5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Stovetop-Braised Pork Picnic Roast with Sweet Corn and Baby Cut Carrots
Description: A small portion of whole pork picnic roast is slow-braised on the stovetop with aromatics until fork-tender and deeply flavorful. Sweet corn on the cob and tender baby cut carrots round out this hearty, satisfying plate for one.
Sale items used: Whole Pork Picnic Roast ($1.99/lb), Sweet Corn ($1.99 for 5 ct tray), Giant Peeled Baby Cut Carrots ($1.99 for 2 lb. bag)
Prep time: 20 minutes active, approximately 90 minutes total
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of pork picnic roast (cost: $1.99); use 1 ear of corn from the 5-count tray and roughly 1 cup of carrots from the 2 lb. bag - both will have plenty left for other meals. Because the braise takes about 90 minutes total, start it early in the evening or braise on Sunday and reheat Monday for a quick weeknight dinner.

Wednesday
Meal: Giant Smoked Dinner Sausage Skillet with Prego Sauce and Giant Pasta

Thursday
Meal: Garlic Butter EZ Peel Shrimp with Sweet Corn and Iceberg Lettuce Salad
