August 24-28, 2026: What to cook this week

Monday: Tofu rolls

For a budget-friendly yet equally delicious version of a shrimp or lobster roll, try this vegetarian tofu sandwich. It includes all the usual ingredients, like mayonnaise, pickles, celery, and, of course, the traditional hot dog bun. A perfect weeknight meal to keep that summer holiday feeling alive a little longer.

Tuesday: Rice noodles with beef, red curry and peanuts

Looking to spice up your Tuesday dinner? This Asian-inspired dish is bursting with flavor thanks to a blend of red curry, fish sauce, and soy sauce. Simply pour the sauce over the ground beef at the end of cooking, then add crisp baby bok choy, rice noodles, roasted peanuts, and fresh cilantro. A taste of the tropics awaits with this recipe ready in under 30 minutes.

Wednesday: Air fryer chicken drumsticks with satay sauce

Looking for a new dish to add to your air fryer recipe repertoire? This chicken satay has it all. The sauce is quick to make: simply mix the ingredients, then heat it in the microwave while the drumsticks cook in the air fryer. The result is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, topped with a creamy, flavorful sauce. Serve it all with rice vermicelli and a cucumber salad.

Thursday: Lima bean casserole with green coconut milk sauce

This vegan meal is perfect for a weeknight. The green sauce combines onions, zucchini, and spinach, to which coconut milk and fresh basil are added before being puréed. All the ingredients cook in the same pot, making preparation even simpler. A recipe to add to our dinner repertoire!

Friday: One-pot pasta with Nordic prawns, lemon, and parmesan

While the weather is still warm, opt for a light pasta dish with a touch of lemon. Add a generous portion of Nordic shrimp at the end of cooking, along with arugula to retain its crisp texture. Garnish with fresh basil and Parmesan cheese, and enjoy a refreshing meal outdoors.
