When it’s 92 degrees and even the thought of turning on the stove feels like too much, what’s for dinner?
In this laugh-out-loud and totally relatable episode, Karen and Lisa are joined once again by fan favorite Lisa Potter to talk real-life summer cooking. We're dishing up no-drama dinner ideas, lazy-girl meal hacks, and giving you full permission to make cereal, charcuterie boards, or rotisserie chicken your go-to strategy when it’s just too hot to care.
Whether you're feeding kids, partners, or just yourself, this episode serves up practical tips and funny midlife confessions that’ll make you feel seen — and a lot less guilty about skipping the oven.
🔥 What we cover:
Low-effort summer dinner ideas
Why no one needs to be a hero in the kitchen
The emotional load of mealtime (and how to drop it)
Remembering we’re not just feeding mouths — we’re feeding lives
So grab a glass of something cold and join us for a conversation that feels like chatting with your favorite girlfriends — because that’s exactly what it is.
