Easy Weeknight Dinners

The start of the school year is usually busy with new routines, schedules, and activities. But weeknight dinners don’t have to be complicated, time-consuming or boring.

It sounds a lot fancier than it is, but with a few simple ingredients, our Creamy Feta Gnocchi will become a staple weeknight meal for your family. It can be made in a pinch and will even double as leftovers the next day – that is, if there are any.

To start, cook a package of gnocchi as directed. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of Krinos Olive Oil over medium heat and sauté 2 chopped shallots and 1 clove of garlic for 2 minutes, or until fragrant. Add 1 cup of 18% cream (it’s worth it), and sauté until it starts to bubbles. Add chopped sundried tomatoes along with 200g of crumbled Krinos Organic Feta and stir until it’s fully melted. Transfer the cooked, drained gnocchi into the pan and coat with cream sauce. Add spinach and toss just until it starts to wilt.

Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately and watch your family savour it, before running off to their next activity.

Back to School Lunchbox Idea

Hands up if you silently (or not to silently) dread making school lunches? You’re not alone, and we’ve got you covered with a healthy, back-to-school lunch that kids will love: easy to make, tasty, and fit perfectly in a lunch box.

Introducing the 2oz Mini Twisters – they’re the same great taste and crunch from the original size, only in a perfectly proportioned 2oz size, and available in two flavours.

Krinos Mini twisters are super simple to prepare: defrost, bake and pack for lunch or snack. It’s a lunch box idea even your toddlers will love, because it’s hand held and doesn’t require any utensils to serve and enjoy.

Does your family participate in after-school activities and sports? These 2oz mini twisters also make an ideal snack on the way to dance class or hockey practice, and as a healthy alternative to an after-school snack while dinner is being prepared.

Keep an eye out in your grocery store freezer section for this brand-new back-to-school product – it’ll make your life that much easier.

Feta Faceoff

How do you enjoy your feta?

That was the challenge we posed to 8 Canadian influencers on Instagram this summer: to develop and share their favourite way to incorporate the new Krinos Feta Multi-pack into a recipe of their own. The new multi-packs are available in in 2 x 100g packaging without brine, which means no more mess – use one, and store the other.

It was the ultimate #fetafaceoff challenge and the recipes that were submitted have become some of our favourites! From feta focaccia to a rustic chicken sandwich, grilled peach, arugula and feta pizza and a feta quiche, the home cooks inspired thousands of Canadians to experiment and see how easy and fun it is to cook with feta.

After 3 weeks and hundreds of comments, we are pleased to award Meri @lilsugarmag the winner of the Feta Faceoff! Meri prepared a Healthy Breakfast Feta Skillet that was both impressive in look and taste!

Meri will receive 10 Krinos Product gift packs worth $100 each to be given to 10 of her followers, so be sure to keep an eye out for that!

Congratulations Meri and thanks to all the influencers who participated in our Feta Faceoff!
