Sloppy Chicken Tacos

Switch up the toppings on these saucy tacos depending on what you’ve got in your fridge, or try this recipe with ground pork instead of chicken. For a true retro vibe, top with iceberg lettuce and shredded Cheddar.

Easy Rigatoni Veal Bolognese

With minimal time to prepare, this new take on a classic Bolognese ensures ample time to enjoy the company of friends and family while the flavourful sauce reduces to perfection. It also adds some French Canadian flare with fresh, locally sourced Quebec ground veal.

Spicy Peanut Shrimp and Noodles

Skip the takeout line and whip up this Asian-inspired stir-fry at home, instead. It's the perfect dish for using up odds and ends that are kicking around in the fridge, so feel free to switch up the veggies or substitute the shrimp for sliced chicken breast on days when you're too busy to grocery shop.

Lazy Pea and Saffron Risotto

A labour of love, creamy risotto is generally reserved for special occasions, but our easy weeknight version doesn't need the nonstop stirring that traditionally makes the dish difficult to prepare. If you don't want to use wine, simply substitute with 1/2 cup broth.

Smoked Sausage Minestrone

For a cheesy crostini garnish, sprinkle toasted slices of baguette with shredded cheddar and bake in 375°F oven until cheese is melted.

Sheet Pan Chicken & Cauliflower With Mustard & Parmesan

Lazy Veggie Skillet Lasagna

Think it's impossible to make lasagna on a weeknight? This dynamic mix of veggies and pasta still delivers comforting flavour but comes together quickly because there's no fussy layering.

Grilled Antipasto Focaccia Sandwich

Italian food is all about sharing, so why not serve a giant sweet and spicy grilled sandwich as an appetizer? Offer it up on a wooden board with a serrated knife and invite company to cut their own pieces—as little or as big as they like.

Grilled Maple Mustard Short Ribs

We've given Korean short ribs a Canadian touch by marinating them in a sweet, tangy blend of balsamic vinegar, maple syrup and Dijon. Korean-style ribs are sliced super thin, so they soak up the flavours and cook in minutes.

Beef & Bean Chili

Add two to three minced canned chipotle chilies in adobo sauce when you stir in the jalapeños for an extra spice boost.
