Weeknights can get busy – we totally get it – and sometimes ordering take out, reheating leftovers, or snacking on carrots and dip are all we can muster. We’ve all been there.
When you want to make an easy, crowd-pleasing, and fast weeknight dinner that is above all, healthy, we have you covered with this extensive collection, with something for everyone.
Pasta
Each of these family-friendly pasta dishes come together in 30 minutes or less – perfect for rushed weeknights.
Salads
Say goodbye to boring, limp salads. These are hearty enough to be a main and can be bumped up even more with the addition of cooked and cooled whole grains or lean protein.
On the grill
Grilling is great for time-crunched evenings as there are not pots and pans to wash. These inventive recipes make the most of simple and flavourful ingredients.
Made for a crowd
Each of these recipes serves at least six – great for larger families or when entertaining guests.
Single serve
When it’s just you that needs to eat, these recipes for one do the trick.
Fakeaway
Put down the takeout menu and opt for these healthier homemade versions of fast-food favourites.
Sheet Pan
We love a good sheet pan dinner – easy to make and easy to clean. Here are six that can work for any speedy meal.
Tacos
A perennial favourite, tacos are fun to eat and endlessly customizable.
