Switch dietary option for this week:
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Sheet-Pan Roasted Chicken Leg Quarters with Potatoes and Squash
Description: One crisp-skinned chicken leg quarter roasts on a single pan alongside cubed potatoes and squash half-moons. Everything is tossed in olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, so it is dairy-free and needs no butter.
Sale items used: Fresh Chicken Leg Quarters, Giant Yellow or Red Potatoes, Green or Yellow Squash
Prep time: 55 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 leg quarter (assume about 1 lb total), 1 medium potato (about 6 oz) cubed, and 1 small squash (about 0.5 lb) sliced. Roast at 425 F for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping the vegetables once. The rest of the potato bag is used on Friday.

Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Center-Cut Pork Chops with Apple and Cabbage Sauté
Description: One thick pork chop is seared in olive oil until golden, then rested while sliced apple, cabbage, and onion soften in the same pan. The sweet-tart sauté makes a quick, dairy-free pan meal.
Sale items used: Center-Cut Pork Chops, Honeycrisp Apples, Cabbage, Red or Sweet Onions
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 chop (assume 0.5 lb total), 1 Honeycrisp apple (about 0.5 lb) sliced, 2 cups shredded cabbage (about 6 oz, from a 1 lb purchase), and 1/4 of the onion. Sear the chop 4 to 5 minutes per side, then sauté the apple, cabbage, and onion for 6 to 8 minutes with a splash of water or apple juice. Leftover cabbage can be stored for a slaw or added to Friday's hash.

Wednesday
Meal: Chicken Breast and Pepper Skillet over Rice
Description: Strips of chicken breast are browned with sliced bell pepper and onion in one skillet, then spooned over a single portion of fluffy rice. Garlic, paprika, and a squeeze of the pan juices keep it flavorful without any dairy.
Sale items used: Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, Hothouse Peppers, Red or Sweet Onions
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use 0.5 lb chicken breast (assume 0.5 lb total, 1 small breast), 1 pepper (about 0.5 lb, from a 1 lb purchase), 1/4 of the onion, and 1/2 cup dry rice cooked from your pantry supply. The second pepper is saved for Friday.

Thursday
Meal: Garlic Skillet Shrimp with Avocado, Cucumber, and Mandarin Salad
Description: Raw shrimp are sauteed in olive oil with plenty of garlic and served warm over a cool salad of sliced avocado, cucumber, and mandarin segments. The citrus and creamy avocado make a bright, fully dairy-free dinner.
Sale items used: Extra Large Raw EZ Peel Shrimp, Hass Avocados, Hothouse Cucumbers, Giant Seedless Mandarins
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use 0.4 lb shrimp (assume 0.4 lb total, about 8 to 10 extra large), 1 avocado, 1 cucumber, and 2 mandarins peeled and segmented. The mandarin price applies with a $25 total purchase at Giant. The rest of the mandarin bag works as snacks. Cook the shrimp 2 to 3 minutes per side with 2 cloves garlic, and finish with lemon juice or a splash of mandarin juice.

Friday
Meal: Ground Beef and Potato Skillet Hash with Peppers
Description: Diced potato is crisped in a skillet, then combined with browned lean ground beef, diced pepper, and onion for a hearty one-pan hash. It is seasoned with paprika, salt, and pepper and cooked in oil, so it stays dairy-free.
Sale items used: 93% Lean Ground Beef, Giant Yellow or Red Potatoes, Hothouse Peppers, Red or Sweet Onions
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: Use 0.4 lb ground beef (assume 0.4 lb total), 1 medium potato (about 6 oz) diced small, the second pepper diced, and the remaining onion. Parboil or microwave the potato for 3 minutes first so it crisps in the skillet faster. Cook the hash over medium-high heat for about 15 minutes.
