Giant Kid-Friendly Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week is built around hands-on, familiar dishes kids tend to eat happily, starting Monday with sheet-pan drumsticks and sweet potato wedges for dipping in ketchup. Tuesday's cheeseburger biscuit cups and Friday's build-your-own loaded baked potatoes with rotisserie chicken let everyone customize their plate, and the grape tomatoes and mini cucumbers carry across both nights. Wednesday's roasted pork loin with cinnamon apples and carrots adds a gentle sweetness, and Thursday's cheesy broccoli frittata with grapes and butter croissants gives you an easy egg night. Your sale buys stretch well too: the 3 lb of drumsticks is just $2.97, the sweet potatoes are $0.78, and the 2 lb of broccoli covers both Monday and Thursday.
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
