Isn’t cooking very time consuming?

Sure, like anything, cooking takes time.  How much time depends on what I’m trying to make and skill level.  There are lots of things that I can make that take 20 minutes and other things that take all day and everything inbetween.  We each only get 24 hours a day so it’s just a matter of how you want to prioritize your life.  I prioritize cooking for myself, friends and family so there is always time for it.  I watch very little TV, get my groceries delivered and say “no” more often than is comfortable but I don’t struggle to find time to cook.  It’s a priority for me, plain and simple.  It’s your life, build it so that it works for you!
