I do it because its necessary, I don't enjoy it, but I don't hate it. I need to eat, though.

I cook each and every morsel of food I eat because it's the ONLY way to avoid severe allergic and auto-immune reactions. Our food supply is highly toxic, contaminated and adulterated.

I enjoy looking up recipes and trying to make them occasionally. But sometimes, it just all depends on my mood.

When I learned that I am Celiac, we discovered my husband was either Celiac or gluten sensitive because he went on the diet with me and some issues resolved . I 've always loved to cook but often didn't feel I had time. Because of the importance of this diet, it became a priority to develop recipes as good or fttetrt than those with gluten. I''n finally there,! I t's an awesome feeling and makes cooking fun ad rewarding. Wish I had the stamina to open a true gluten-free restaurant!

Maybe you could let my husband know other people also clean as they go! LOL, as I am always trying to get him to do that.. After he's been in the kitchen it looks like we've been hit by a tornado! Although he's a wonderful chef & our dream is to own a restaurant one day soon.. :)

I love to cook. My daughter never ate store bought baby food since I made all her foods from our backyard garden and family farm. We have a deal in our household...I cook and my hubby does the dishes with our daughters help.

Your very fortunate to have the luxury of a farm at your finger tips. I just started gardening last year with a few things like tomatoes, lettuce, green beans & chives & this year I am going to expand my variety just not sure what to try next?. :)

My husband is a chef too it makes my life easier as for anything else related to the kitchen, I can cook & I do once in awhile just to create something for my family & to give the husband a break. Baking is something I enjoy too yet, my skills still need improving but, I do alright but, I'm no Betty Crocker yet either lol. :)

I'm going through a "not so into it" cooking phase right now - just other things to do with my kid and my kitchen is not so great. Also, food is so expensive at stores - it's almost cheaper to eat out. And I'm always on a diet, so cooking is not the best thing for dieting.

I'm in that phase as well. I didn't mind cooking in our old house with a much better kitchen. We bought an OLD (96 year old) house with a kitchen that just doesn't function. We had dreams of moving the kitchen back to the original location. (years ago someone moved the kitchen to the side PORCH!) Cooking now is just a nightmare. I have NO counter space and the layout of my kitchen is impossible.

I know what you mean. One day we really wanted hamburgers but it was too late for me to start buns so we had to get some from the store (which is a 10 min walk away) and my son's first time eating store bought buns. He hated it, he picked the bun off and ate the meat and cheese, lol.

I love cooking and baking! I wasn't always like this. I ate frozen food, I ate hamburger helper. I was amazed that anyone would make hamburger buns each and every time they wanted burgers. Now here I am, making mac and cheese from scratch, helpers taste awful, I make buns every time I want burgers, making bread is an easy process with maybe 10-15 mins of actual work, we haven't had a frozen pizza in years because I make them. I love kneading bread, the steady rhythm. Cooking/baking is so peaceful, it makes me happy. And I love when it's done seeing my family so happy with the results. And I like that my toddler is eating good, healthy, home made foods.

Since I hate doing dishes, I don't like to cook. If I could have two sinks (one to wash in and one to rinse in), I might like cooking more. The lack of space doesn't help much either.

I don't like to cook, dinner time is the worst part of my day. Every now and I enjoy it, what I really don't like is the clean up. With four kids someone always wants something different and is unhappy with what is cooked. Can't please everyone. And I don't really have a lot of time, but it has to be done. I guess if I didn't have to cook everyday, then I wouldn't mind it so much.

I cook for my husband every night but I usually eat leftovers or quick things during the day since I don't like cooking for just myself. I don't do the cookbook thing, I've gathered recipes in my head from lots of friends and family and occasionally I'll see something online I want to try. I don't remember the last time I had to refer to a recipe to cook something :P

I had a small cooking budget in my youth. Then I discovered the local agricultural co-op extension. It tells you how to create magic with the basic agricultural ingredients of you state. I found the webpage for WA state. http://extension.wsu.edu/health/nutrition/Pages/default.aspx
Also check out vintage cookbooks from 40s and 50s. Wartime cooking was amazingly thrifty.

Black Garlic with Scallops Recipe

Even if you don’t have black garlic, this is a simple recipe for scallops. Just substitute the black garlic with regular garlic. Just don’t expect any nooky tonight, unless you’re both having the dish!3 tablespoons butter, divided
16 extra-large dry-packed scallops, patted very dry (about 1 ½ pounds)
salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves black garlic, thinly sliced (or use regular garlic)
1-2 teaspoons finely minced jalepeno pepper
¼ cup white wine
2 teaspoons good balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Heat a large frying pan with just 2 tablespoons of the butter over high heat. Season the scallops with salt and pepper, and when the butter is bubbling, gently lay the scallops in the pan, not touching. Sear the scallops and cook for 4 minutes, turning once. They should have a lovely golden brown color on both sides. Transfer to a platter.

To the same hot pan on high heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the garlic slices and the jalepeno pepper and fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the white wine and the balsamic vinegar into the pan. Let simmer for 1 minute, season with salt and pepper and add the fresh parsley. Pour over scallops.

I enjoyed it more when my older 2 kids were still at home. They were enthusiastic eaters and enjoyed most everything I made and even got really excited about some things. The youngest one is still at home and is much, much pickier although appreciative of things I make that she does enjoy. I have been cooking for husband so long he rarely remembers to express any thanks or enthusiasm anymore. Plus no one at my house ever got the memo that when I cook they wash dishes. (eye roll)

As someone that has been washing dishes since I was tall enough to reach the sink from a chair, that's a bad assumption. I refuse to do dishes now, because of that. Instead, I'd rather take the cooking myself. I'm just fortunate in the fact that my husband will actually do the darn dishes.
