Seasonal Recipes with Real Ingredient Costs

The provided Quebec seasonal recipes range from $16.21 to $68.45 per recipe, with prep times from 10 to 20 minutes. [Source: eezly real-time price tracking.] You can use this section as a practical recipe-cost guide because each recipe includes its real total cost, serving count, cost per serving and the priced grocery items available in the data.

Pasta Salad — $45.17 total, $7.53 per serving

Pasta Salad costs $45.17 for 6 servings in Quebec, with a provided cost per serving of $7.53. [Source: eezly real-time price tracking.] This is the featured pasta-tagged seasonal recipe in the collection, and it has the longest listed prep time at 20 minutes. For your June meal planning, it sits in the middle-to-higher range of the provided recipes, below Curry Chicken Salad and Chicken Rice Pasta and Vegetables in total cost, but above Skillet Ziti and Vegetables and Hamburger Rice Skillet.

The priced ingredients show why this recipe has a higher basket cost than the skillet meals. Green Bell Peppers are priced at $7.99 at Metro, Red Onions are $4.99 at Metro, Italian Salad Dressing is $3.99 at Metro, and Olival Black Olives are $4.49 at Maxi. The highest priced item in the Pasta Salad basket is 100% Parmesan Shredded Cheese at $10.29 at Canada inc., while Grape Tomatoes are listed at $2.44 at Maxi.

If you are making this recipe for a picnic-style meal or a make-ahead lunch, you should pay attention to the store spread. Metro appears on several ingredient lines, including Green Bell Peppers, Red Onions, Italian Salad Dressing and Veggie Spirals Teriyaki Style Stirfry Kit at $5.99. Maxi appears on Grape Tomatoes and Olival Black Olives, while Pickled Cucumbers are listed at $4.99 at maxi 1. Your best practical move is to treat this as a multi-store recipe list rather than assuming one banner carries every lowest listed ingredient.

Curry Chicken Salad — $68.45 total, $8.56 per serving

Curry Chicken Salad costs $68.45 for 8 servings in Quebec, with a provided cost per serving of $8.56. [Source: eezly real-time price tracking.] It is the highest-cost recipe among the five provided priced recipes, but it also has the largest serving count at 8. If you are planning for a larger household or for meal-prep lunches, that serving count matters because it spreads the basket across more portions than the six-serving recipes.

The largest listed cost driver is Chicken Breast Boneless Skinless at $22.19 at Canada inc. The basket also includes Red and Green Grapes at $3.99 at Metro, Baby Thompson Seedless Grapes at $6.99 at Canada inc., Mandarin Oranges at $1.12 at Maxi, Canned Fava at $1.69 at Metro, Celery at $4.99 at Metro, Mayonnaise at $4.99 at Metro and Curry Powder at $2.50 at Maxi. These prices make the recipe more dependent on poultry and fruit than the lower-cost skillet recipes.

For your seasonal grocery list, Curry Chicken Salad is useful when you want a cold chicken-based dish and are comfortable with a higher total recipe cost. You should note that the priced basket includes items from Canada inc., Metro and Maxi, so this is not a single-banner shopping plan. If you are comparing recipe costs Quebec-wide, this recipe gives you a clear high-end benchmark within the provided collection.

Skillet Ziti and Vegetables — $16.21 total, $2.70 per serving

Skillet Ziti and Vegetables costs $16.21 for 6 servings in Quebec, with a provided cost per serving of $2.70. [Source: eezly real-time price tracking.] This is the lowest-cost recipe in the provided collection and the most direct fit for the keyword cheap seasonal meals Quebec.

If your household avoids seafood, pork, lamb or red meat, this recipe is the only one in the visible collection with those explicit tags.

Hamburger Rice Skillet — $21.82 total, $3.12 per serving

Hamburger Rice Skillet costs $21.82 for 7 servings in Quebec, with a provided cost per serving of $3.12. [Source: eezly real-time price tracking.] This is the second-lowest cost per serving among the provided recipes and the fastest listed recipe, with a prep time of 10 minutes.

For your weekly meal plan, Hamburger Rice Skillet works well as the low-prep companion to Skillet Ziti and Vegetables. You can choose Skillet Ziti if you want the lowest provided cost per serving, or Hamburger Rice Skillet if you want a seven-serving beef-and-rice option with a 10-minute prep time. Both recipes are materially more budget-focused than the chicken salad and chicken pasta recipes in the visible data.

