Summary
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.

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, you're listening to the Lazy Genius podcast. I'm Kendra Adachi. This podcast is not about |
| 0:06.2 | hacking the system to find more time or hacking your energy to get more done. Hustling to be the best |
| 0:11.5 | or to make the most out of every opportunity is exhausting and unsustainable. So here we do things |
| 0:18.5 | differently. On this show, we value contentment, compassion, and living in our season. |
| 0:23.8 | We favor small steps over big systems. |
| 0:26.5 | Here we are lazy geniuses, being a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don't. |
| 0:32.7 | And I'm so glad you're here. |
| 0:34.6 | Today is episode 475, the dinner bowl formula. Listen, do I love food in a bowl? |

| 1:17.1 | a mini pep talk for when it's just so dang hot outside. It feels like the whole bottom half of the |
| 1:22.4 | United States is dealing with 80 plus temps before noon every day. It's just so dang hot. And when it is, a lot of things |
| 1:30.4 | can become harder or more discouraging. A mini-pup talk seems in order for those of you who feel |
| 1:35.4 | that way. Now before we get into all that, this Wednesday, July 1st, is the next time our two |
