July 29 to August 2, 2024: Budget Recipes to Cook This Week

What’s for dinner this week? From a vegetarian power bowl to a tasty shrimp stir-fry, here are five meal ideas made with simple, easy-to-cook ingredients…at a price point you can get behind!

Monday: Glazed Tofu Bowl

Looking for a new way to serve tofu that the whole family will enjoy? Here, the plant protein is coated in cornstarch and browned until perfectly crisp and crunchy, and then tossed in a sticky and syrupy soy sauce and honey glaze. Served atop rice noodles and alongside various veggies, it’s healthful and delicious.

Tuesday: Hot Dogs with Braised Cabbage and Spicy Mayonnaise

This grilling classic gets quite the upgrade with juicy Italian sausage cooked on the grill and a tangy braised red cabbage and bell pepper mix. The smoked paprika and cayenne mayonnaise adds a perfectly spicy touch to this fuss-free meal.

Wednesday: Shrimp Stir-Fry with Charred Lemon

This fresh shrimp recipe is a winning meal idea; once you get home from work, dinner will be on the table in a flash. This dish is bursting with bright flavour thanks to the browned lemon and, best of all, it can be prepared in a single skillet. Perfect for summer!

Thursday: Steaks with Toasted Garlic and Stewed Cherry Tomatoes

If you’re looking for a tasty dinner idea, this recipe definitely sets the bar when it comes to simple warm weather dishes. The steak is marinated in a toasted garlic oil and lemon juice mix, and then grilled to perfection. It especially tastes wonderful when served with stewed tomatoes that also act as a sauce.

Friday: Chicken Caesar Burger

Burgers are a Friday night summer staple, but instead of the usual beef version, chicken is another go-to option. Loaded with bacon, lettuce, tomato and topped with a briny caper mayonnaise, this Caesar salad-inspired dish will become a new seasonal favourite the whole family will love.
