Monday: Warm Legume and Fried Tofu Salad
Are you a fan of meatless Mondays? This vegetarian dish goes perfectly with the cold season, in addition to bringing colour to the plate. Golden-fried tofu is placed on a spicy mixture of legumes and vegetables, including diced butternut squash. Since the squash is only partially used in this recipe, nothing is wasted by using the rest for Wednesday’s squash meal-soup.

Tuesday: Roast Chicken with Caramelized Onion
Roasting a chicken means warming the kitchen and creating those delicious cooking aromas that whet the appetite. It’s a welcoming weeknight comfort food dish that needs to be planned out, though with a cooking time of 1 hour and 30 minutes, it gives you the opportunity to supervise the children’s homework and choose which chicken wing flavour you’ll serve during the upcoming weekend’s Super Bowl.
Wednesday: Hearty Tortellini and Squash Soup
Shortcuts in the kitchen are essential on weeknights and we do exactly that here with this recipe, favouring commercial stuffed pasta as the basic ingredient of this soup. In addition to squash (started in Monday's recipe!), spinach and sage enhance the delicious broth that is presented in a steaming bowl.

Thursday: Sausages with Roasted Vegetables and Apples
Who says yes to fewer after-dinner dishes? In this simple recipe, we use a baking sheet to roast vegetables that’s also used for serving. Distribute the sausages and sauce (which cook in the same pan) and place everything in the centre of the table. All that remains is to serve yourself.
