Kielbasa, a Polish sausage that is sold already cooked, transforms this potato salad into a satisfying meal. You want the potatoes to hold their shape in the salad, so drain them as soon as they're fork-tender. Leftovers make a delicious lunch, even when served cold. Cost: $2.90/serving
Decadent, fork-tender beef ribs are a crowd favourite. English-cut ribs are meaty single portion beef ribs that can be ordered at your butcher's counter; the balsamic vinegar helps moderate their richness. Serve with roasted or mashed potatoes and fresh summer vegetables.
Strip loin grilling steak is a tender cut to cook right away but is even more flavourful if marinated first. You can also use rib eye, tenderloin or top sirloin grilling steak. With the zucchini grilled alongside, this is a no-fuss meal.
A traditional Portuguese Christmas Eve staple, salt cod is homey yet perfect for company. Start a day ahead since the salt cod will need plenty of time to soak.
This family favourite comes together in only 35 minutes, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
Mexican food is always a hit at the dinner table. Do you like things a little more on the spicy side? Use medium or hot enchilada sauce instead of the mild and add another jalapeno to the chicken mixture.
