We just alternated who was crying after school this week. Big shifts in the hustle out the door in the morning and tension on the playground and less time to tinker. I get it. Back to school is emotional. I personally love it, but I get it :) This week's recipes are quick and simple, to get everyone back in the swing of things.

This is a new way of salmon for us, that I picked up from Cooks Illustrated. The brining before cooking. We actually do it with chicken these day before grilling as well and while subtle, it does keep it more moist. Curious what you think. There is an easy summer pasta and a skillet full of nachos - our kids favorite second to the ice cream sams. Hope you find something that works for you and your people this week! Please don't hesitate with questions!
