Food City Kosher Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: Your week is built around a few simple proteins: the 2.5 lbs of ground beef at $7.48 covers both Monday's Skillet Beef and Tomato Pasta and Friday's Beef Taco Skillet Bowls, and the 2 lbs of boneless chicken breast at $5.98 becomes Tuesday's oven-baked chicken with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Thursday's chuck roast ($11.98 for 2 lbs) is the one slow-cooked night, so start the braise in the afternoon or make it the day before and reheat. Wednesday's Creamy Pumpkin Pasta is your only dairy night, which keeps meat and dairy cleanly apart the rest of the week, and it relies on inexpensive pantry-friendly cans like the $1.99 pumpkin and the $1.59 evaporated milk. A couple of boxes of pasta and packs of instant potatoes stretch across several dinners, so the cart stays simple. Before Friday, take a quick look at the taco seasoning packet for a kosher certification.
