5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Sauteed Portabella Mushroom and Hot House Pepper Tacos with Kraft Shredded Cheese
Description: Thick slices of portabella mushroom and strips of hot house pepper are sauteed until tender and lightly caramelized, then piled into warm tortillas for a hearty vegetarian taco night for one. A generous handful of Kraft shredded cheese melts right over the top for a satisfying, protein-rich finish.
Sale items used: Giant Portabella Mushrooms (14 oz.), Hot House Peppers (Red, Yellow or Orange), Kraft Shredded Cheese (6-8 oz.)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use about 4 oz. of portabella mushrooms (roughly one large cap), 1 pepper from the 3-for-$5 deal, and about 1/4 cup shredded cheese for 2 tacos; tortillas are a pantry staple.

Tuesday
Meal: Baked Eggplant and Green or Yellow Squash Parmesan-Style Casserole with Kraft Shredded Cheese
Description: Thin rounds of eggplant and squash are layered in a small baking dish with marinara sauce and a blanket of Kraft shredded cheese, then baked until bubbly and golden for a cozy one-person casserole. The leftovers reheat beautifully, making this a smart cook-once meal for a busy week.
Sale items used: Eggplant ($1.49/lb), Green or Yellow Squash ($1.99/lb), Kraft Shredded Cheese (6-8 oz.)
Prep time: 55 minutes
Serving note: Use about 0.5 lb eggplant (roughly half a small eggplant, estimated cost $0.75) and about 0.5 lb squash (one small squash, estimated cost $1.00); top with about 1/3 cup shredded cheese from the same pack purchased Monday; marinara is a pantry staple. Total bake time is about 40 minutes - assemble ahead and refrigerate, then bake when ready.
Check the label: many hard cheeses are set with animal rennet.

Wednesday
Meal: Sweet Corn and Egg Frittata with Grape Tomatoes
Description: Fresh sweet corn kernels cut from the cob are folded into a simple egg base with a handful of halved grape tomatoes, then cooked low and slow in a small skillet until just set for a bright, summery frittata for one. It comes together in under 30 minutes and works equally well for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Sale items used: Sweet Corn (White or Yellow), Pete & Gerry's Grade A Organic or Pasture Raised Eggs (12 ct.), Grape Tomatoes (10 oz.)
Prep time: 25 minutes

Thursday
Meal: Roasted Eggplant and Hot House Pepper Buddha Bowl with Ben's Original Ready Rice and Breakstone's Cottage Cheese
Description: Cubed eggplant and sliced hot house pepper are roasted at high heat until caramelized and tender, then arranged over a warm bed of Ben's Original Ready Rice for a nourishing, colorful bowl. A generous scoop of Breakstone's cottage cheese adds creamy, high-protein richness to round out this satisfying one-bowl meal.
Sale items used: Eggplant ($1.49/lb), Hot House Peppers (Red, Yellow or Orange), Ben's Original Ready Rice, Breakstone's Cottage Cheese (16 oz.)

Friday
Meal: BelGioioso Burrata and Grape Tomato Salad over Giant Salad Blend with Sweet Corn
Description: Creamy BelGioioso burrata is torn and nestled over a bed of fresh salad greens with halved grape tomatoes and sweet corn kernels cut straight from the cob for a stunning no-cook dinner salad for one. A drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of flaky salt from the pantry is all it needs to taste like a restaurant-quality summer plate.
Sale items used: BelGioioso Burrata (8 oz.), Grape Tomatoes (10 oz.), Giant Salad Blends (5 oz.), Sweet Corn (White or Yellow)
Prep time: 10 minutes
