This is a difficult question as all are very important but if you had to choose one, what value is most important to you:
1. Homekeeping - maintaining an organized home.
2. Cooking - Preparing tasty and nutritious meals for my family.
3. Friends - Building and maintaining meaningful friendships.

Cooking. Physiological needs must be met before all other needs.
You're right, they are all important, but fundamentally speaking we all need to eat to live.

I would choose:
3. Friends - Building and maintaining meaningful friendships.
I've always had a rocky family life and more times than not it has been friends there supporting me. So I think it is really important to maintain those relationships.

Friends-

I think my choice has changed over the years and will continue to change in the future depending on what stage of my life I am in.
Right now my focus is:
1. homekeeping.
But I don't limit "homekeeping" to domestic chores. It also includes everything involved in maintaining a household of 5- taking the boys to their appointments, maintaining 4 peoples schedules plus my own, keeping us financially afloat, etc, etc, etc, etc.
Friendships have helped keep my sanity and are valued but there have been times where I have had limitted number of friends and I still pulled through. I love to cook and feel a sense of pride in the meals I create but technically we could survive off of peanut butter sandwiches if we had to. Those are 2 things that are luxzuries to me. I don't have to have them although I do not take them for granted either. Homekeeping has to be my priority. Right or wrong, without me organizing, scheduling and implementing, 5 lives would quickly hit a brick wall.

ideally I would like to say homekeeping but with 5 kids & a bunch of extra not to mention the kids friends & our busy life with activities - it's a wish! LOL
I do find it very important to make healthy meals. We watch what we eat & have a few food issues so not eating at the proper time or the proper foods makes my life he$% due to mood swings 
Friends are nice also but to me my family that I made are my friends (not blood family LOL).
So, importance: food, love of family/friends & an organized house. One day I will be on top of things & be able to say organized home as well as homecooked meals together

I would have to say that COOKING, preparing tasty and nutritious meals for my family would be priority #1 out of those 3 choices.
I'm not the best cook and i dont like to cook all the time, but i do notice how much my kids appreciate a delicious meal, and its important for our health to eat right.
Friends should be a high priority, we all need support and to establish good relationships.... but I'm used to doing everything on my own and my firends seem busy in their own lives.
Homekeeping..means housework right? LoL always been a low priority on the list. A clean home doesnt mean a happy home...although many people judge u for that. I've always been a messy housekeeper, but keeping a happy atmosphere in the home, spending time with my kids comes in as my first priority!
I guess it depends on how you define Homekeeping?

What's the point in a well kept house and wonderful meals if there is no one to share those with?

I think that if I maintained an organized home I might have some tasty, nutritious meals to serve my family and I might be more inclined to have my friends over!
