#475 - The Dinner Bowl Formula

Every time I make a meal in a bowl, it’s like I’m writing a love letter to myself. And dinner bowls are wildly helpful in the summer. Having a dinner bowl formula that you can personalize for your own set of summer dinners is going to be a huge help when you are too hot and tired to think about dinner, much less cook it.  Helpful Companion Links * Order my book The PLAN [https://www.thelazygeniuscollective.com/theplan] or ask your library to consider carrying a copy. * Find out everything about The Playbooks here.

Today, I’m sharing seven typical obstacles to being home with people for a long stretch of time and how to approach them from a kind Lazy Genius perspective.  Helpful Companion Links * Order my book The PLAN [https://www.thelazygeniuscollective.com/theplan] or ask your library to consider carrying a copy. * Episode #473: How to Deal with a Messy House All Summer Long * Episode #423: How to Get Unstuck When Your Space Is a Mess * Episode #369: The Snack Episode * Sign up for our every-other-week podcast recap email called Latest Lazy Listens.
