5 quick and easy weeknight dinner recipes

On weeknights, there’s just not enough time to cook. Between coming home from work, the kids’ homework and taking care of the house, time is short! To give you more time while eating great home-cooked meals, we’ve got a few ideas for weeknight recipes that are ready in under 30 minutes 😊. Plus, with our bags of leeks already washed, sliced and ready to cook available in the grocery store's prepared fruits and vegetables section, preparing weeknight suppers is even simpler!

Instead of ordering out next time, try one of our 5 quick and easy weeknight dinner recipes!

Macaroni and cheese with leeks

Ah, macaroni and cheese 🧀! It’s always a winning weeknight recipe. In the store-bought box where you add the powder, a little milk and butter can do the trick when you’re in a hurry. But you must admit that our recipe for macaroni and cheese with leeks is much better with the right ingredients and takes practically the same time to cook as the store-bought box 😉.

Salmon and leek burgers

Salmon is a versatile protein for a weekday meal. We love salmon steaks, as in the following recipe, but we also love salmon in burger form, especially since our recipe is quick and easy to make, with 7 ingredients we all have at home!

And when burgers are on the menu, you can often see potatoes there too! Good, freshly sliced potatoes in fries or thin rounds with Serge’s homemade potato spice blend is always a hit 🤤.
