July 1 to 5, 2024: Budget Recipes to Cook This Week

What’s on the menu this week? Seasonal dishes that are affordable and easy to prepare. From a light and fresh pasta recipe to chicken drumsticks on the grill, the whole family will be delighted.

Monday: Spaghetti with Pecorino and Fresh Tomatoes

This is a simple recipe that requires just a few ingredients and is ready in a flash. Any pasta that you already have on hand will do. The tomatoes bring the freshness and sweetness, and the pecorino adds that perfect touch of saltiness.

Tuesday: Hot Dogs with Pineapple and Red Pepper Salsa

During summer, hot dogs are the usual go to when you want to whip up something fast after a long day. But you can still take the basic hot dog and make it fancy! Cue this simple pineapple and red bell pepper salsa, which brings freshness and crunch to each bite. Even the kids can help you make it.

Wednesday: Pan-Fried Cod with Ginger, Zucchini and Avocado

Want to enjoy fish a bit differently than usual? Then try this gorgeous cod dish. Paired with zucchini and avocado, the cod is served with an umami-rich broth that is simply out of this world.

Thursday: Pork and Prosciutto Medallions with Zucchini-Mint Salad

Cantaloupe and prosciutto are a classic duo (particularly in Italy!), but we took the pairing and did something a little different with this recipe. The pork tenderloin medallions are wrapped in prosciutto and then grilled, and the melon is served in a refreshing side salad along with zucchini, spinach and mint. 

Friday: Grilled Sesame Drumsticks with Coleslaw

Chicken drumsticks are budget friendly and easy to cook, which makes them a summertime essential. Coated with an umami-rich marinade and cooked on the grill, serve them alongside a crunchy coleslaw and grilled corn for a meal fit for a Friday!
