Monday
Meal: Baked Chicken and Stuffing Casserole
Description: Bite-sized chicken pieces are mixed with a creamy sauce and green veggies, then topped with golden, buttery stuffing. It is a cozy one-dish dinner with familiar flavors that kids love.
Sale items used: Boneless Chicken Breast, That's Smart Chicken Stuffing, That's Smart Cream Soup, That's Smart Vegetables
Prep time: 45 minutes (10 minutes prep, 35 minutes baking)
Serving note: Buy about 0.5 lb chicken breast and cut it into small cubes. Mix with about 1/2 can cream soup, 1/2 can drained vegetables (corn or peas work well) and 2 tbsp milk in a small baking dish. Prepare about 1/2 of the 6 oz stuffing box as directed, spoon it on top, and bake at 375 F for 30 to 35 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Save the remaining soup, vegetables and stuffing for another meal.

Meal: Pan-Seared Bone-In Pork Chops with Cinnamon Apples

Sale items used: Mixed Pork Chops, Bone-In, Honeycrisp Apples
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Buy one bone-in chop, assumed about 0.6 lb total weight. Season with salt and pepper and sear 4 to 5 minutes per side until the center reaches 145 F, then rest 3 minutes. Slice about 0.5 lb Honeycrisp apples (1 medium apple) and simmer in a small pan with 1 tbsp butter, 1 tsp sugar and a pinch of cinnamon for 8 to 10 minutes until soft.

Sale items used: That's Smart Large Eggs, Food Club Sliced Cheese, Sourdough Half Loaf, California Grown Grapes
Prep time: 15 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 eggs, 1 slice of cheese torn into pieces, and 2 slices of sourdough cut from the half loaf (about 1-inch thick).

Sale items used: Dietz & Watson Turkey Selection, King's Hawaiian Rolls 4 Pk, Food Club Sliced Cheese
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Buy about 0.25 lb sliced turkey from the deli counter. Use 3 of the 4 rolls, about 4 slices of turkey (roughly 3 oz total) and 2 slices of cheese. Brush the tops with 1 tsp melted butter, cover with foil and bake at 350 F for 12 minutes, then uncover for 3 minutes. Enjoy the 4th roll on the side with a little butter.

Friday
Meal: Oven-Baked Baby Back Pork Ribs with Shells & Cheese and Green Beans
Description: A small portion of ribs is baked low and slow until fall-off-the-bone tender, with a mild, sweet barbecue glaze. It is served with creamy shells and cheese and soft green beans for a Friday night treat.
Sale items used: Baby Back Pork Ribs, That's Smart Shells & Cheese, That's Smart Vegetables (green beans)
Prep time: 15 minutes active (about 1 hour 45 minutes total)
Serving note: Instead of a full rack, ask the meat counter to cut about 1 lb of baby back ribs (3 to 4 ribs). Season with salt and pepper, wrap in foil, and bake at 300 F for about 90 minutes, then brush with mild barbecue sauce and broil 3 to 5 minutes. Timing note: season and wrap the ribs the night before, or bake them up to a day ahead and just reheat and glaze at dinnertime. Make about 1/3 of the shells and cheese box (about 4 oz) and heat 1/2 can of green beans. Save the rest of the box and can for another meal.
