5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Skillet-Scrambled Egg and Potato Hash with Vidalia Onions and Vine Tomatoes
Description: Diced Tasteful Selections potatoes are pan-crisped in a skillet with sliced Vidalia onion until golden, then two eggs are scrambled right into the hash for a hearty, satisfying one-pan breakfast-for-dinner. Chopped vine tomatoes are stirred in at the end for a fresh, bright finish.
Sale items used: Tasteful Selections Potatoes, Bland Farms Vidalia Onions, Tomatoes on the Vine
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use about 6 oz of potatoes (roughly one-third of the 16 oz bag), one-quarter of a Vidalia onion, and about 0.25 lb of vine tomatoes (approximately 1 medium tomato). Crack 2 eggs directly into the skillet. Reserve remaining potatoes and onion for Friday's meal.

Tuesday
Meal: Simmered Half Runner Beans with Vidalia Onions over Shells and Cheese
Description: Fresh locally grown half runner beans are simmered low and slow with sliced Vidalia onion, garlic, and a splash of vegetable broth until tender and flavorful. The beans are ladled over a single serving of That's Smart! Shells and Cheese for a comforting, protein-rich Southern-style meal.

Prep time: 55 minutes
Serving note: Use about 0.5 lb of half runner beans (roughly half the recommended purchase), one-quarter of a Vidalia onion, and one box of That's Smart! Shells and Cheese prepared as directed for 1 person. The beans need about 45 minutes of simmering time, so start them before preparing the shells and cheese. Reserve remaining beans for Friday.

Wednesday
Meal: Impossible Foods Patties Pan-Seared with Vine Tomatoes and Cottage Cheese Tzatziki on Italian Bread
Description: One Impossible Foods patty is pan-seared until deeply browned and served open-face on a thick slice of fresh-baked Italian bread with sliced vine tomatoes on top. A quick cottage cheese tzatziki made from Breakstone's Cottage Cheese blended with cucumber, lemon, and dill adds a creamy, tangy contrast to the savory patty.
Sale items used: Impossible Foods, Tomatoes on the Vine, Breakstone's Cottage Cheese (24 Oz.), Italian Bread

Serving note: Use 1 Impossible patty from the 10-14 oz package (the package typically contains 2 patties; wrap and refrigerate the second). Use about 0.25 lb of vine tomatoes and 2 to 3 tablespoons of cottage cheese for the tzatziki. Slice 1 to 2 thick pieces from the Italian bread loaf and store the rest for the week.

Thursday
Meal: Baked Egg and Vine Tomato Shakshuka with Cracker Barrel Cheese and Avocado
Description: Crushed vine tomatoes are simmered in a small oven-safe skillet with onion, garlic, and warm spices, then two eggs are nestled in and baked until just set. Shredded Cracker Barrel chunk cheese is melted over the top and sliced avocado is fanned alongside for a rich, Mediterranean-inspired meal.
