What does your weekend meal routine look like, do you actually cook three times a day?
Comments
I typically cook all 3 meals but that’s mostly because cooking is my hobby 🙂
Honestly? Absolutely not 😅 Weekends are for survival and soft living. I usually cook once—brunch-style late morning—and then we just kind of snack or warm up leftovers the rest of the day. If I do cook again, it’s something super easy like a pasta or a sheet pan meal.
Weekends are my time to rest from the constant weekday kitchen hustle, so I’m not chaining myself to the stove three times a day 😌
Breakfast is Greek yoghurt, so no cooking needed. For lunch, I make enough salad for 2 or more days at a time. If not, the most I cook at lunch time is an omelette. Dinner is always something to last 2 days or more. Last week, I ate the same batch-cooked salad every day for 5 days, and the same chicken thigh chilli every day for 5 days!! I didn’t mean to, I just made too much!
I never get bored of the foods that I like and I hate washing up.
We do cook 3 meals on the weekends. Notice I said we. My hubby makes breakfast and I do lunch & dinner.
No. I cook once every three to four days. Normally the same thing everyday, minus the dinners.
Breakfast/lunch:
Hummus with raw veggies (radish, broccoli, carrots, grape tomatoes)
Cup of cottage cheese with tablespoon of flax seed, three tablespoons of oat husk fiber and a tablespoon of fruit jam
Dinner:
-Fish/veggie/rice or potatoes
-Chili with cheese over rice or potatoes or corn bread
-Garbonzo bean curry with potatoes and veggie
-Cheesy potatoes and bacon and egg scramble with mushrooms and spinach and tomatoes
-Miso soup with tofu, spinach, mushroom and fresh bread and a salad
Whatever is easiest and ingredients I have on hand.
I cook once almost every day. Otherwise it’s all cold food or reheated leftovers.
I don’t really consider breakfast/lunch ‘cooking’, but I cook dinner 9 days out of 10, yes.
Breakfast is coffee and a bagel, lunch is some miscellaneous sandwich or smoked salmon filet I can just open up and throw on some toast, dinner I actually cook something more substantial
Pfffft no! I cook for the family if necessary on Saturdays and Sundays but I’d rather warm something up on weekends
I NEVER cook three times a day. lol three of us in the house, only one going to work and he eats cereal, two retired one goes for cereal other has toast (does that count as cooking?) everyone does their own thing at lunch and I cook dinner.
I don’t cook at all 😅 my husband does
I normally plan something nice to cook on a Saturday. Cooking/baking, followed by eating, are my favourite things to do!
I actually cook more, prep more and yes we eat better and nicer
I don’t eat breakfast, I just have a cup of coffee and I’m off to the races. If I try to eat first thing in the morning, I’ll be nauseous
For lunch, I usually either reheat leftovers from last night’s dinner, or just have a smoothie with fruit and Greek yogurt and almond milk
Dinner is really the only meal I cook on a regular basis. My husband and I each cook dinner twice a week, then do takeout or delivery one day a week
Yes. I also live in a tiny town, 90 mins from the nearest town, so i don’t have many restaurant options.
Porridge for breakfast, so a <5min prep.
Either meal prepped salad, pasta etc for lunch or a quick meal, eg scrambled egg.
Then a proper cooked dinner some nights, others is a quicker meal like scrambled egg, wrap etc. Couple nights a week is a ready meal or takeout.
It really depends on how I’m feeling and what my weekend looks. Typically though, Saturday I just have coffee first thing and just relax, then have breakfast for lunch like bacon, eggs, and toast. Then dinner will either be kept super simple, or we’ll order in or go out. As long as Saturday was pretty chill then I’ll make more of an effort with meals on Sunday. Pancakes or French toast for breakfast, fancy up a sandwich for lunch, then a dinner with some kind of meat and veg.
Cooking is not my favorite subject, sometimes on weekends I cook a maximum of two meals that I eat during the day, I often use delivery or eat out, sometimes eating at a cafe is even more cost-effective than buying a lot of groceries and spending time cooking
I cook at most once a day and that’s dinner. Breakfast is a bagel, yogurt, boiled egg, avocado toast or cereal. Lunch is a sandwich. I try to cook extra meat for dinner so that I can make something else from it the next night (primarily rotating Southwestern/Mexican, Italian, Indian, Mediterranean and Asian dinners).
Nope. We eat out once, then eat the week’s leftovers, or the kids fend for themselves. They are older and need to learn to cook for themselves at some point. I cook extra during the weeknights so that I can have the weekends off.
When I’m not traveling for work, I try to go to my parents house at least once a weekend so that I can get one meal from them and usually a to go meal too 😂
I have 2 rules. I don’t cook the day I do a fully cleaning to my house which usually falls on Thursday and I dont cook on Saturday nights. My bf usually handles Saturday morning and I am grateful for the help since he is the only man I ever dated that cooked breakfast for me. Saturday lunch is usually something light or leftovers. If we do a day trip somewhere, its something light when we are out and about. We typically have date night on Saturday at our standard place. Sunday morning is usually a brunch somewhere local and dinner is with family so I typically dont have to cook.
Yes but it’s fun dinners on the weekends. Homemade pizza, paninis, nachos, etc. Breakfast is often eggs on toast with avocado, lunch might be a toasted sandwich or a “cook from frozen” snacky thing like empanadas or dumplings. Maybe once a month we’ll go out or get takeaway for dinner.
I don’t even cook so many times on weekdays lmao
Never do I eat three meals a day. I’ve been eating by intuition almost my entire adult life. I generally hate organized meal times, but I know I’m not normal 😂
In my life I’ve never cooked breakfast or lunch as a rule. Only dinner.
Breakfast is only a cooked meal on special occasions. Toast, cereal, yogurt etc are all good options for breakfast.
For lunch, a sandwich or reheat leftovers.
Dinners are always cooked or carryout.
I make breakfast both days. Lunch is fend for yourself and we typically go out Saturday and Friday is typically takeout.
I never cook three times a day unless I’m just baking different things, generally for others. I don’t think I even eat three meals a day.
I mean I cook three times a day everyday, but I absolutely love cooking. I’m not talking super elaborate meals or anything but I prefer eating freshly cooked food whenever possible. For example, breakfast was some eggy bread with roasted cherry tomatoes, lunch was a halloumi and orange salad with lettuce, beetroot, red onions and croutons, dinner was nachos topped with homemade chili, salsa, guac and sweetcorn.
We order out dinner on Friday night, breakfast and dinner on Saturday, breakfast on Sunday and possibly dinner on Sunday.
My husband hasn’t cooked a meal in 15 years and if everyone else in the house is sitting around on the weekends, so am I.
No, it consists of one meal a day for me. My little one on the other hand eats more than me.
I usually just cook one meal a day. I’ve been eating a bit of fruit/vegetables here and there in the morning/afternoon, then cook dinner later on. Or if I’m really hungry earlier, I’ll cook for lunch then just eat something small for dinner.
Sometimes if I have my shit together I have over night oats. If not, we snack on fruit in the morning or my husband will make eggs and toast. Lunch on Saturday is usually a cheap going out meal while we’re running errands (Costco hot dog, slice of pizza, burger shack). Then we hit a grocery store to get dinner for Saturday and Sunday. Cook something fast on Saturday then on Sunday we usually slow cook something or cook something more elaborate for dinner and snack during the day.
