Looking for a few tasty and delicious dinner ideas? We’ve got you covered! Check out these five weeknight recipes to try, from a meatless stuffed pita sandwich to Mediterranean-style chicken. Best of all, they’ll keep you on budget this week.

Monday: Buffalo Cauliflower Pitas

This vegetarian recipe is anything but boring! Spiced cauliflower florets are generously coated in a hot sauce and then nestled in a pita pocket. Add some lime yogurt and top with crunchy veggies, and you’ve got yourself a delicious Monday night dinner.

Tuesday: Beef and Mushroom Pasta with Peanuts

This spaghetti dish doesn’t feel heavy, but is still hearty from the mushrooms and the steak pieces. With a light sauce featuring hoisin, soy sauce and lime juice, followed by a sprinkling of crunchy peanuts, it’s a satisfying meal the whole family can get behind.

Wednesday: Sweet and Sour Pork Chops with Peas, Cucumber and Mango

Whip up this delicious meal in just 30 minutes! Perfect for busy weeknights, this budget-friendly dish will surprise you with its tangy flavours. The side salad consists of mango, peas and cucumber, for a refreshing bite each and every time.

Thursday: Shrimp Stir-Fry with Charred Lemon

This fresh shrimp recipe is a winning meal idea; once you get home from work, dinner will be on the table in a flash. This dish is bursting with bright flavour thanks to the browned lemon and, best of all, it can be prepared in a single skillet.

Friday: RICARDO Mediterranean-Style Chicken Breast

Give yourself a break this evening; after all, it’s Friday night! Instead, grab our pre-marinated chicken from your local IGA, Sobeys or Safeway store. Bursting with flavours of the Mediterranean like lemon, parsley and garlic, simply cook them on the grill, serve along with a side salad, and dinner is taken care of!
