March 24 to 28, 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 vegetarian quesadillas to a fresh taco salad. Best of all, they’ll keep you on budget this week.

Monday: Seitan, Green Pea and Edamame Quesadillas

Want a vegetarian twist to the classic quesadilla? With a green pea and edamame spread, crumbled seitan “sausage” and gooey raclette cheese, this recipe will quickly become a family favourite.

Tuesday: Mashed Red Potatoes with Sausages and Peas

A simple and flavourful meal is a perfect treat on busy weeknights. This recipe features Toulouse sausages with creamy mashed potatoes, whose skin is left on for both ease and flavour. A bright lemony sauce and sweet peas bring the whole thing together, making it ideal for a cozy, rainy evening.

Wednesday: Spicy Chicken with Cantaloupe and Chorizo

The combination of chorizo and crushed red pepper flakes is all you need to add some heat to your dinner. Cantaloupe brings a burst of freshness to the chicken dish, thanks to both its taste and bright colour. Add a dollop of plain Greek yogurt and a vegetable of your choice, and you’ve got a simple meal that’s on the table in just 30 minutes.

Thursday: Cornflake-Crusted Fish with Herb Butter

Are you finding it difficult to include fish in family meals? Why not try adding some crisp! By coating white fish fillets with a cornflake cereal, even the most seafood-resistant family members won’t be able to say no. And even less so once they are covered in a butter, lemon and herb sauce!

Friday: Steak Taco Salad

Taco ingredients come together in this fresh and satisfying salad. Juicy beef, crisp lettuce, creamy avocado, zesty lime and crunchy corn chips create a perfect balance, while a tangy sour cream, feta and lime dressing takes it to the next level. It’s a refreshing twist on a classic favourite!
