Birthin' Rocks, Breakin' Toes and Imitation Halloumi This week on Hey Sis, Eat This, the sisters reconvene to recap vacations filled with missing flights, making meals, and unexpected prairie dog hunts. Courtney's Jackson Hole and Utah adventure with her daughters got off to a rocky start thanks to a Real ID snafu. But things took a turn for the mystical when she stumbled upon a 700 lb crystal while on a hike. Surrounded by her daughters, BFF Elle, and BBQ mogul , the group harnessed the magic to manifest their dreams “giving birth” to a new start after a hard year. She also took full advantage of vacation to cook for friends and navigate those awkward "birds and the bees" talks with her daughters. Meanwhile, Whitney’s annual trip to her happy place—“Camp Ranch” in Colorado—came with a minor hiccup when her horse Sherrie broke her toe prior to departure. But nothing was going to derail her favorite Fourth of July tradition. Between watermelon pico made with love, prairie dog patrol with the family, sunset wine chats, and one very memorable rattlesnake sighting, Whitney soaked up every moment of ranch life. Shifting gears, Courtney and Whitney bravely address the recent tragic floods in Kerr County, Texas and the surrounding areas. The sisters share first-hand accounts and call on the HSET community to support their fellow Texans by donating to recovery efforts. It's an episode filled with laughter, genuine connection, and a heartfelt reminder of the power of community.

Infinite Possibilities with Julie Paiva & Her Sister Lisa 05/22/2025

Infinite Possibilities with Julie Paiva & Her Sister Lisa You “kinda” don’t want to miss this week’s episode of Hey Sis, Eat This, as we welcome special guests Julie Paiva, a talented screenwriter known for now airing on Netflix, and her wonderful sister Lisa. Together, they share a heartfelt and humorous look at their unconventional childhood in Northern California, celebrating the life lessons and creativity imparted by their remarkable mother, Momma Bibi. We rewind to the ‘80s, when Momma Bibi and Dad Michael divorced when the sisters were seven and ten. Bibi chose stability first when co-parenting, keeping her girls in their childhood home with their dad, while still fostering a close relationship with them through foodie filled adventures. Daddy Michael tackled single-parent mode with “French-Toast Thursdays,” microwave-cooking classes, and a very liberal kitchen-only cigarette policy that cured any teen smoking phase fast . A Sufi seeker who swaps small talk for theories on the nature of time, Momma Bibi raised her daughters on spiritual “square dancing” and Cheez Whiz with jarred beef on annual camping trips. Her trademark Bibi-isms (“blow your nose, get a little glass of orange juice, take two sips then tell me what happened”) still echo whenever life gets wobbly . Tune in to hear how Bibi instilled in her daughters the importance of love, peace, and connection, and how she encouraged them to embrace their individuality and celebrate their own unique paths. Also, make sure to check out Julie’s hit movie, Kinda Pregnant, starring Amy Schumer, now playing on Netflix and her next venture, a children’s book series launching with The Lucky Penny, inspired by Momma Bibi’s DIY optimism.

Encore Episode: Back to School with Margie; a Tribute to Teacher and Mom, Marjorie Taylor In the latest episode of Hey Sis, Eat This, Courtney and Whitney dive right into their Labor Day weekend adventures. While Whitney spent her time making enchilada drop-offs for friends—Courtney had a different kind of food experience at the Malibu Chili Cook Off. She shares her surprise at the carnival-like event, complete with rides and a hefty $40 entry fee. But the highlight? An unforgettable brisket chili from Stoner House Farms that left her with excited taste buds with a side of heartburn. The conversation continues with talk of Whitney’s recent trip to Fort Worth, where she discovered a standout restaurant serving a variety of mole sauces—despite her usual dislike for the dish. The sisters also tease a packed week ahead, celebrating Momma Ashley's upcoming birthday in Waco. Things take a funny turn when Whitney shares a sexy dream involving The Bear star Jeremy Allen White, brisket sandwiches, and Calvin Klein ads, which leads to a hopeful discussion about their dream guest, Maddie Matheson. In honor of back-to-school season, we're celebrating the life and legacy of Marjorie Taylor, a beloved elementary school teacher and devoted mother. In this special re-release from Season 1, Courtney and Whitney sit down with Tiffany Chen, founder of , and her sister Melinda Thomas, a news producer and breast cancer thriver. The Taylor sisters fondly share memories of their mother, Marjorie, who was known for her fun spirit, adventurous heart, and no-nonsense attitude. Whether it was tackling roller coasters or planning epic road trips with creative snacks, Margie was a hands-on, dedicated mom who made sure her family was well-fed and well-loved. Sadly, Marjorie passed away earlier this year, making this episode even more poignant. Throughout her career as a teacher, she left a lasting impact on her students and touched the lives of so many, both in the classroom and at home. As the Taylor sisters reminisce about her candid sex talks, family pranks, and the love she poured into every meal, we dedicate this episode to Marjorie and her family. Her warmth, wisdom, and endless creativity will always be remembered.
