Switch dietary option for this week:
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Pan-Cooked Boneless Chicken Breast with Sweet Corn and Baby-Cut Carrots
Description: A simple pan-seared boneless chicken breast seasoned with basic spices is served alongside a fresh ear of sweet corn and steamed baby-cut carrots for a colorful, kid-approved plate. Everything cooks in about 30 minutes and the mild flavors are a guaranteed hit with younger eaters.
Sale items used: Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (Family Size), Sweet Corn, Giant Peeled Baby-Cut Carrots, Giant Butter
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: 1 boneless chicken breast (about 0.5 lb); 1 ear of sweet corn (from the 8 for $2.00 pack); roughly 1 cup of baby carrots from a 1 lb bag (shared across the week); a small pat of butter to finish the carrots. Family-size chicken pack will have leftovers - portion and freeze remaining breasts the same day.
Tuesday
Meal: Skillet Ground Beef Tacos with Green Pepper and Corn Tortilla Shells
Description: Seasoned ground beef is browned in a skillet with diced green pepper and spooned into crunchy corn taco shells for a fun, hands-on taco night a kid will love. Keep the seasoning mild with just cumin, garlic powder, and a little salt so the flavors stay familiar and not too spicy.
Sale items used: 80% Lean Ground Beef (Family Size), Green Peppers, Old El Paso Taco Shell Kit, Kraft Singles
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: About 0.33 lb of ground beef (roughly 2 to 3 tacos worth); 1 green pepper (use half, save half for snacking); 3 taco shells from the kit; 1 slice of Kraft Singles melted on top. Family-size ground beef pack will have leftovers - portion and freeze remaining beef the same day.
Wednesday
Meal: Simmered Premio Sausage with Classico Pasta Sauce over Barilla Pasta
Description: Sliced Premio sausage links are browned in a pan and then simmered in Classico pasta sauce until tender, then ladled over a small portion of Barilla pasta for a cozy, kid-friendly dinner. The sweet tomato sauce and mild sausage make this feel like a restaurant-style pasta night at home.
Sale items used: Premio Fresh Dinner Sausage, Classico Pasta Sauce, Barilla Pasta, Giant Parmesan Cheese
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: 2 sausage links (about 0.5 lb) from the $4.99 package; roughly 2 oz dry pasta (about 1 cup cooked) from a BOGO Barilla pack; about half a jar of Classico sauce (save the rest for later in the week or freeze); a light sprinkle of Giant Parmesan on top.
Thursday
Meal: Baked Boneless Pork Chops with Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue Sauce and Broccoli Florets
Description: A single boneless center-cut pork chop is brushed with Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce and baked until juicy and caramelized, served alongside steamed broccoli florets for a sweet and savory dinner kids will clean their plate for. The sticky BBQ glaze makes the pork feel like a fun treat rather than a weeknight chore.
Sale items used: Boneless Center-Cut Pork Chops, Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue Sauce, Giant Broccoli Florets, Giant Butter
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: 1 boneless pork chop (about 0.5 lb); a generous brush of Sweet Baby Ray's (2 for $4.00 deal, use one bottle across the week); about half the bag of Giant Broccoli Florets ($2.49 each); a small pat of butter on the broccoli. Pork chops often come in multi-packs - portion and freeze extras after purchase.

Meal: Stovetop Buttered Shrimp with Sweet Corn and Jiffy Honey Corn Muffin Bake
Description: Jumbo shrimp are quickly sauteed in butter with a pinch of garlic powder and served with a fresh ear of sweet corn, plus a warm mini Jiffy honey corn muffin baked alongside for a fun, slightly sweet Friday dinner a kid will be excited about. The whole meal comes together in under 30 minutes and feels like a special end-of-week treat.
Sale items used: Jumbo Raw EZ Peel Shrimp, Sweet Corn, Jiffy Honey Corn Muffin Mix, Giant Butter
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: About 0.5 lb of shrimp (roughly 8 to 10 jumbo shrimp); 1 ear of sweet corn; 1 box of Jiffy mix makes about 6 small muffins (serve 2 to 3, save the rest for breakfast); a tablespoon of butter for sauteing the shrimp.
