Cooking is hard but admittedly worth it

Yesterday I grilled some steak and had some leftover grilled chicken and grilled veggies from the night before. So I made some quesadillas with the meats and chopped up veggies. And cheese of course. To go with it, I made some guacamole (a small amount just 1 avocado) and a black bean & corn relish. It was all really good. It took me about an hour and a half just to do all of that. Chopping veggies, peeling avocados, lighting the grill, cleaning the grill, grilling the steak, letting it rest, chopping it up, feeding the scraps to the dogs, assembling the quesadillas, cutting them up, etc. All in all you realize for something a fast food Mexican place could produce in 10 minutes take you 90 minutes. But....you know it's fresh. You know it only has as much oil and salt in it as what you put in it yourself. I love to cook and try to cook fresh more often
