There are exceptions to this generalization, but I usually come home to find my boyfriend waiting for me to whip up a delicious dinner. A couple of nights a month I don't cook, but more often than not I'm the one who makes the meals in the house. What about you — are you doing all the cooking for your loved ones and roommates?

He cooks his food. I cook mine. We have a few meals together but usually because we go out to eat or grab something. We both have extremely different tastes and schedules.
1I cook and my husband cleans!!
2Teamwork at its best.

Yes. Always. Once a week [or less] I decide that I don't feel like cooking and then we go out. It's always my option and my husband doesn not complain either way. What he does say, on a very regular basis, is that he is glad that he doesn't have to worry about what we're going to eat from one day to the next.
Funny: Early on in our relationship I had gotten a bit [irrationally] jealous that he cooked a meal for more than one of his former girlfriends. So I guilted him into cooking dinner for me. That was the last time he touched the stove. Trust me on this.
3I live alone and am single, but I ALWAYS end up cooking! My sister will call me and say, hey what are you doing? Are you cooking dinner? Or else I will end up at a friend's house and end up making something...
4I do much more of the meal planning, shopping, and cooking, which suits me perfectly because I'm also much pickier and more specific about what I want to eat.
But when he cooks, it's a lovely treat
5My boyfiend kows how to cook more things than me so we generally always cook together if we cook at home.
6I'm the one doing all the cooking and it's better that way. If my husband decided to do something he'd probably put a frozen pizza in the oven or make a sandwich. And anyway, I love taking care of him and making him good meals.
7we split the cooking, BUT i am the only one who will go shopping for the food (he hates doing that)
8I do not let my BF in the kitchen once he nearly cut off his finger and he could screw up a PB&J he swears he cant but its untrue maybe im too controlling but whatever at least I know I can eat.
9My hubby cooks more meals than I do - but he is the king of breakfast and casual quick dinners (he is so good at whipping up easy but amazing). I cook dinner a couple nights a week - and then I usually do something more intricate and time consuming. I also am the one that does all the baking.
10And the dishes too!
11We eat out a lot when we're together, because we only see each other twice a month so it's fun to go out & try new restaurants, but when we do cook, he cooks at his apartment & I cook at mine. And sometimes we help each other out and by help I mean drink wine & complain that the food is taking too long.
12my boyfriend is a chef by profession...
needless to say, i've gained weight since we moved in together in december. i'm not complaining, though.
13I do all the cooking, he pays for every dinner we go out to eat
14I like it! I enjoy cooking and eating healthly, and I also enjoy going out once or twice a week for a dinner paid by him
i usually cook but he does sometimes and it's usually nice and simple. it's funny, because he used to never let me cook. he would always cook for me, i think he thought i couldn't cook or something. now he always begs me to make him food! silly boys...
15I ALWAYS do the cooking!
16I shouldn't say that I do all of the cooking because my bf does do some amount of cooking but I think it's skewed inmy direction. There are times when I would go over to his place over class or work and he would have something made. He is actually an amazing cook, but I think he prefers me to cook, just like his mom used to do for him.
17Of course, I live alone so if I don't cook I don't eat.
18I cook most of the time, but sometimes when I'm feeling lazy it's yoyo night--you're on your own! depending on how my boyfriend is feeling, he'll either cook (he's not a bad cook, just boring. chicken and rice anyone?) or we'll go out/takeout/eat cereal.
19I cook. He prepares meals from a box. Seriously, it's a big event if he follows a recipe (but when he does, it's quite good - Valentine's Day I came home to roasted chicken, yum!). I don't mind doing more of the cooking, I just wish he would do more of the cleaning!
itsme - my boy is all about some chicken and rice. When he has spurts of eating healthfully that's his go-to dish. It makes a lot at a time, it's not bad for you (the way he makes it) and it's so boring he's not likely to overeat. And I'm not likely to eat his leftovers, again because it's boring.
20yes, I do all the cooking. I am not exactly a domestic goddess but I'm a good cook so I do that. He helps A LOT with the cleaning, laundry and grocery shopping.
21i am the short-order cook!
my family is sooo picky!
