Help Wanted: Simple Summer Suppers



The meals from friends have stopped arriving and my freezer stash is rapidly dwindling. Baby Sister joined us almost three months ago; it's time for me to start cooking again. The problem: I'm seriously out of practice and desperately in need of fresh inspiration.


I'm looking for simple, easy supper ideas. I'm talking about short ingredient lists and minimal prep... like cook the shrimp, boil the pasta, and toss it all with olive oil kind of easy. We can't live on grilled chicken with oven fries, shrimp with pasta, and fruit salad for the rest of the summer.

What are your favorite "go-to" summertime meals? You know, the simple recipes that you can recite from memory. Do tell, please. I'm a girl in need of ideas.
