For the Days You Don't Want to Cook, Give These Recipes a Try

There are those days when just the thought of cooking a meal makes us exhausted. Even the simplest tasks can seem like way too much work, but we do still have to feed our family. And while it may be a fabulous treat to order take-out from your favourite restaurant, that can get expensive very quickly, and it is not always the healthiest option for your family on a regular basis.

So, for the days when you don’t want to cook, give these recipes a try:

Halibut Cakes with Tartar Sauce

This is a delicious recipe to make homemade halibut cakes with tartar sauce. Or, you can skip all the hard work and purchase our pre-made halibut or crab cakes from Spragg’s Meat Shop. Heat your oven to 350 degrees, add the frozen or thawed patties to an oiled pan and slip into the oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden and crispy, flipping halfway. How easy and amazing does that sound?!
