230: How to Raise Your First Like Your Third with Caroline Chambers

In this episode, I sit down with old friend, creator, and food writer Caroline Chambers to talk about all things food, tackling dinner time with kids running around, and how we can make cooking satisfying despite it also being the bane of our existence. Caroline and I talk about our New Jersey connection and how she grew up with my older sister Maddie, what her boarding school experience was like, and how we truly bonded years ago when I taught her to “boot and rally.” We unpack the concept of “raising your first child like your third,” how we tackle nights with multiple kids, and how she developed her Substack, What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking. Finally, she shares how she developed her career in food, what her go-to ten minute meals are today, and which necessary white lies we tell our toddlers to get them to eat and brush their teeth.
