a special occasion.

You mean, like, food with ingredients and stuff?

I probably average 2 or 3 meals a week like that. I never have breakfast, and lunch is usually a frozen meal or restaurant salad. For dinner, I probably eat out 2 or 3 times a week, graze or have frozen meals 2 or 3 times a week, and have a simple cooked meal (e.g., grilled chicken and salad) 2 or 3 times a week. Edit: I guess my at-home meals aren't always simple. My wife makes some amazing "salads" pretty frequently that are not just lettuce types of things. They'll be "blueberry-corn salad" or "peach-corn" or "watermelon-arugula". They're amazingly good and also healthy. She gets the recipes from some secret place.

Do leftovers for lunch count as well? If so, approximately 13 times per week.

75-80%.

It depends on whether I'm home or not.

Absolutely. I do that all the time. In fact, we make extras just for lunch.
