As a person with generalized anxiety disorder, I tend to get mentally overloaded pretty often. Sometimes this happens because of small day-to-day things such as unexpected events, surprise errands, mix-ups at the bank, or my son having an especially crabby day. I try to keep an even keel and breathe deeply and steadily through the […]

I will freely admit that my schedule book is very important to me. If I don’t write down the tasks I need to accomplish in a given week or month, I tend to forget them and this leads to a world of stress. For this reason, I like to plan out certain tasks and allocate […]

Fireflies caught in Mason jars, chased barefoot. Cornhole played on plush lawns or basketball on your neighborhood net, the games ending only when the street lights came on. Hours spent shaping sandcastles on the beach, or digging holes just to watch with satisfaction as they filled with water from the bottom up.

And the food — oh, the food! Laid on tablecloths and served outdoors on picnic tables, summer barbecues are the ultimate joys of the season. Close your eyes and remember the tantalizing scent of charcoal as hot dogs blistered and split their skins on the grill. Burgers sizzling on the grates, flipped by someone wearing a “Kiss the Cook” apron. Ears of fresh corn, growing sweet inside charring husks as baked beans simmer equally slowly. The smacking of lips as rib meat is torn off the bone, then again as thick sauce is licked off the fingers. Then, finally, a hollow thwak as a ripe watermelon is broken open so that seed-spitting contests between cousins can commence.

Do you remember all of that?

I don’t. Although my experiences may have held vestiges of this American daydream, the details were a bit different.

My September Survival Plan involves school supply lists, a fresh planner, and a collection of recipes that are fast, easy, and delicious. With my oldest headed to kindergarten and a little one hitting full-time preschool, I know everyone is going to be exhausted and hungry when we get home every weeknight from Monday to Friday. I also know that a home-cooked meal that I can pull off in about 35 minutes is the quickest way to revive the brood and get them back into our school-night routine. These recipes are some of our family favorites (hello, 10-minute tacos) and some that I’m hoping will become new regulars at our table.

Over the years I’ve perfected a version of homemade pesto chicken salad after ordering it countless times at any number of restaurants. It pairs fresh pesto with sun-dried tomatoes with shredded chicken — the ideal preparation for catching all the bits of herbs, cheese, and nuts that makes this recipe the best.
