What are you making for dinner tonight?
Grilled chicken, steamed carrots, maybe rice or maybe black-eyed peas, garlic bread. Easy dinner.
What is your favorite meal to make?
Probably a roast with potatoes and carrots in the crock pot. So easy and yummy!
How often do you cook?
Just about every night. We prefer a home-cooked meal to eating out. It's lighter and just about always better, imo.

What are you making for dinner tonight? pork chops and ranch roasted potatoes!
What is your favorite meal to make? I dont have a favorite but I really like lasagna, chicken enchiladas, and beef stew!
How often do you cook? Almost every night, unless DH and I both just dont feel like it.. We really only go out to dinner if we're visiting family. We live in a very small town so we don't have a ton of options here for eating out.
I just got done making my weekly grocery list and now im craving everything on it!

Wow, some of that stuff sounds soooo yummy 
I'm making Chicken noodle caserole which is just like tuna noodle casserole but with canned chicken instead of canned tuna.
I love to cook breakfast type foods and we often have biscuits n gravy or pancakes for dinner when I do cook
we TRY to cook daily, however there are times when it is just much easier to get Burger King or Subway... lol My Fiance also cooks regularly too and he cooks a lot of yummy stuff

whoops, didn't answer the questions...
What are you making for dinner tonight? Tonight is Burger and Tots
What is your favorite meal to make? Favorite to make or favorite to eat? We love mexican food and chinese...I guess they are my favorite to cook
How often do you cook? Every night. We work hard on our budget so we can do/afford other things and we consider going out to eat an unnecessary expense. That being said we budget to out to eat once a month but probably go out more like once every two months.

Please do yourself a favor and check out Budget Bytes I am NOT a cook by any stretch of the word. I can barely boil water, seriously. I started following her blog (after finding her on Pinterest) and I have not cooked a meal that hasn't been on her website since (and it's been about 2 months!). She gives amazingly simple instructions complete with pictures! She also breaks down each meal by price and gives a complete grocery list that you need. She makes it so so so so so easy to cook and the meals are DELICOUS!!
I know I sound like I work for her  I promise I don't, she's just that good! I also love the way she has her blog set up. If I am craving one thing in particular, I just go to the right of the page where it says "labels" and click on what sounds good (like Asian, which is what I did tonight!)

What is your favorite meal to make? I love making this chicken and asparagus pasta dish. or chili
How often do you cook? before I started feeling really lousy a few days a week and my dad would take the others. Now that I am just not comfortable and completely lazy I haven't cooked at all.
