7/7
I cook everyday for the most part.
With the ex and during the school year I wake up extra early to cook breakfast followed by lunch for him to take to work and the little one to take to school.
I think every self sufficient adult should be able to put a hot cooked meal on the table. For me it is not only essential but I do take much pride and pleasure in providing my loved ones with fresh meals from scratch that will nourish their bodies and satisfy their bellies.
It is also really important to create that foundation so that a child grows up wanting those meals mama used to cook.
My little one isn't with eating out too often. If we have had a long day where I may have to opt for take out once in a blue, he doesn't want it. He will tell me straight like "Noooo mommy, I really want you to cook me something. You're the greatest chef."
Can't say I don't love it!