Chicken Rice Pasta and Vegetables — $50.10 total, $8.35 per serving

Chicken Rice Pasta and Vegetables costs $50.10 for 6 servings in Quebec, with a provided cost per serving of $8.35. [Source: eezly real-time price tracking.] It is the second-highest cost per serving among the provided recipes, below Curry Chicken Salad at $8.56 per serving. If you are shopping for a chicken-based hot meal, this recipe gives you a more dinner-oriented alternative to the cold Curry Chicken Salad.

The recipe also includes Broccoli Shoots at $1.99 at Metro, Celery at $4.99 at Metro, Snow Peas at $3.99 at maxi 1, Sweet Green Peppers at $1.88 at Maxi, 15% Thick Cooking Cream at $4.99 at Canada inc., Canned Fava at $1.69 at Metro, Blue Dragon Rice Noodles 300 g at $3.99 at Canada inc. and Shallots Onions at $4.39 at Iga.

For your seasonal grocery list, this recipe is best treated as a fuller chicken-and-vegetable dinner basket rather than a low-cost staple. You get several vegetable items, including broccoli shoots, celery, snow peas and sweet green peppers, but the total recipe cost remains significantly higher than the two skillet recipes because of the chicken breast and cream components. If you are using eezly's AI-powered grocery price comparison for recipe planning, this is the kind of recipe where comparing individual ingredient rows across banners can matter more than looking only at the total.

Recipe Cost Comparison

This comparison is most useful if you plan meals by cost per serving rather than by total recipe cost alone. Curry Chicken Salad has the highest total cost, but it also serves 8, while several other recipes serve 6. Hamburger Rice Skillet serves 7 at $3.12 per serving, which gives you a different planning profile than Skillet Ziti and Vegetables at 6 servings and $2.70 per serving.

You should also compare the store names before deciding how to shop. Metro appears in every recipe basket, while Maxi appears in several ingredient rows, including Grape Tomatoes at $2.44, Mandarin Oranges at $1.12, Curry Powder at $2.50, Whole Water Chestnuts at $1.50, Red Carrots at $1.10 and Sweet Green Peppers at $1.88.

Maxi has several of the lowest individual ingredient prices in the provided Quebec recipe data, including Red Carrots at $1.10, Mandarin Oranges at $1.12 and Whole Water Chestnuts at $1.50.

This table gives you a practical ingredient-first way to shop. If you are making Hamburger Rice Skillet, your low-priced items include Red Carrots at $1.10 at Maxi, Onion Recipe and Soup Mix at $1.25 at Maxi, and Whole Water Chestnuts at $1.50 at Maxi. The same recipe includes Lean Ground Beef at $9.49 at Metro and Instant Rice at $3.49 at Iga, so your basket is split across banners even though the total recipe is relatively low.

For the chicken recipes, your largest repeated price is Chicken Breast Boneless Skinless at $22.19 at Canada inc. That price appears in both Curry Chicken Salad and Chicken Rice Pasta and Vegetables, which helps explain why both recipes have higher total costs and higher costs per serving than the skillet recipes. If your grocery budget is tight in June, you can use that single item as a decision point: choose a chicken recipe when you specifically want poultry, or move to Skillet Ziti and Vegetables at $16.21 total when your priority is a lower recipe cost.

For Pasta Salad, the standout higher-priced item is 100% Parmesan Shredded Cheese at $10.29 at Canada inc. Other Pasta Salad ingredients are spread across Metro, Maxi and maxi 1, including Green Bell Peppers at $7.99 at Metro, Grape Tomatoes at $2.44 at Maxi and Pickled Cucumbers at $4.99 at maxi 1. If you want seasonal recipes Quebec households can adapt for lunches or gatherings, Pasta Salad remains useful, but its ingredient mix is not as low-cost as Skillet Ziti and Vegetables.

How to Build Your Seasonal Grocery List

Your best seasonal grocery list Quebec strategy is to start with the lowest-cost recipe, then add higher-cost recipes only when their serving count or protein choice fits your week. [Source: eezly real-time price tracking.] In this collection, that means beginning with Skillet Ziti and Vegetables at $16.21 total and $2.70 per serving, then considering Hamburger Rice Skillet at $21.82 total and $3.12 per serving as your second budget-focused dinner.
