That’s my kind of cooking…and eating! I use a lot of pots, pans, cutting boards, and knives in my meal prep. It needs to look appetizing when I serve it, too.
I have rubbed off onto my husband apparently, too. A few years ago, we made dinner for my brother, who is divorced. He remarked to Mr. FF, “I see you’ve forgotten how to cook like a bachelor! Only one pan is needed!”
I say, if you’ve got the tools, use them! I know it’s weird, but I really do enjoy meal prep and cooking from scratch. Like gardening, it’s therapeutic for me. Just don’t rush me. It’ll be a much better meal if I’m not pressured that way. ;)
