June 15 to 19, 2026: What to Cook This Week

What’s on the menu for the week ahead? Make everyone around the table happy with this selection of five quick and delicious recipes, from a vegetarian power bowl to beef skewers with a kick. Which ones will you add to your summertime rotation?

Monday: Cold Sesame Noodles with Smoked Tofu

For a tasty meatless meal, try this hearty bowl. Divide the cold egg noodles, tossed with iceberg lettuce and coated in an umami-rich green onion and soy sauce dressing, among bowls before adding the wonderfully smoked tofu. Top with julienned cucumber and radishes for a perfectly crunchy texture!

Tuesday: Pork Salad Pita Sandwiches

These pita sandwiches are a great hassle-free meal after a long day. Load a juicy pork salad with olives, green onions and red bell pepper into a thick pita pocket along with pesto, tomatoes, lettuce and cucumber ribbons, and you’ve got a fresh and light meal everyone will enjoy.

Wednesday: Grilled Sesame Drumsticks with Coleslaw

Chicken drumsticks are budget friendly and easy to cook, which makes them a summertime essential. Coated with an umami-rich marinade and cooked on the grill, serve them alongside a crunchy coleslaw and grilled corn for a meal fit to get you over that midweek hump!

Thursday: Grilled Shrimp with Romaine Lettuce and Coconut Milk Dressing

Lettuce is in abundance during summer, so this colourful recipe is a must! One-half of a romaine heart is the base of this sunny summer dish, acting as the vehicle for the grilled shrimp, fresh mango salad and bright coconut milk dressing.

Friday: Spicy Beef Skewers

It’s Friday night and we promise dinner will be on the table in under an hour, thanks to this 15-minute marinade. Sweet, spicy and tangy, flavours are firing on all cylinders tonight and these beef skewers will become a new favourite as the warmer weather continues on.
