Giant Kosher Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: You'll find chicken on two nights, Monday's sheet-pan drumsticks or thighs ($2.97 for 3 lbs) and Thursday's tomato-braised leg quarters ($3.50 for 3.5 lbs), with beef chili on Tuesday in between for some variety. Wednesday's frittata and Friday's salmon are the dairy nights, so every dinner is clearly meat or dairy and the two never share a plate. The 3 lb bag of sweet potatoes or yellow onions ($2.97) works hard, covering Monday's roast, Tuesday's chili and Thursday's braise, and the carrots, squash and salad blend keep vegetables on the table most nights. The salmon at $14.99 is the one splurge, saved for Friday, and the quick 30-minute prep means the week ends on an easy note.
