April 7 to 11, 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 sheet-pan root vegetables to an air fryer salmon.

Monday: Sheet-Pan Curried Root Vegetables and Chickpeas with Mango Sauce

Curried root veggies and chickpeas are roasted to perfection on a sheet pan, delivering bold flavour with minimal effort. Serve with a tangy mango chutney for a vibrant and satisfying weeknight meal.

Tuesday: Sausage and Eggplant Penne

When a busy workday comes to a close, you might need a hearty plate of pasta and meat sauce to decompress. This penne recipe, with a quick sausage, eggplant and roasted bell pepper sauce, will definitely do the trick!

Wednesday: Air Fryer Roasted Salmon and Cauliflower

Running low on time to cook dinner tonight? The air fryer is your ultimate ally! In this recipe, first cook the cauliflower coated with mayonnaise and spices, and towards the end of the cooking process, add the salmon fillets on top so that it can all be ready at the same time. Serve with a red grape and arugula salad on the side.

Thursday: Tofu and Vegetable Curry

This tofu curry is a quick and easy vegetarian meal you can whip up on a weeknight. With a rich and creamy sauce consisting of coconut milk, tomatoes and spices that coat the tofu and the vegetables, you’re in for a fragrant and comforting meal.

Friday: Pan-Fried Chicken with Vegetable Noodles and Tao Dressing

General Tao is getting a makeover this week! The chicken boasts the flavours of its infamous sauce, and gets a spiral of freshness from the vegetable noodles. If you enjoy sweet, spicy and slightly sour flavours, you’re going to have to stop yourself from making it every week!
