Nikki and Damaris are live from Park City, Utah at the Park City Song Summit, a festival bringing together music, food and wellness, which makes it a pretty perfect place to ask: when did cooking dinner become something we’re all trying to get over with as quickly as possible?
They dig into why cooking can feel completely different on a Wednesday night than it does on a leisurely weekend. One is a race to get everyone fed; the other might involve music, a glass of wine, and actually enjoying yourself. So what would happen if we brought a little more of that energy into the everyday?
Nikki shares the new dinner system she’s trying at home, while Damaris looks back at growing up in a family where everyone, even the kids, had a night to cook. That leads to a bigger conversation about the life skills we teach our kids, the mental load that makes doing it yourself feel easier, and why making dinner deserves more credit than we tend to give it.
They also talk farmers markets, cooking with the seasons, getting curious in the kitchen, and finding ways to make the whole thing feel less like one more chore.
No one is suggesting you lovingly hand-roll pasta every Tuesday. Sometimes dinner just needs to get on the table.
But if you’re going to feed yourself again tomorrow anyway, you might as well figure out how to have a little more fun doing it. Gold stars, yam yummies and breakfast-for-dinner Wednesdays included.
