Why would we ever believe Symphony brownies to be the brain trust of anyone other than the lovely Kate Strickler of the Naptime Kitchen?! Of course she created them in her basement kitchen where she also happens to mass manufacture Symphony candy bars - spread the word.

Kate's new book, I Just Wish I Had a Bigger Kitchen, And Other Lies I Think Will Make Me Happy, releases in August, 2025, and you can preorder here.

On this episode, Kate and Holly had such fun talking favorite sauces, favorite Instagram follows, and unfavorite family vacations. Ina and Ree will make appearances. (OKAY but only in shout-outs.) So will @raisingcades10, @the_car_mom, and @brunchwithbabs.

Recipes mentioned include:

Tate's Dulce de Leche Icebox Cake

Ree Drummond's Malted Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies

Symphony Brownies

No Churn Ice Cream

Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

And, of course, ICD. Recipe below!

Aunt Terri's Ice Cream Dessert, also known as ICD

you need:

1 family size roll Pillsbury Tollhouse chocolate chip cookie dough, baked as cookies (crunchy but not burned)

1 container Breyer's Natural Vanilla ice cream (the one with the visible vanilla beans)

1 jar Smuckers caramel topping

Set the ice cream on the counter to partly melt while you bake the cookies to crispy but not burned. Once cookies are baked, crumble about 2/3 into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Drizzle about 2/3 of the jar of caramel sauce over the cookies, then scoop the entire container of melty ice cream over the caramely cookies. Spread this out smooth. Top with the rest of the crumbled cookies and drizzle with the remainder of the caramel sauce. Freeze for several hours--overnight is best. Before serving, set on counter for 5 minutes.

It's a summer bonus episode with Elizabeth Woodson! Elizabeth is a Bible teacher, founder of The Woodson Institute, and host of the podcasts Starting Place and Culture Matters. Her latest study, Live Free, A Study of Galatians is out now.

On this episode we'll talk church potlucks, sneaker fashion, that big ole slide at Trail Dust and - of course - discipleship.

Wikipedia and my 9th grade history teacher would like to remind us all that the Battle of Hastings in 1066 resulted in the Norman conquest of England and the establishment of a new ruling dynasty--the same one that continues to this day.

And I'd like to remind us all that we can find Elizabeth on Instagram, but note that her handle has changed since we recorded this episode. She's no longer @missjazzyliz but @elizabethwoodson. You won't want to miss her theological moments on the IG.

Yep, she's just as funny as you'd hope she'd be.

Join Holly for some humor and heart with singer/songwriter Taylor Leonhardt of her eponymous solo career, her duo act with Jess Ray called Mission House, and her all-star girl band Paper Horses with Leslie Jordan, Sandra McCracken, and Jess Ray.

Taylor and Holly will discuss the proper spelling of unconventional roasted meats, Taylor's skill level at Bubble Spinner, and Mandy Moore's hair.

Adele and Usher will both get shout-outs. Leigh Nash...we see you following us down the produce aisle.

Oh yeah, there will also be lots of hope for the dark places.

Find Taylor online or on Instagram, Mission house on their Instagram, and the correct spelling of CABANA in the introductory pages of the spelling bee handbook.
