March 3 to 7, 2025: Budget Recipes to Cook This Week

Looking for a few tasty and delicious dinner ideas? We’ve got you covered! Check out these five weeknight recipes to try, from a hearty vegetarian soup to a cozy chili. Best of all, they’ll keep you on budget this week.

Monday: Hearty Vegetable and Chickpea Soup

Grab a couple of cans of chickpeas from the pantry and whip up a pot of this heartwarming soup! It’s filled with delicious and nutritious vegetables, and is hearty enough to be a full meal on its own.

Tuesday: Giant Broccoli Meatballs

Broccoli is an awesome veggie that can be enjoyed in so many ways. However, the kids may not see it for the beneficial food that it is. That’s why, sometimes, it’s okay to hide it in a meal they enjoy, like meatballs. They won’t even know it’s there!

Wednesday: Chicken Taquitos

If you’re looking for something fun and family friendly, look no further than these fried chicken taquitos. Made with shredded chicken and cheese, and then wrapped in a tortilla, it’s a recipe you’ll be sure to get requests for again and again.

Thursday: Mackerel Cakes with Tartar Sauce

These tasty mackerel croquettes are a different take on fish cakes, which you’re probably used to making with a white fish like cod or haddock, or maybe even tuna.They’re filling, and when served alongside a salad, make for the perfect dinnertime dish.

Friday: Indian-Spiced Chili

Winter is very much still here, so chili remains a top dinner choice when it’s cold outside and you’re craving something comforting. But instead of the usual fare, try giving your recipes a tasty twist. Like this one, which takes the classic chili but infuses it with Indian-inspired flavours like curry powder and coconut milk.
