November 25 to 29, 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 sweet potato soup to chicken cutlets, these dishes will definitely keep you full and on budget this week.

Monday: Dumpling and Smashed Cucumber Salad

We decided to combine two trending recipes: dumpling salad and smashed cucumbers! This makes for a quick weekday recipe (ready in less than 30 minutes) that can be enjoyed as lunch or as a side dish with dinner.

Tuesday: Hearty Chorizo and Sweet Potato Soup

This hearty dish puts chorizo, celery, onion, garlic and sweet potato in the spotlight. Plunge these colourful, tasty ingredients into a broth, followed by kale and white beans. Serve with cheesy bread croutons for a Tuesday night meal full of spice.

Wednesday: Beef Keftas on Naan Bread

Make the most of the ground beef in your freezer with this flavourful weeknight dinner idea. These easy-to-make keftas are perfectly seasoned and served on warm, pillowy naan. The accompanying yogurt sauce brings a needed touch of coolness and a bit of heat.

Thursday: Breaded Chicken Cutlets

A breaded and pan-fried chicken cutlet is absolutely irresistible! With a flavourful coating and a bright lemon mayonnaise on the side, serve it with a salad and you’ve got your new favourite weeknight dish.

Friday: Fish Tacos with Tomatillo Salsa

On a cold November night, there’s nothing better than bringing a taste of summer to the dinner table. With this taco recipe, you’ll love the contrast of the soft white fish (you can use sole, tilapia or haddock) against the fresh crunch of the slaw. Serve with lime wedges, salad and a tomatillo salsa. If you’re feeling extra spicy, enjoy it with a beer and lime wedge. After all, it’s Friday!
