This week, the sisters are cooking up more than just dinner — they’re diving deep into family traditions, cherished recipes, and the sweet stories that keep generations connected. From legacy apple pies and strudel to the hilariously disastrous tale of a DIY patio project gone wrong (spoiler: there were scissors and spray paint involved), this episode is full of laughter, warmth, and a few tears. They also weigh in on meaningful gifts for teenage boys, share their thoughts on the new Pope, and test out some fancy new nail polish. Come for the Eggs Benny, stay for the Crisco cookies. It’s classic Fish.

Graduation is near, the dorm checklists are growing, and the Fishes are deep in their feels. This week, the sisters are joined by special guest Hanna Bankier, founder of Birdy Launcher, who shares wisdom and real-world tools for moms navigating the emotional rollercoaster of launching kids into college, adulthood, and beyond.

They unpack:

• Why “empty nest” doesn’t fit
• How to prepare your kids and yourself for the launch
• Letting go without losing the connection
• Managing the grief, guilt, and (yes) unexpected joy of this life shift
• And reimagining who you want to be in this next phase

Plus, they toast Mother’s Day with a mimosa recipe, discuss Eggs Benedict ambitions (and potential disasters), and share a sweet holiday jingle that might just make you cry in your car.

It’s a love letter to moms in the thick of change. Pour the coffee, grab a cinnamon roll, and jump in.

Your kid gets a tattoo. Or disappears on a 12-hour solo road trip. And doesn’t tell you either one’s happening. Sound familiar? This week, the Fishes tackle the tough stuff—what it feels like when your kids are technically adults, but still your kids, and they start making big decisions you’re not part of.

They get honest about:

• Navigating “adulting” kids and the grief of being needed less
• Supporting choices you might not agree with (hello, surprise ink)
• Building trust for the real conversations
• Promposals, dorm prep, and the emotional chaos of senior spring
• And yes, the Amazon wish list is back—and it’s dorm-ready

In What’s for Dinner, it’s a comforting, creamy Chicken Tetrazzini straight from Nancy’s mother-in-law Judy. One pan, freezer-friendly, and full of love.

Letting go isn’t easy. But talking about it helps. Jump in.
