Looking for some quick weeknight meals?

Take your mac and cheese up a notch with our curried version, topped with bread crumbs. Experiment with different curry powders to find your favourite flavour.

Our Tex-mex-inspired bean bake is a crowd-pleaser. Mixed beans are sautéed with onions, red pepper, garlic, tomatoes and spices, then topped with crispy tortilla chips and cheddar cheese. This hearty casserole is delicious on its own or served with rice.

The secret to our easy cabbage rolls? Coleslaw mix.

Get all the flavour of this classic dish without the fuss of blanching and rolling cabbage. Beef and rice are simmered in a simple tomato sauce before they are layered with coleslaw mix and baked.
