Life's Simple Ingredient

Post-Labour Day Quick Meals

Quick and easy meals the whole family will love

Labour Day. The passing of the long weekend might mark the end of summer for a lot of us. With a little luck, there are still some warm summer nights to enjoy after the kids get home from school. We know planning dinners might not be the easiest thing to do as you ease back into the swing of the school year, so we’ve whipped up a few simple, nutritious recipes. You can serve food the whole family will love, with minimal fuss.

Veggie Mac ‘N’ Cheese provides a healthy spin on a childhood favourite, sneaking some vegetables into a favourite pasta. It only takes a little longer than the stuff from the box, and you’ll feel better about serving it to your family.

A crustless quiche made from a mixture of eggs and whole-wheat flour is quick, and allows you to work in any vegetables or meats you wish, perfect for fussy eaters or getting rid of leftovers in the fridge on a busy night. It all comes together in less than thirty minutes.

Bulgur wheat bowls offer a multitude of options, but we really love them for a simple dinner. Completely customizable, these bowls rely on bulgur cracked wheat as a base. Prepare your toppings while the bulgur cooks or ahead of time and you have a meal everyone in the family will love in a matter of minutes.

All of these meals have delicious, hearty, nutritious, whole wheat as a base. It’s Life’s Simple Ingredient, simplifying your busy back-to-school evenings.
