Monday
Meal: Loaded Baked Russet Potatoes with Black Beans, Tomatoes, and Sour Cream

Sale items used: Russet Potatoes, Bush's Black Beans, Tomatoes on the Vine, Food Club Sour Cream
Prep time: 70 minutes (10 minutes active)
Serving note: Use 1 large russet (about 10 oz), half a can of black beans (about 3/4 cup), 1 medium tomato (about 0.4 lb), and 3 tbsp sour cream. Bake the potato at 425F for 55-60 minutes.

Wednesday
Meal: Roasted Butternut Squash Soup with Grilled Cheese on Sourdough and Honeycrisp Apple Slices
Description: Butternut squash is roasted until caramelized, then simmered with broth and blended into a smooth single-serving soup. It comes with a golden sourdough grilled cheese and crisp Honeycrisp apple slices on the side.
Sale items used: Butternut Squash, That's Smart Broth, Sourdough Baguette or Half Sourdough, Food Club Sliced Cheese, Honeycrisp Apples
Prep time: 60 minutes (20 minutes active)
Serving note: Assume 1.25 lb butternut squash. Peel and cube it, and use about 3/4 of it (about 3 cups) for 1 serving. Use 1.5 cups broth, 2 slices sourdough (cut from the loaf), 2 slices cheese, and 1 Honeycrisp apple (about 0.5 lb). Roast the squash at 425F for 30-35 minutes, then simmer and blend for 10 minutes. To save time, roast the squash the night before and reheat while you grill the sandwich. Freeze the remaining broth, bread, and extra squash for later.
Check the label: broth is often made from chicken or beef. Vegetable broth is the safe choice.

Meal: Chili Bean Stuffed Roasted Acorn Squash with Corn
Description: A halved acorn squash is roasted until tender, then filled with hearty chili beans and melted cheese. Buttery corn goes on the side.
Sale items used: Acorn Squash, Bush's Chili Beans, Food Club Sliced Cheese, Libby's Corn, Food Club Sour Cream
Prep time: 60 minutes (15 minutes active)
Serving note: Assume 1 medium acorn squash at about 1.25 lb. Use half the can of chili beans per squash half, so a full can fills both halves, with 1 slice cheese on top and a dollop of leftover sour cream. Serve with about 1/2 cup corn, using half the can and saving the rest. Roast the squash cut side down at 400F for 35-40 minutes, fill, and return to the oven for 8-10 minutes. Roast the squash earlier in the day and reheat to shorten dinner prep.

Prepare the sauce packet with the milk and butter at home. Cook the beans in a skillet for 6-8 minutes with a little oil and garlic.
