5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Pulled Pork Cabbage Bowls with Creamy Slaw

Sale items used: Boston Butt ($2.49/lb), Green Cabbage ($0.69/lb), Kraft Mayonnaise (BOGO)

Prep time: 25 minutes active (plus 2-3 hours slow braise or use pressure cooker to reduce to 45 minutes total)

Serving note: Approximately 0.5 lb raw Boston Butt (yields roughly 3-4 oz cooked shredded pork), 1.5 cups shredded raw cabbage (about 0.25 lb), 1 tablespoon mayo, salt, pepper, and a splash of apple cider vinegar for the slaw dressing
