Substack star Caroline Chambers came out with a new book this week. Among the pages of What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking: Make It Fast, you'll find plenty of fresh and delicious weeknight meals, but we're especially in love with her lemon oregano chicken and squash.
Engineered for those hot summer days when you can't even stand to bust open the grill, this dish comes together in a single sheet pan in just 25 minutes. Chicken thighs provide the protein, while zucchini or yellow squash will ensure you get your veggies. Olives, Greek seasoning, and briny feta cheese add a Mediterranean touch, which will momentarily transport you to the Athens beach of your dreams. Oh, and don't forget the focaccia — you'll need it to mop up the delectable juices pooling on your plate.

If you're like us, you're looking for any relief from the heat. We've taken inspiration from Katie Couric herself, who's found an affordable solution to the dog days of summer.
"Not glamorous, but this is an item that’s gotten a lot of use at my house," Katie recently wrote in a Substack post. "I picked up a set of popsicle silicone molds with reusable sticks, and they’re now a fixture for when friends stay over, and for whenever my grandson Jay comes to visit."
Katie loves that this simple product is so versatile and easy to use: "We’ve done everything from plain lemonade pops to a blend of whatever fruit is about to go soft in the bowl, and cleanup takes about 90 seconds. It’s a kitchen gadget that makes kids happy and doesn’t create extra cleanup work, so I’m a huge fan."