22i do all the cooking. my husband only microwaves or takes us out so if i want to control fat, portion, etc. i've got to cook. i don't mind though. i love cooking.
23I do the meal planning, shopping, and cooking (and cleaning) but cooking is one of my hobbies and I enjoy it. Also my husband does all the remodeling on our condo we are working on, which I hate, so we worked out this arrangement and are happy with it.
24I do all of the cooking.
25My husband cooks more than I do. He enjoys planning, shopping and experimenting with recipes, so I just sit back and humor him. But, I do all the cleaning up. Fair is fair, I guess.
26My bf does more of the cooking than I do, he's much better at it than me.
27When we first moved in 2gether, over 4 years ago, the cooking was shared. But, over the years, I really started getting into cooking...(Im better at it!)...so now Im the only one who cooks...I dont mind...as long as he does the dishes!
28I do most of the cooking only because my husband works nights and is asleep at dinnertime. He takes what I have cooked with him and eats dinner around 2AM. I know...screwed up schedule! But, on his days off we usually grill steaks or he makes a really great chicken and rice recipe. So maybe 2 nights a week he cooks. And he is good at it!
29I usually do most the cooking but every once in awhile he does. He's a good cook but I seem to have more time (esp. during the week) to prepare meals.
30I do almost all of the cooking as well as the things that go along with it such as grocery shopping & menu planning. I really don't mind. I enjoy cooking and it's my time to unwind after work. My husband usually mans the grill on occasions that require it which is at least one night on the weekends and random nights through the week.
31I'm doing the long-distance-relationship and living-in-a-single thing currently, so I cook for myself. However, when the girlfriend visits, we split it. Same if I go visit her.
32We usually eat out- and if not, we split the cooking pretty evenly. Ok. so maybe he cooks more than me hahaha
33I cook about 5 nights a week.
He will usually volunteer to grill something on the weekends ( if we are not eating out )
But he doesn't actually "cook". LOL.
34My hubby is continuing the fabulous "men do the cooking" trend in my family (my dad, my grandpa, my brothers-in-law...). Hooooray for equal opportunity!
35I almost always do the cooking, except for nights that i tutor until 8 or have a meeting until 9, then my husband cooks.
36It's better this way, I LOVE to cook, and he's....limited....and I'm bossy, and he always does things wrong if I let myself pay attention! hahaha!
He does the dishes though...well except for my pots and pans, I do those, and I like to and they're easy to do.
If I didn't want to cook, I'm sure he'd step up and learn some new tricks.
I almost always do the cooking. I don't mind though. I get frustrated watching my hubby chop, prep, and all that. I just become a neurotic mess so if he does cook, I have to be far far away. I like cooking for him much more than actually eating.
37sometimes
38it's sad - when my fiance and i first started dating, we would cook together - it was something fun that we did, and now he does 99% of the cooking i would say. i like it cause he enjoys cooking, and since i'm a vegetarian and he's not - it means that i don't have to look at the meat that he's making, but i feel like i'm not contributing as much anymore since it's typically (or stereotypically) the woman's role to cook. oh well. i guess as long as he's happy then that's the way that things will be for a while in our house.
39I am cooking 95% of the time. He may occasionally cook something for me on a special occasion or when we want his fettucine alfredo- yum!
40I stay with the 'rents and my mum's an awesome cook so the family is more than happy (much to her dismay I would think) to leave all the cooking to her! We all even think the leftovers taste great. Haha.
41My fiance always cooks, I never never ever cook- mostly because I'm really bad at cooking and he is an amazing, and super healthy "chef". But we do grocery shop together, and basically I get to be like "I want salmon tonight" and salmon I'll have- I'm so luck! To make up for it, I clean the kitchen/do dishes about 98% of the time myself AND I can bake- so I make him 1 or 2 batches of his fav chocolate chip cookies a week.
42Just like WineUnleashed, I do all the cooking, and my husband does all the cleaning. It works out better that way because I will never have to eat a failed experiment and my dishes will always been clean.
43Yup, it's almost always me. Unless they're grilling, that's my fiance's job.
44I love cooking for my boyfriend.
