5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Stovetop-Braised Whole Pork Picnic Roast with Vidalia Onions and Baby Carrots
Description: A tender, slow-braised pork roast is cooked low and slow on the stovetop with sweet Vidalia onions and baby carrots until the meat is fall-apart soft and the vegetables are deeply flavored. For two people, a smaller 2 lb. portion is used so leftovers stay manageable, and the braising liquid becomes a light, savory pan sauce to spoon over each plate.
Sale items used: Whole Pork Picnic Roast ($1.99/lb), Vidalia Onions ($1.99/lb), Giant Peeled Baby Cut Carrots ($1.99 for 2 lb. bag)
Prep time: 20 minutes active, approximately 2.5 hours total braising time
Serving note: Plan on 2 lbs. of pork roast total (1 lb. per person before shrinkage), 0.5 lb. of Vidalia onions, and half the 2 lb. bag of baby carrots. Start the braise in the late afternoon so it is ready by dinner; the roast can rest covered for up to 30 minutes before serving.

Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Seared C.Wirthy & Co. Salmon with Sweet Corn and Vine Ripe Tomatoes
Description: Two salmon fillets are seared skin-side down in a hot skillet until golden and crisp, then finished briefly on the other side for a perfectly cooked center. Fresh sweet corn cut from the cob and sliced vine ripe tomatoes are warmed in the same pan with a little olive oil and lemon juice to make a bright, summery side.
Sale items used: C.Wirthy & Co. Salmon ($7.99 each), Sweet Corn ($1.99 for 5 ct tray), Vine Ripe Tomatoes ($1.99/lb), Nature's Promise Organic Lemons or Limes ($2.99 for 3 ct pkg)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: One package of C.Wirthy & Co. Salmon typically contains two fillets, which is ideal for two people. Use 2 ears of corn from the 5-count tray and about 0.5 lb. of vine ripe tomatoes. The remaining corn can be used later in the week or stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Wednesday
Meal: Skillet-Cooked Perdue Chicken Thighs with Green Beans and Lemon
Description: Bone-in, skin-on Perdue chicken thighs are seasoned and cooked in a cast-iron or heavy skillet until the skin is golden and the meat is juicy and cooked through. Fresh green beans are sauteed in the same pan drippings with garlic and a squeeze of lemon for a simple, bright, and completely gluten-free one-pan dinner.
Sale items used: Perdue Chicken Thighs ($2.99/lb), Giant Green Beans or Brussels Sprouts ($2.99/lb), Nature's Promise Organic Lemons or Limes (already purchased Tuesday)
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: Plan on 1.5 lbs. of chicken thighs total (about 2 to 3 thighs depending on size), which gives each person a generous portion. Use 0.5 lb. of fresh green beans. The lemons purchased Tuesday provide enough for both this meal and Tuesday's salmon.

Thursday
Meal: Sauteed Gilbert's Chicken Sausage with Vidalia Onions and Grape Tomatoes over Rice
Description: Sliced Gilbert's Chicken Sausage is sauteed until lightly browned, then tossed with caramelized Vidalia onions and burst grape tomatoes for a quick, colorful skillet meal. Everything is spooned over fluffy white rice, which is a naturally gluten-free base that soaks up all the savory pan juices beautifully.
Sale items used: Gilbert's Chicken Sausage ($3.99 each), Vidalia Onions (already purchased Monday), Nature's Promise Organic Grape Tomatoes ($3.99 each)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: One package of Gilbert's Chicken Sausage is enough for two people. Use 0.5 lb. of Vidalia onions from the bag purchased Monday and one container of grape tomatoes. Cook 1 cup of dry white rice, which yields about 3 cups cooked and is the right amount for two servings. Rice is a pantry staple.

Friday
Meal: Baked 8-Piece Dark Meat Chicken with Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Nectarines
Description: The 8-piece dark meat chicken is seasoned and roasted in the oven until the skin is deeply golden and crisp, with each person getting a generous two to three pieces. Halved Brussels sprouts and sliced fresh nectarines are roasted on the same sheet pan, where the nectarines caramelize and add a sweet-tart contrast to the savory chicken and sprouts.
Sale items used: 8-Piece Dark Meat Chicken ($4.49 each), Giant Green Beans or Brussels Sprouts - Brussels sprouts ($2.99/lb), Nectarines or Plums ($1.99/lb)
Prep time: 15 minutes active, approximately 50 minutes total roasting time
Serving note: The full 8-piece pack is purchased at a flat $4.49 price, giving each person 4 pieces with intentional leftovers for the weekend. Use 0.75 lb. of Brussels sprouts and 0.5 lb. of nectarines (about 2 medium nectarines). Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and roast everything on one large sheet pan for easy cleanup.
