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.

Flank steak is one of my favorite proteins to add to a salad and grilling it is my favorite method of preparation. I marinate flank steak with some balsamic vinegar and then grill it and add it with some of my favorite summer produce like peaches and corn and the combination is pretty epic! I would go as far as to say that this is hands down my new favorite summer salad. This salad is simple to make, healthy, and so delicious too. I can’t wait for you to try this grilled flank steak and peach salad with a balsamic dijon vinaigrette, it’s going to quickly become a new favorite around your house.

I mean who doesn’t love that sticky sauce? That’s why I decided to make my own version right at home. Not only did I lighten up the recipe, but I also simplified it as well, making it the ultimate dish to make on even the busiest of nights. This recipe for lightened up orange chicken is sure to become your new favorite weeknight dinner.

With a few shortcuts, I have created a recipe for chicken pozole verde that you can have on the table quick any night of the week. I took the help from a few store nought items to create the same flavor as a traditional chicken pozole verde, but this recipe can be ready in thirty minutes! Chicken pozole verde is a flavorful Mexican soup that my family loves and I created this easy weeknight version so that whenever the craving hits, I can cook it up fast.
