January 23 to 27, 2023: What to Cook This Week

On the menu this week we bring some variety to the table with two vegetarian options including a white bean chili. There is room for some meat dishes, too, with slow cooker pork chops, ginger chicken and beef macaroni. There’s something to please every taste!

Monday: Beef Macaroni

Classic macaroni takes us back to our childhood and this recipe is perfect for using up the vegetables you have on hand in the fridge. It’s a comfort classic that will please the whole family at dinnertime, not to mention the leftovers (if there are any!) for lunches the next day.

Tuesday: ​​White Chili

For a satisfying dinner, make this veggie version of beef chili that brings together white beans, potatoes and cauliflower. A creamy cheese topping, along with crushed corn chips, adds comfort and texture to this easy-to-make vegetarian dish.

Wednesday: Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Mustard Sauce

We always like a good braised dish that can warm us up in the middle of the week, hence this one for chops that are cooked for several hours in a slow cooker to get ultra-tender. Dish out the meat and sauce on each plate and accompany everything with a green salad or a green vegetable of your choice.

Thursday: Grilled Tempeh with Coconut Milk Carrot Salad

Want an uncomplicated vegetarian dinner? Let us introduce you to tempeh! In this recipe, it’s served grilled in a salad with grated carrots, bean sprouts and cilantro for a plate that’s full of freshness.

Friday: Ginger Chicken

End the week in style with this ginger chicken recipe packed with flavour. We serve the breast strips coated in a spicy sauce and with a side of instant rice—which saves even more time!

Bonus: Greek Yogurt Dip with Herbs, Olives and Cherry Tomatoes

For an after-work drink with friends on Friday or as a weekend aperitif when you're hosting, this hearty dip will definitely wow your guests. To prepare it, simply place a colourful medley of olives, cherry tomatoes and pine nuts on top of Greek yogurt. To finish, drizzle with a spicy oil with fresh herbs to bring some welcome heat to your evening.
