August 19 to 23, 2024: Budget Recipes to Cook This Week

If you’re looking for a few tasty and delicious dinner ideas, we’ve got you covered with these five weeknight recipes. From tender chicken skewers to a beefy and cheesy burger, these dishes will definitely keep you full and on budget this week.

Monday: Buffalo Cauliflower Pitas

This vegetarian recipe is anything but boring! Spiced cauliflower florets are generously coated in a hot sauce and then nestled in a pita pocket. Add some lime yogurt and top with crunchy veggies, and you’ve got yourself a delicious Monday-night dinner.

Tuesday: Sesame Chicken and Vegetable Skewers

Add some Asian flair to your traditional chicken skewers thanks to a rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and sesame oil marinade. The meat becomes savoury, tender and juicy, with no marinating time required. They’re perfect for those busy weeknights!

Wednesday: Shrimp Tacos with Mango Salsa

Celebrate the fact that you’ve made it to the middle of the week by giving yourself (and the family!) a little Mexican fiesta-made-easy. These tacos are paired with a bright and sweet salsa, which helps bring out the juiciness of the shrimp. If you’re feeling extra spicy, don’t hesitate to enjoy your plate with a beer and lime wedge.

Thursday: Pork Chop with Cherry Tomatoes

Pork chops are always a great choice for dinner. Tasty, affordable and easy to make, this recipe is the perfect late-summer meal. Paired with pan-fried cherry tomatoes and zucchini, as well as some tzatziki for dipping, it’s a Greek-inspired recipe that’ll be your new weeknight go-to. (This recipe serves one, but be sure to double or quadruple it as needed.)

Friday: Burgers with Bacon and Chipotle Cheese Sauce

During warm weather, nothing can beat a classic burger; it’s a dish that begs to be made again and again. Make the ultimate patty, using a burger press, and top with generous slices of eggplant, onion and bacon. Also, skip the processed cheese slices and go with a gooey chipotle cheese sauce. Happy Friday!
