In these times it seems like everybody is too busy and not able to take the time to cook full meals in the kitchen on a regular basis. I’m lucky to be able to cook as part of my job because I actually enjoy doing it. But truth be told, even I am sometimes pressed for time and end up eating poorly because of my busy schedule.
