Years ago I gave my husband a bread machine and he used it so much he wore it out. We're on our 2nd machine and since his birthday is this month, I think I'll give him a new one.
He loves making out bread; it so good and only occasionally do we buy white bread, usually for sandwinches. There's nothing in the world better than a peanut-butter-and-whatever on soft, cushiony white bread. Yum!

My husband is in a nursing home so it's just me and my elderly beagle. Once each week I cook some plain chicken or turkey for us to share. That's all the cooking I do. In between it's Lean Cuisine, Healthy Choice, etc. I do eat fresh fruit and veg but that's not cooking.

Yes, I still cook. I don't eat dairy or grains and I have to watch my weight and cholesterol. We eat a lot of fish, turkey and chicken. I make my husband lasagna, stuffed shells and prime ribs. I refrain but he needs the calories. He lifts weights and is very active.
Tonight I am cooking roasted chicken with 🥦 vegetables 🥕. He will have homemade mashed potatoes, I will have a small salad with fresh from the garden cucumbers and tomatoes. I usually use an olive oil and vinegar dressing, freshly made.
I like fresh food and I cook out of necessity. Few restaurants around here cater to my dietary needs.

I am retired for the past 14 years and am living alone for the past 12 following a divorce from a 43 year marriage. Have always loved to cook for my family and friends and still cook every day for myself. I love kitchen gadgets and trying out new recipes. I also love to bake and now my granddaughter loves to bake with me too. She is 9.
During covid I did a lot of cooking and baking and dropped food packages off at my friends- left packages at their doors and waved from a distance. Since being vaccinated and boosted twice, I have been able to get together with friends more often to do this in person! I always joke about how I could probably have 50 people drop in at my house unexpectedly and I would have enough stuff to whip up a meal for all of them.
I like to eat a healthy diet, so it is easier to do this when I eat at home. I have lost about 90 pounds in the beginning of my retirement years and find that eating home helps to avoid hidden fat, sodium and sugars in foods.

I used to love to cook but see it now as drudgery. I cook two to three times a week. The other times, we either eat out, eat leftovers or pick up something. That cuts my cooking time down. I do admit I like the taste of my own cooking and I would miss it if I never did it.

Very little. Many times/days we cook for ourselves.

I still cook. I live alone now, and eat out a few times a week. I bring home leftovers from large serving restaurant meals, so get a night or two off when I do this.
on nights when I cook using ingredients I bought at the market, I cook for two or three people, so again, I have leftovers for other meals.
overall, I'd say I cook from scratch 3-4 days a week

I cook just about every day. I love cooking! We eat out too. My hubby loves my food, and even my 3 yr old grandson loves to eat. I make them big breakfasts, either blueberry pancakes, bacon, corned beef hash and eggs, or French toast, different types of omelets too. I start our dinner early afternoon, and we usually eat by 2 o'clock or so. I love watching certain cooking shows, and then I run out and buy all the ingredients, lol. My grandparents were from Italy, and my grandfather had a pizzeria in Coney Island, then another in queens. So yes, we all cook. My dad is 94 and still cooking, mom too. Nothing like homemade. I do all the holidays too...but that stresses me out. I cook a variety of foods, but I'd say, Italian is my best. I get so much pleasure seeing my family enjoy my cooking...and even my little grandson. He says, Glamma cook for me?? I eat!! 🤗

I still cook, but mainly the tried and trues that DH likes. He's not a food adventurer. I'm not beyond frozen pizza or Hamburger Helper on occasion. Cookbooks are for reading IMHO. I can taste the dishes as I read.
