November 2 to 6, 2026: What to Cook This Week

What’s for dinner? We’re answering the famous question with recipes like pork and mushroom noodles, a chicken soup bursting with South Asian flavours and more for a delicious week ahead. Which ones will become fast favourites in your home this fall?

Monday: Beef and Bell Pepper Subs

Craving a loaded sandwich on this Monday night? This beefy hoagie has the look and taste of one you pay for at a restaurant, but it is all the more satisfying (and cost effective) when made at home.

Tuesday: Hearty Indian-Style Chicken Soup

Soup is the ultimate comfort food as the weather outside gets colder. This simple recipe is filled with fresh and satisfying ingredients, like veggies, basmati rice and precooked roast chicken from the supermarket. And don’t forget that satisfying kick courtesy of ginger, curry powder and chili pepper!

Wednesday: Sheet-Pan Fish Tacos with Cilantro Salsa

While we may be in the middle of fall, we sometimes just want a fresh meal that takes us back to a warmer time not too long ago. Serve these fish tacos with a bright cilantro salsa that tastes just like summer.

Thursday: Penne with Vegetarian Red Lentil Sauce

Even the kids won’t miss the meat when they try this meatless pasta dish starring lentils. The legumes soften and mix well with the other ingredients (such as zucchini, diced tomatoes and dried tomatoes), making the sauce reminiscent of meat. It’s a colourful and nourishing dish!

Friday: Noodles with Shiitake Mushrooms and Pork

This noodle dish gets its umami taste by using shiitake mushrooms two ways. First, sear the caps and mix them with noodles and ground pork. Then, chop the stems and roast them in the oven to create a crunchy garnish. It’s delicious, fancy looking and perfect for a Friday night!
