I wish that I had more time to cook at home but am not blessed with that luxury.  I love to cook and my kids love the closeness that sitting at the dinner table provides.  Unfortunately, with work/sports/kids activities, we end up going out to eat alot.  We like to have one nice dinner out at a restaurant at least once a week...trying new restaurants is an adventure that we all enjoy.  My son has started picking resipes out of the cook book and cooking them on Wednesdays. I do Mondays and my wife does Sundays.  My daughter is jammed with homework but tries something every once and awhile.

To be honest, I can't cook at all.  I prefer to have takeout delivered to me.  I order Chinese food from a place near my house on a pretty regular basis.

I really like cooking at home.  Food seems to taste better when I cook it at home vs going out...except maybe for some deserts where going out is the better choice.  Also, I like collecting easy to make recipes, so the meals are homemade, but don't take hours to prepare.

Yesterday I made myself some homemade cinnamon roasted peanuts that are soooo addictive.  Way better than the store bought ones.  Tonight I'm going to try to make homemade kettle corn.  mmmmm

I love to cook for my family and find that very fulfilling. My kids also love to go out for dinner and so we also do that once in a while.

We used to eat out frequently but since I have not been working we only go out for special occasions.It is easy to recreate some of your favorite restaurant and take out items and costs a lost less.

I cook at home all the time now.  The food tastes a lot better and is a lot cheaper than eating out all the time.

I like to go out to eat from time to time. However, I can't really afford regular restaurant visits, so I just try to get creative with my cooking at home.  :wave:

Prefer to eat at home than go out and waste money on food that you can also make at home. But once every now and than I'll eat out.

I cook at home, we go out on special occasion and since it is just the two of us, sometimes we just eat at home.

We mostly eat at home, if we go out we usually eat from the dollar menu.

Most of the time I cook but I do go out occasionally and with my kids busy sports schedule it is a necessity to eat out at times.

I try to cook at home as often as I can but inevitably with my schedule I end up going out to eat quite often.  It is so much more expensive to go out but generally easier and more convenient.
