There are a lot of self-proclaimed family dinnertime experts out there, but only one Lazy Genius — and Kendra Adachi is "the Laziest Genius" of them all. She's a North Carolina mom, no-nonsense meal planning expert, and baker du-jour who coined the tongue-in-cheek term back in 2015 to help moms like her solve real-life problems with an even realer sense of humor.
Here's an example of the Lazy Genius approach to dinnertime: It's perfectly acceptable to feed your family hot dogs for dinner. It's perfectly acceptable to finish that last chapter in your YA novel while your husband takes the kids out for chicken nuggets. And it's perfectly acceptable to cancel all dinner plans until further notice, turn on your favorite Spotify playlist, and make a cake worthy of a TV baking competition show.
In the past three years, Kendra has used the Lazy Genius Collective and Lazy Genius podcast to connect with moms like her, who are of the ilk that "you don't need to set a hundred goals in order to have a good year." In a sea of "mommy-shamers," Kendra strives to be the absolute opposite. And if there's one thing that Kendra knows for sure, it's that in order to be a good mom, first you have to feel like yourself.
(Another claim to fame: Kendra invented the Tim Riggins Salad. And for that, we salute her.)
