^With the horrendous traffic in the metro nowadays, wala ka na talagang energy pa na gumawa ng kahit ano after work. Kaya ako, every Sunday ko lang talaga nagagawa tapos freezer galore na.

My mom does. She always find time to make meals for us kahit na super busy siya sa work

Korek ka dyan sis.

Sobrang no time. Buti na lang magaling maid namin magluto. I just write down the menu for the week then susundan na lang nya schedule. At least once a week ko lang iisipin kung ano ba food namin.

[sweetjaja16]

Yes, but I wake up so early because I start cooking around 4AM then mttapos ko ng 5:30. I have lots of time to prepare our baon and food ni baby since my office is just a miles away from my house.

[FayeP]

since nagstart ako sa morning shift wala na time to cook, kasi I have to leave home ng mga 5AM para umabot sa start ko na 7AM. Tapos sa hapon kahit na 4PM ang labas ko, mga past 6 na ko nakakauwi...

so si hubby un nagluluto fulltime...before nun night shift ako, pagdating ko sa umaga, mamamalengke ako tapos magluto kami tulong kami ni hubby....

Sometimes I would help our maid with dinner but I normally leave lang recipes for her to follow.  I'm so busy with my infant and work I have no time to cook.

I work full time, but sometimes, I can still prepare dinner pero sobrang ngarag. I would think of what I would cook the night before so I can bring it out from the freezer. As soon as I get into the house, I change my top, minsan hindi na ng ako makapagpalit, just put on an apron then cook na agad. Simple food lang naman. During the weekends, I cook maybe 3-4 diff ulam then freeze it. Mostly we eat out or buy take outs several times a week if Im really tired na.

Early afternoon magtetext na ako sa maid para ilabas yun meat na lulutuin ko at pinapachop ko na din yun ingredients kung may time sya. Nagstart na kasi maglakad baby ko kaya nahirapan din syang iwan.

Pagdating ko sa bahay, magluluto na ko.. mabilisan yun. Tapos start ko na din magwash/rinse/spin yun washing machine. Play with baby din habang kumukulo yun niluluto ko. (spell multitasking!!). After magluto aalagaan ko na si baby. while si yaya magsasampay ng damit.

Usually pang 2 days na niluluto ko, init init na lang. Nauubos kasi play time namin ni baby sa pagluluto e.. Wala naman reklamo si hubby at yaya kahit puro init lang. Minsan pag wala talagang time, take out ng food sa labas.

Yes I still do. Pag workday, sa dinner mga simple na lang at madaling lutuin but during weekends at walang pasok, dun ako nagluluto ng ibang putahe (non Filipino dish) and nag-ba-bake

[belle_v2g]

Yes. Trying my best to. My son goes to school everyday and his school is very strict to what sort of food you give the kids for lunch. Kids here have allergies so I need to be aware of that too.
My husband doesn't cook so ako lang talaga lahat.. I cook every night and that's good for tonight's ulam til next day's lunch. We are both full time workers but it's good that we have different rosters.

[crazii_love]

my case is the same with sis belle_v2g. i cook our meals at night after i got off from work, and that dish is already good for our dinner until lunch of the next day.

in the morning, i wake up around 5AM or 6AM (depends on what time will my hubby needs to go to work) to cook for our breakfast naman.

i love to feed my husband. nothing beats the joy you bring to your love ones when you cook for them. lalong nakakawala ng pagod kapag sarap na sarap sila sa food.

[Angelite]

Super no time na to cook for the family. I make a weekly menu na lang for the maid to follow. In this way, controlled ko pa rin what will be served pero I don't need to cook na.

[enchoi]

just recently lang... yung pang packed lunch ng husband ko sa morning ko niluluto.  Usually mga stirfry veggies lang naman yun at mga salads.  For dinner, dun ako nagluluto ng mga matagalan.  Sometimes iask ko yung mother ko na sya na magpalambot ng meat tapos pagdating ko tsaka ko na iluluto. 

I just noticed na nung regular na ako na ang nagluluto, sobrang laki ng ibinait at inilambing ng husband ko... at tatawag pa sya out of the blue para lang itanong ano kaya ang iluluto ko for dinner hehe

[cldy_1981]

No time to cook at all. My schedule at work is so tight, plus the commute/drive to and from work is harrowing and really taking a toll on me. I'm so tired and stressed every day that all I want to do when I get home is lie down and rest. I rely on my MIL to feed us, haha!

[twelvth_goddess]

Since we moved to a condo last April, I've had to cook our own meals na. I still do batch cooking on Sundays para puro reheat na lang gagawin.

[lovemeagain30]

My family is based now in abroad. here we dont have helpers or yaya's. We got 2 kids (10 yr old) and 10 months old. Me and my hubby are working full time --  Breastfeeding mom din ako sa bunso.
Ako din ang naghahatid/sundo sa mga anak ko sa daycare.

what i do is i cook at night, pagdating namin ng mga bata sa bahay. My hubby will be the one to care for them while i'm at the kitchen. Before i start my cooking, i breastfeed first my bunso. I cooked dinner tapos kasama na yung babaunin the following day. I also prepare baby food baon for bunso. In the morning naman, I wake up early and if i have time -- i cooked breakfast also like pancakes, kakanin, baked bread. Kung kulang na sa oras, cereals na yun plus I make sandwiches and fresh fruit juices for the kids.

Nakaka pagod ba siya? Yes. pero kapag nakikita kong masaya ang family ko, nababawasan yung pagod ko.  I used to like take aways or deliveries pero I feel guilty that i'm not providing the right nutrition for my kids. kung samin lang mag asawa ayos na ayos yun! pero dahil may mga batang involved kaya iniiwasan na namin hanggat maari.

Just last night, I found time to make kare kare.  It feels good to cook for my husband from time to time.

[momentum]

Yes I have time and to bake too!
My cake skills have improved a lot! Baked 2 birthday cakes already beginning of this month! and still am on it even if walang may bday :p
