Prepared butter chicken can be used as filling for wraps, enchiladas, samosas, and stuffed squash. Or, serve it on top of nachos, baked potatoes, pasta, roasted cauliflower, or cauliflower rice.

Assemble and pack any of your favourite salads to take with you on the go. Prepare dressing ahead of time too to bring along (hint: use your Epicure Prep Bowl!) but dress the salad only right before eating to prevent it from getting soggy.

Round out your Taco Tuesday by pairing any taco recipe with Epicure’s Guacamole and Poco Picante Salsa.

In the fall and winter months, it can be hard to find seasonal fruits depending on where you live. Purchasing canned or frozen fruit can be a more cost-effective way to make sure you’re getting servings of fruit all year round.

Prepare the stroganoff sauce with mushrooms only (no meat!) and spoon it over grilled chicken or steak for a fancy and delicious finish to your dish.

Combine prepared enchilada sauce with cooked protein of your choice for a saucy filling to enjoy in any number of Mexican takeout favourites at home, such as burritos, tacos, tamales, and Mexican-inspired casseroles.

If you’re looking to lower the fat content in your diet, opt for light coconut milk instead of full-fat options.

If you want to serve fresh tarts, streamline prep by baking and cooling the frozen tart shells beforehand. You can also prepare the butter tart filling ahead of time, cover, and store in the fridge until ready to bake (this may affect cook times).

Stir any leftover pumpkin pie filling with cream cheese, Greek yogurt, or whipped topping to make a sweet pumpkin dip. Dunk in apple slices, graham crackers, or gingersnaps.

Cut your shortbread cookies into fun shapes with cookie cutters! Before baking, chill dough in the fridge for at least 1 hour, then use a rolling pin to roll dough between two sheets of parchment to flatten. Dough can be rerolled as many times as you need without getting tough so every bit can be used.
