June 9 to 13, 2025: What to Cook This Week

What’s for dinner? We’re answering the famous question with a simple asparagus and chickpea salad, grilled beef skewers, a healthful trout dish, and more for a delicious week ahead.

Monday: Asparagus and Chickpea Salad with Grilled Halloumi Cheese

Halloumi is one of the best grilling cheeses out there, and there are so many ways to enjoy it during the summer months. Your new favourite salad is sure to be this vegetarian version with asparagus, chickpeas and zucchini, tossed in a simple mayonnaise-based dressing and topped with—of course—a slice of tasty halloumi.

Tuesday: Grilled Citrus Chicken

This tasty grilled chicken recipe is easy to make and requires little prep time. Let the chicken marinate in a mixture of garlic, citrus juice, spices and honey, and then cook on the grill. Serve the meat with a salad for a bright and refreshing weeknight meal. Bonus if you enjoy it out on the patio!

Wednesday: Pork Patties with Grilled Pineapple and Broccoli

Who can resist this meal that comes together in a flash? The savoury pork topped with hoisin sauce pairs wonderfully with the sweetness of the grilled pineapple, and it rounds out to a complete meal with a side of broccoli and rice.

Thursday: Trout with Beet Salad

Looking for a dish that can be made in just a few steps? Simply brown the trout in a skillet, and serve with a colourful spinach, beet and fennel salad. It’s delicious, easy to make and ready in just under 30 minutes

Friday: Spicy Beef Skewers

Who doesn’t enjoy food you can eat on a stick? For dinner tonight, marinate and thread your beef cubes, fire up the grill, and then serve these spicy skewers with a green salad. This recipe will be a new weeknight favourite during the summer months.
