5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Baked Potato Bar with Cheese and Giant Guacamole
Description: One large russet is baked until fluffy and split open, then topped with melted shredded cheese and a scoop of guacamole. Round it out with frozen vegetables on the side for a filling, simple dinner.
Sale items used: Giant Russet Potatoes, Giant Shredded Cheese, Giant Guacamole, Giant Vegetables (frozen)
Prep time: 65 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 russet (about 10 oz), 1/3 cup shredded cheese, 1/4 of the guacamole container (about 2 tbsp is enough, save the rest for Wednesday), and 1 cup frozen vegetables.
