Weeknight cooking can seem daunting when back to school rolls around and schedules get hectic. One of my favorite weeknight cooking hacks for busy times is to cook once and eat it multiple times throughout the week. To prevent my family from getting tired of a certain dish, I like to make multiple meals out of one recipe. I partnered with my friends at Tony Chachere’s to create this delicious Slow Cooker Cajun BBQ Chicken recipe that you can eat three different ways throughout the week. This recipe will quickly become one of your go-to weeknight meals that your whole family will love.

If you love pie, but are intimidated to make one at home, a galette is the way to go. Its a much simpler, rustic way to get your pie fix and honestly even an inexperienced baker can do it. Summertime is my favorite time of year to make a galette because summer fruit is my favorite. Peaches in particular are one of my favorite summer fruits to bake with and using them in this galette is the way to go. My recipe for this easy peach galette is one you are going to want to make for the rest of the summer.

Squash season is here, and while most people tend to prepare it cooked, squash and zucchini can actually be enjoyed raw as well. I find that for people who tend to not love squash and zucchini cooked because of texture, actually prefer to eat them raw for this reason. A squash salad is the perfect side dish to use up all of that squash you have in your fridge all summer long. This recipe for raw squash salad with feta and herbs is a fresh salad that pairs perfectly with grilled meats or fish and is easy to prepare any night of the week.
