Giant Vegetarian Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
(No meat or seafood is used; these are the vegetarian proteins in the plan.)
Why these meals: Since you're shopping at Giant for a vegetarian table of four, this week builds its protein around eggs, beans and cheese. One $1.79 carton of Giant Grade A Large White Eggs covers both Tuesday's vegetable scramble and Thursday's egg and carrot fried rice. Wednesday's quesadillas use Bush's beans (just $1.25) with shredded cheese, and Friday's baked pasta gets its protein from Breakstone's cottage cheese. The Giant Shredded Cheese pair at $4.00 gives you one bag for Monday's baked potato bar and one for Wednesday, so nothing sits unused in the fridge. Monday is the longest cook at about an hour, while Wednesday and Thursday come together in 25 minutes each, which keeps the middle of the week easy.
