3 times a day 7 days a week on average only when totally forced will we go out to eat. Cooking is fun.

1 - 4 times a week I live alone. That means that anything I make, I'll probably be eating for the next few days. I cook something daily, even if it is just making the museli for my breakfast or baking a pan of brownies.

I love, love, love to cook. Making an entire meal, however, happens far less often because (as a person who lives alone) I end up with a lot of leftovers. Usually I cook a meal about every other day.

Some weeks I'll make a quiche or pie type thing that makes lunch and dinner for the entire week (and by the end of the week I never want to see it again! ). More often, I do not.

I guess in some way, I don't actually consider it a "home cooked meal" unless it is dinner. I make my lunch 4 days during the work week (on the weekend I eat far less regularly) but I don't really consider it "making" the meal - it's usually leftovers anyway.

All of them, with occasional exceptions Though I enjoy eating out, I’m middle-aged now and I want my doctor to take my concerns seriously, so I have had to buckle down on my health which means, for me, eating and exercise. My cholesterol was high on my Healthy You check-up in February. I don’t want to take the statin drugs, so I’ve eliminated all partially hydrogenated foods from my diet.

I read labels all the time now. And, I’ve eliminated nearly all "bad" fats from my diet. I do put about an inch piece of bacon into my pinto beans, there’s nothing that beats the flavor it adds.

Because of mild high blood pressure, I’ve learned to enjoy almost everything without salt. Since we need some salt in our diet, and some cholesterol, I do let a few things slip through the cracks and when I eat out, I just don’t add salt and use very little butter. I eat lots of legumes, vegetables and fresh fruits and very little meat.

I live alone.

Nearly every night... We only go out once or twice a month, so while we have a bunch of simple shortcut meals, we’re generally hauling out the pans. Since we’re doing a lot of the Localvore thing, most of what we’re fixing is more or less scratch, but we don’t get all that elaborate very often--unless we’re something with the wild game my spouse brings home--that’s special, and deserves some fuss over it. At least 1 night a week, I make homemade pizza.

We buy rice in 50lb bags, and I’ll bake a couple of cups when I do our bread on the weekend, so the cooked rice is available to add to things, waiting in the fridge. We do a lot of pasta, with vegetables and some light sort of sauce and home-cooked dried beans. We don’t eat a lot of meat.My spouse will cook breatfast every morning--and we do special stuff on the weekends, and I’ll cook ahead, so I can grad a homemade item or two and run.

I’m not home for lunch, but I generally take leftovers. My spouse eats a BIG breakfast, has a snack mid-day, and dinner.SO I’d say out of 14 meals we actually eat, we probably put something together for 7, leftovers for 4, and 3 grab stuff I made ahead TO grab. We eat less and cook less in the summer--too bloomin’ hot in the house to want to heat it up, but we still put stuff together at home.

It just generally is served at a much lower temp, or is very quickly cooked. Here's one of my favorite make-ahead breakfast items.. Oatmeal-Banana Waffles 2 cups oatmeal 2 cups water 2TB maple syrup or homey 1 tsp vanilla 1/2 tsp salt 1 whole banana Whirl in a blender until smooth. Bake for 10 minutes in a hot waffle iron.

I used 10 cups last weekend, making Aussie Bites and Banana Oatmeal waffles, for make-ahead breakfasts..

6 days per week sometimes 7. Eating out or getting take-out is not cheaper than buying and cooking your own food. I cook a lot of meals in bulk that I can freeze, eg. If I buy 2 pounds of ground beef, I can make at least 5 meal's worth of spaghetti sauce to feed my family of 4 (including myself).

That's not eating the same thing everyday of course, that'd be incredibly boring. When I cook a meal and the leftovers can't be frozen, my husband will often take it to work for lunch the next day, or I'll have it for lunch. If I make say a roast chicken, roast beef or a leg of lamb, I will use the leftovers.

If it's beef, I'll make a Cottage Pie (what american's mistakenly call Beef Shepherds Pie. The last time I looked, shepherds herd sheep, not cows! LOL) If it's lamb I'll make Shepherds Pie.

If it's chicken I'll combine the leftover meat with cream of chicken soup and sour cream, heat that up in a saucepan and serve it on a bed of rice. It's also good with mushrooms, but I don't use those much coz the kids won't eat 'em. I also have a great recipe for chunky chicken pie that goes down very well, and the leftovers can be frozen from that one, so that chicken can go a long way.

Also, by using fresh ingredients I know exactly what's in the food my family is eating. There's quite a sense of satisfaction in preparing, cooking and eating meals I've made from scratch myself. Also coming from Australia, cooking your own meals everyday is the normal thing to do, eating out is something you might do on the odd occasion, birthday's etc. Sources: personal experience .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
