March 17 to 21, 2025: Budget Recipes to Cook This Week

What’s for dinner this week? We’ve got five meal ideas for you, made with simple and affordable ingredients, from a vegetarian curry to a vegetable-laden shrimp pasta dish.

Monday: Chickpea, Squash and Almond Curry

This healthful and flavourful dish is quick and easy to make. Gently sauté butternut squash with almond flour, ginger, spices, coconut milk and chickpeas to create an irresistible meal. It's a delicious curry served with rice and naan for a dinner that will satisfy your taste buds.

Tuesday: Sheet-Pan Pork, Vegetables and Lentils

This pork tenderloin recipe served with sweet potato, kale and lentils is the perfect dinnertime option if you’re looking for a simple, flavourful dish that’s quick to make. Not only is it satiating and easy to prepare, everyone will love it and it won’t break the bank.

Wednesday: Curried Cabbage Noodles with Sautéed Beef

Put more vegetables on your plate by replacing pasta with cabbage noodles! Simply cut a cabbage in half and slice it into thin strips. Once coated with an aromatic mixture of curry, soy sauce and honey, you’ll be impressed by how good it tastes.

Thursday: Vegetable and Shrimp Pasta

Peppers, onions, mushrooms and asparagus are the stars of this colourful pasta dish. We love cooking them on a sheet pan, both for the lightly roasted taste it provides to the veggies, but also for how practical it is. Simple, delicious and to be made again and again.

Friday: Chicken Stew with Prunes and Spinach

Want something unique for dinner that’s ready in just three steps? This hearty and flavourful chicken stew will garner raves from the family. It also includes spinach, as well as prunes that soak up all that broth and wind up deliciously plump!
