Do you “cook” on Sundays?

Yes I cook on Sundays. We have our family dinner on Sunday evening that dh and I both make, but I also use Sunday to meal prep for the week - I make my egg bites, hard boiled eggs, and DHs muffins so I don’t have to mess with them the rest of the week.

Now that it's mostly just the 2 of us we often just eat leftovers or fend for ourselves.

Typically I cook a meal on Sunday but it’s not usually anything really big. I sometimes make beef stew or pot roast. DS usually cooks during the week but he doesn’t make the same things that I make.

DH does most of our weekend cooking - in fact, he’s making Sunday night dinner as I type!
We eat a wide variety of foods and so how complex it is varies - it could be a full roast dinner or it could be like tonight, a vegetable risotto. Generally though, it’s either something that cooks long and slow, or something that happens in 30 minutes or so. There’s only the two of us so we don’t cook heaps of food. Just a main course, as we don’t really do dessert - that’s something we keep for eating out or vacation - usually enough for me to have leftovers for lunch the next day as well as our evening meal.

I cook everyday except for when we order a pizza or something else several times a month. Sundays are no different from the rest of the week. When I was in my 20's I dated a guy whose parents were Italian. We would go to her house on Sundays. She said they needed to put some meat on my bones. The first time we went she had lasagna, a roast and so many side dishes I lost count. I was from a meat and potatoes background so I was floored.

I like to make bigger meals that have a lot of prep on the weekends. I enjoy cooking, but during the week I don’t have the time to prepare involved meals, so I like to do it on the weekends.

If I'm in the mood to make something more time consuming, like a from-scratch soup or stew, Sunday is usually the day I do it. I might also make something like a curry that makes good leftovers during the weeke. In the past I've done meal prep on Sundays, but now that I don't work full time, I don't bother with that.

With just the two of us here most of the time, I'm much lazier about cooking.

I pretty much refuse to cook on weekends, because everyone else is goofing off and there's enough stuff I still have to do like scooping the cat box and tossing in laundry. I'll cook if someone else helps me, but that's pretty much it.

Sunday is the day DH is mostly likely to make dinner, which really means he takes care of the protein and wants something I don't usually make (ribs, wings, roast lamb, souvlaki).

We don't do a special sit down at the dining table Sunday dinner and I prefer to make fast, easy meals during the week so don't have a weekly meal prep day.

It depends on how busy the day is! I have two kids still at home, both play sports and have other activities they are involved in so weekends can be quite busy. If it’s a quiet day at home, I will cook a bigger meal and bake a dessert too! But if it’s a busy day or I’m worn out, I’ll still cook on Sundays, but it’s going to be something quick and simple!

Not sure if this counts.

I cook 2-3 meals for the week and portion them out. I need 15-18 meals generally. That way I can grab and go. Less eating out.

I used to like to cook a big meal on Sunday, meaning doubling or tripling a recipe so that I could freeze the leftovers. Over time I would end up with a variety of easy to reheat meals for the week when I was working.

I’m retired now, so I cook when I feel like it. We’re catching up on eating leftovers tonight.

I used to cook a more complicated meal or a roast dinner on Sundays but DD18's been so busy on Sunday the past 5-6 years with Girl Scout activities that we usually end up grabbing a late lunch and skipping dinner all together

In cooler months I'll usually make a pot or two of soup or something else that will reheat well for leftovers during the week.

In warmer months, we tend to grill a lot and regularly have "Steak Sunday".
