September 8 to 12, 2025: What to Cook This Week

What’s for dinner? We’re answering that famous question with pork chops, sheet-pan shrimp and more for a delicious week ahead. Together, these recipes bridge the seasons: Some are crisp and bright with late-summer produce, while others are nourishing and transitional for fall. Which ones will you add to your rotation?

Monday: Harvest Vegetable Naan Bread

It’s harvest season, so given that you’re probably swimming in excess zucchini, eggplant and cherry tomatoes from the garden, make this perfect no-cook recipe that’s a cross between an open-faced sandwich and pizza.

Tuesday: Pork Chops with Apple-Mustard Sauce and Arugula Salad

Inexpensive, quick and easy to cook, there’s a reason why pork chops are a weeknight staple. This 30-minute recipe has the browned chops coated in a sweet and savoury apple-mustard sauce, and they’re served alongside an arugula salad.

Wednesday: Chicken Cordon Bleu

Craving a cozy classic? Try this chicken cordon bleu recipe, which is chicken breast stuffed with thin slices of ham and Gruyère cheese, and then breaded. As it cooks, the breadcrumbs become perfectly crispy while the cheese melts beautifully, meaning no sauce is required for this already rich and saucy dish.

Thursday: Sheet-Pan Shrimp, Black Beans and Chorizo

Who can resist sheet-pan recipes that are quick, easy… and avoid piles of dirty dishes after dinner? This dish is particularly fun to eat, thanks to its bright colours and flavours. The kids will simply love it!

Friday: Beef and Cheese Taquitos

For a simple and delicious meal to jump-start the weekend, try these beefy, cheesy taquitos. Simply place your cooked ground meat and cheese on a tortilla, roll and brown in a skillet. Once they get all crispy and golden, you’re ready for a fiesta!
