Do you cook or zap?
#21
I do both, and take out, too. I usually cook 4 nights a week and take out three. I zap most all veggies and potatoes. When I'm home alone, my dinner is more often than not a bowl of cereal. On my job I am taken out to lunch far too often, so small dinners is the only way I can maintain any form of a waistline.

My DH is gone many evenings a week so I find it just as easy to eat a bowl of cereal or get some take out. When he is home and the girls are home from college I do more 'real' cooking. However, I love to use my mw whenever possible. I took a mw cooking class once and learned many tips. I think I could actually get by with just my mw, my elect. skillet and my grill.

I cook almost all the time. Everything is from scratch. But it takes a lot of time (that's why I don't get much quilting done). The only time I nuke is for a cup of tea or warm something quick up.

I sometimes acquire a cereal habit where I eat it once or twice daily, day after day.
Usually I eat "good for me" adult-type cereal but now and then for a treat I'll let a "Sugar Pops" or "Sugar Smacks" or "Rice Krispies" sneak in.....lol.
They still taste as good as when I was a kid eating them dry out of the box.
But that usually signals the end of my "cereal attack" then it's back to meat and potatos...lol
I feel one of them coming on soon!
When I'm in the mood for it, cereal is great!

I cook when I can. Other times I'm too busy to cook at home and I have to cook here at my daughters for the kids I babysit. My hubby and son (18) fend for themselves when I babysit, but both can cook. Of course they leave the mess for me!

I became a widow almost three years ago, and my adult kids all live in their own places. Somewhere along the line I have totally lost all my cooking skills. Mind you, I was never a GOOD cook, but it usually was edible. Now, nothing I try to make turns out. So, I nuke frozen food or pick something up on the way home.
