I'm a Male and I Cook


Yes I'm a male. And I do cook. A male actually taking time out to cook for himself or even his family for that matter is a rarity now days. It's more common you see the female in the kitchen slaving over the stove while the husband comes in from work asking what's for dinner.... I hate to see that ish. Cook for yourself fool... wtf. Cook the night before... do something. But ya see me ... I cooks... I mean how else am I going to survive? I can't go out to Popeyes & McDonalds everyday just for a hot meal, especially with my health conscious self. Cooking is a hobby of mine actually, I enjoy it, I like doing it... i enjoy eating it more. Only downfall is the fact that I eat ... A LOT. I'm talking 4, 5, 6 times a day :-). Every 3 hrs. Of course I count my protein shakes as meals also; I try not to do more than 2 of those a day. I don't cook anything real exotic, I keep it simple. Mostly chicken and lean meats; sweet potatoes (drools).. I know I'm country. Then there's this special recipe .. I get it from da moms. I ain't gonna tell yall the recipe but its pretty effin awesome. I think I might've perfected it, the ladies love it; one even stole my recipe and started feeding it to her boo :-|... aint that some ish? Gone still my recipe ... and feed it to her mans so he could enjoy it.. -smh.

But anyway ... I just finished cooking :). Italian Herb chicken, sweet potatoes, green beans. Yuummm. Nice muscle meal. Sooo I guess tomorrows menu's gonna look a lil something like:

  • Pre-Breakfast: Protein shake
  • Breakfast: 1 cup oatmeal, 5 eggs, 2 slices turkey bacon
  • Lunch: 1 Italian Herb Chicken breast, Sweet potatoe, Green beans
  • Pre-Wrkout: 2 Wheat tortillas, Ground Turkey, Cheese, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Salsa
  • Post-Wrkout: 1 Can tuna, 3 eggs and maybe a protein shake
  • Night Time: Protein Shake/Cottage Cheese .. or something slow digesting like that

:-\ That's alot huh? And I stilll be hungry. Anyway, back to the subject. I cooks ... I loves to cook. Even after I'm married with a wife and kids, I'll still be cooking. I don't know how often my significant other will even see the kitchen b/c I'll be in it so much. That's coo though, my boo don't belong in no kitchen anyway :). My grocery bill gonna be sky high but that's fine. How do u feel about a male taking responsibility to actually cook? I mean ... do you cook on the daily?
