Takeout or cook myself and eat leftovers for 3 days...and always keep fresh fruit and a water in the fridge.

i have 2 kinds of sauce... one chunky style that goes great with penne. a can of diced tomatoes with a whole lotta rough chopped onion, sliced garlic, and as much basil, red pepper, black pepper, and oregano as i feel like putting in. takes longer to boil the dried pasta than to make that. the other is more of a sauce, takes a few hours, mostly the same ingredients with the addition of carrots (for sweetness), some red wine, some tomato paste and tomato sauce. everything finely minced (excepting the crushed tomatoes... i like looking down and seeing the bits) and simmered for an hour and a half or whenever. i sorta wing it each time. last time i put in a little too much powdered red pepper.

i also love barbeque and have it probably twice a month. probably go out to eat 3 or 4 times a week. say... frank and angie's, the best pizza place in town (well, perhaps mangia is better...) or central market cafe or kerbey lane or magnolia. lots of sandwiches since schlotsky's is based here, thundercloud too. when i was in school still i ate at the fried rice cart probably 3 times a week. mmmm... fried rice and lemonade...

I cook basically 90% of my own meals. I'm 18 and living at home, but I'll be in college this fall so I doubt I'll be cooking AT ALL. Gonna be harder to eat healthy, but I can do it.

I cook quite a bit of rice, pasta and coucous. I also give the 'ol George Foreman grill a workout with chicken breast and lean pork.

I eat a lot of cereal because I'm too lazy to cook.

i hired this chef to come over and cook a weeks worth of meals every Wednesday. It's really cool b/c you then don't need to cook yourself and get homemade food

I'm 22 and live on my own. I dont mind cooking but I always lose interest in eating it after its prepared. I usually go for stuff that you can put in the oven, leave it for 30 mins and then its ready to eat. Also go for chinese takeaway a lot.

I do a mixture of cooking and pre made. Loblaws Presidents Choice brand offers all kinds of healthy pre made items. I'm a big fan of their thin crust pizza. I also try do a lot of cooking on the weekends so I can just through stuff in the microwave. Make a lot of casseroles.

I'm 17 and usually by myself and i cook all the time, especially on the grill. I grill chicken breats or sausages or a fish filet or steak if i can afford it. On the stove lots of pasta with sauce or steam vegtables. Cooking on your own is nice cause you can make food exactly the way you like it and it saves a lot of money. For what it costs to pick up a fastfood meal and the time it takes to go out and get the food, i can pull a nice steak out of the freezer and grill that up, and steak is far better than fast food in my opinion.
