November 16 to 20, 2026: What to Cook This Week

This week, bring some colour and comfort to your menu with these five simple and delicious meal ideas. From a unique way of serving dumplings to a sheet-pan tofu dish, by way of a hearty sandwich, inspiration is in the air at dinnertime.

Monday: Breaded Veal Cutlets with Apple Remoulade

A classic that comes together quickly on a Monday night! Take these breaded veal cutlets up a notch with an apple and celeriac remoulade dressed in a horseradish mayonnaise. The delightful contrast between the crispy meat and the creamy salad will be enjoyed by everyone around the table.

Tuesday: Crispy Sheet-Pan Tofu with Red Curry Noodles

This flavourful Asian-inspired dish features rice noodles coated in a red curry sauce that are served over oven-roasted tofu and garnished with sugar snap peas and bell pepper. Garnish with fresh Thai basil for a vegetarian dinner that’ll quickly become part of your regular weeknight rotation.

Wednesday: Dumpling and Smashed Cucumber Salad

For a quick and hassle-free meal, go with this salad that requires little prep. Once the dumplings have been cooked and the cucumbers smashed, assemble your plate by adding onions, corn, cherry tomatoes and a flavourful dressing. It’ll be on the table and ready to enjoy in under 30 minutes.

Thursday: Sheet-Pan Curried Vegetables and Trout

Break out your baking sheet once more this week to whip up this pretty recipe. Glaze your trout with a yogurt and curry dressing before baking, and complete the dish with squash, bell pepper and onion. The result is a handy dish for a busy weeknight.

Friday: Ham Submarines with Antipasto Salad and Mustard Sauce

We’re of the opinion that loaded sandwiches for Friday night dinner are a great way to cap off the week. Top with a salad of lettuce leaves, radicchio and antipasto and then complete it with some cheddar cheese. They’re sure to be a hit with the whole family.
