I cook damn near every night and I’d like to think my food is decent, not amazing but decent. I’m not making my own sauces but will do lots of searing the meat on a cast iron and then throw in the oven while the vegetables are being steamed.
Takes about 30-40 minutes and 10 minutes to clean dishes.
The only way I’m cooking for 2 hours is if it’s a weekend and I’m batch cooking for lunch meals.
If you’re cooking every meal with homemade sauces to simmer, that is great but your standards are higher than most people.
