September 9 to 13, 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 crunchy vegetarian croquettes to oven-baked sausages, these dishes will definitely keep you full and on budget this week.

Monday: Curried Tofu Croquettes

Serve tofu differently thanks to these crunchy croquettes. The plant-based protein is crumbled, then mixed with an egg and cornstarch as well as an onion and curry powder paste. The result is these tasty patties, best enjoyed with a sweet chili sauce for dipping and a side salad or green veggie of your choice.

Tuesday: Ground Beef Pita Sandwiches

For a quick and easy dinner idea the kids will enjoy, try these pita sandwiches using that ground beef that’s sitting in the freezer. It’s a nice change of pace from a classic beef burger, and the flavourful yogurt sauce simply shines with the addition of tangy sumac.

Wednesday: Cod with Fennel and Cherry Tomatoes

With its sweet taste, cod is a very accessible fish that everyone can enjoy. It doesn’t completely take over the dish because it’s combined with stronger flavours like tomato and fennel. It’s also a fairly affordable option and you can save even more money by pairing it with a decent serving of pasta.

Thursday: Baked Sausage with Green Beans

This meal idea combines Italian sausage, green beans and snow peas for an easy and delicious one-pan meal. Ready in just 30 minutes, this hearty and flavourful dish is perfect for busy weeknights.

Friday: Sheet-Pan Chicken Fajitas

Chicken is always a winning meal idea for a Friday. It can adapt to almost any flavour and tonight, it’s the star in these sheet-pan fajitas, alongside roasted red onions and bell peppers! Stimulate your kids’ creativity by placing all the toppings on the table in separate bowls. They’ll be excited to fill their own tortillas with colourful ingredients.
