May 8 to 12, 2023: What to cook this week

You’ll be bringing smiles to the table this week, with surefire meals that will delight the whole family. From a macaroni dish to sloppy joes, we’ve got original recipes that they’ll ask for again and again.

Monday: Quinoa Salad with Chickpeas and Almonds

Green, that quintessential spring colour, is front and centre on your plate. It sets the tone in this recipe that gives the spotlight to green goddess dressing, made from Greek yogurt, avocado, lime, fine herbs and arugula. Mix this creamy sauce with quinoa and fennel, and garnish with spiced almonds and chickpeas. A gloriously fresh meal, perfect for veggie Mondays.

Tuesday: Trout and Red Cabbage on Naan

How do you get children to devour a fish-based dish? Serve it pizza-style over naan bread slathered with dill-flavoured sour cream. Divide some thinly sliced red cabbage and pieces of oven-baked trout between each naan. A simple and original meal, ready in 30 minutes tops? Now there’s a winner across the board!

Wednesday: Sausage, Broccoli and Cheddar Casserole

Sausage, broccoli and cheddar cheese are the highlight of this comforting recipe. You can cook everything in the same pan, including the spinach for an additional touch of green vegetables. Sprinkle with chives as you take the dish out of the oven and serve it family-style, in the middle of the table, for everyone to dive in.

Thursday: Pesto and Chicken Macaroni

Macaroni dishes are among weeknight favourites. In this recipe, coat the pasta with store-bought pesto and serve it topped with cooked chicken strips and a mix of cherry tomatoes and bocconcini. A flavourful, balanced meal that’s so easy to put together—and that your whole family will gobble up in no time.

Friday: Sloppy Joes

Barbecue season is just around the corner, but until you can get to those burgers on the grill, what could be better than sloppy joes to keep the little ones—and the big kids!—happy! Set the cutlery aside and eat this typically American sandwich with your hands. Deliciously seasoned ground beef on soft buns? What an excellent way to end the week, right?
