August 12 to 16, 2024: Budget Recipes to Cook This Week

What’s on the menu for this week? Make everyone around the table happy with our selection of five quick and tasty dishes, including maple-marinated chicken, seared fish and tasty beef skewers cooked on the grill!

Monday: Quinoa and Tofu with Kale Salad

Looking for a meal that’s brimming with healthful stuff? This colourful power bowl is loaded with kale, quinoa, tofu, toppings like grapes and radishes, and a drizzle of dragon sauce. It doesn’t get any fresher (or tastier!) than this.

Tuesday: Maple and Soy Chicken Legs

Chicken on the grill is a seasonal staple, but it’s always fun to deviate from the usual summer flavours. The chicken legs get a sweet, savoury and spicy kick thanks to the addictive maple sauce–we suggest doubling it–that you’ll just want to keep pouring over the meat and grilled veggies.

Wednesday: Sweet Potato and Roast Pork on Toast

We could never resist an open-faced sammie! Slices of sweet potato and roasted pork tenderloin are served on crisp ciabatta, and topped with a fresh salad with peppery arugula and tart green apples. It’s the perfect combination of textures and flavours.

Thursday: Seared Tilapia with Corn and Cherry Tomato Salad

With fresh corn and tomatoes currently in abundance, it only makes sense to whip up this tasty salad and serve it alongside tilapia, or any other white fish. It’s such a great budget-friendly recipe, and the whole family is sure to enjoy it too.

Friday: Garlic-Marinated Beef Skewers

These beef skewers are a seasonal favourite. Everything hinges on the savoury marinade that marries soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and garlic. For an even more affordable cut of meat, you could also use top sirloin steak. Happy Friday!
