Monday: Lunch Bowl with Egg, Vegetables, Hummus and Toasted Pita
A few shortcuts are all you need to speed up the preparation of this vegetarian recipe. Make the most of store-bought products, such as vacuum-packed cooked beets, hummus and cottage cheese. As for cooking, use the same water to cook the green beans and the eggs. Serve this hearty meal-in-a-bowl, which will satisfy the whole family, with pieces of toasted pita bread.
Tuesday: Sheet-Pan Curried Vegetables and Trout
Your sheet pan is going back to work this week, helping you simplify this dinner prep. Use it to roast the vegetables, then add the fish fillets later. Brush the fillets with a curry dressing and sprinkle them with mint leaves as they come out of the oven. Complete this super flavourful dish with couscous and serve the trout with mint yogurt.
Wednesday: Pasta with Zucchini and Pancetta
Zucchini and pancetta are your allies for this pasta dish that’s ready in a jiffy. Brown them in a skillet with green onion, garlic and red pepper flakes, then add the bucatini to the mixture. The final touch? A sprinkling of cheese and fresh herbs. An easy and satisfying meal for everyone.
Thursday: French Onion and Tomato Soup
Count on this French classic to bring a dose of comfort to the table. Make this variant with cherry tomatoes by caramelizing onions in butter, then deglaze and add the broth. Ladle the soup into oven-proof bowls and top with a bread slice and a layer of cheese. A gratiné soup you’ll welcome with absolute delight!

Friday: Hot Chicken Sandwiches
Hot chicken sandwiches are one of those comforting dishes that evoke childhood memories for many people. We chose to make this recipe with dinner rolls to stuff instead of the usual slices of bread to avoid oversoaking the crumb. And instead of using cooked chicken, your holiday leftover turkey will do fine. Brighten this classic with homemade brown gravy and green peas.
