One of my favorite aspects of cooking is that it isn’t instant. 

Don’t get me wrong, there are definitely days when I reach for the boxed macaroni and cheese, or scroll through my phone looking for recipes that promise me a beautifully plated meal on the table within five minutes, even with two small children running around at my feet.
