Tuesday

Wednesday
Meal: Shrimp and Bell Pepper Stir-Fry over White Rice
Description: Jumbo EZ Peel shrimp are sauteed with colorful red, orange, and yellow bell peppers in a gluten-free tamari-based sauce, served over fluffy steamed white rice for a vibrant, Asian-inspired weeknight dinner. This quick 30-minute skillet meal is a complete flavor contrast to Monday and Tuesday's slow-cooked BBQ proteins.

Thursday
Meal: Pan-Seared Sea Scallops with Asparagus and Herb Butter
Description: Eastern Seas scallops are patted dry and seared to a golden crust in Kerrygold butter, paired with roasted or steamed asparagus finished with lemon and garlic for an elegant restaurant-quality dinner at home. This elegant preparation provides a completely different flavor profile - delicate, buttery seafood versus the bold BBQ and Asian notes of earlier in the week.
Sale items used: Eastern Seas Sea Scallops ($12), Asparagus ($2.99/lb - 1 lb), Kerrygold Butter ($3.49)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: One $12 pack of scallops typically contains 12-16 pieces - plan 3-4 scallops per person. Use 1 lb of asparagus divided among 4 plates. Use half the Kerrygold butter for searing and basting. Rice or russet potatoes (from sale) make a great gluten-free starch base.

Description: Perdue boneless chicken pieces are marinated in olive oil, lemon, garlic, and oregano, then oven-roasted on a single sheet pan alongside cubed russet potatoes and colorful bell peppers for a bright Mediterranean-style finish to the week. The BOGO Perdue deal and sale produce make this one of the most budget-friendly and crowd-pleasing dinners of the five days.
Sale items used: Perdue Boneless Chicken (BOGO), Baker Russet Potatoes (2/$7), Red, Orange or Yellow Bell Peppers (3/$5)
Prep time: 15 minutes (plus 35-45 minutes roast time)
Serving note: Use 1.5-2 lbs of boneless chicken for 4 people (the BOGO nets you extra for leftovers). Cube 2 russet potatoes and slice 2-3 bell peppers. All go on one large sheet pan at 400 degrees F. Season with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper - all naturally gluten-free.
