Giant Kid-Friendly Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week gives you five familiar, kid-friendly dinners with a different protein each night: ham steak on Monday, cheeseburger bowls with ground beef on Tuesday, pork tenderloin on Wednesday, tilapia sandwiches on Thursday, and rotisserie chicken pizza on Friday. One $3.49 package of Giant Butter covers both Monday's mashed potatoes and broccoli and Wednesday's roasted tenderloin, so you only buy it once. Friday's pack of 2 Giant Classic Crust Pizzas at $9.00 gets topped with pulled rotisserie chicken and mozzarella, so the kids can build their own slices. Sides stay mild and easy, with steamed green beans, sweet potatoes, and Honeycrisp apple slices, so there is something on every plate that picky eaters will go for.
