cooking meals

Preparing food daily

Cooking meals is the activity of preparing food for eating, typically involving multiple dishes or components assembled into breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

The phrase emphasizes the domestic, routine nature of food preparation rather than professional or recreational cooking: Between work and cooking meals for the kids, I barely have time to myself.

Someone who cooks meals regularly maintains a household rhythm of planning, shopping, and preparation.
