5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Oven-Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Apples and Russet Potatoes
Description: A 6 oz portion of pork tenderloin roasts on one pan with apple wedges and cubed russet potato, all finished with butter and simple seasonings. The pork turns out juicy, and the apple and potato caramelize in the pan juices.
Sale items used: Boneless Pork Tenderloin ($2.99/lb), Honeycrisp or Sugar Bee Apples ($1.49/lb), Kroger Russet Potatoes, Kroger Butter
Prep time: 50 minutes
Serving note: Assume a 1 lb tenderloin is purchased. Roast the whole piece but eat about 6 oz (about 1/3 of it) tonight, then slice the rest for lunches or freeze it. Use 1 medium russet (about 8 oz), cubed, and 1 apple (about 1/2 lb), cut into wedges. Add 1 tbsp butter and salt, pepper and dried thyme from your pantry. Roast at 400 F for 25 to 30 minutes, until the pork reaches 145 F, then rest it 5 minutes.

Tuesday
Meal: Skillet Salsa Chicken with Minute Rice and Sliced Avocado
Description: A 6 oz chicken breast simmers in a skillet with salsa until tender and saucy. It is served over one microwave cup of rice with half a sliced avocado on the side.
Sale items used: Simple Truth Natural Boneless Chicken Breasts ($3.99/lb), Pace Salsa, Minute Rice Microwave Cups, Avocados
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Assume 1 lb of chicken breast is purchased for the week. Use about 6 oz tonight and set aside another 6 oz for Thursday, then freeze or refrigerate the rest. Use 1/2 cup salsa, 1 Minute Rice cup (check the label for gluten-free) and 1/2 avocado. Cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes per side, add the salsa, and simmer 5 more minutes.

Wednesday
Meal: Garlic Butter Shrimp over Mashed Russet Potatoes with Cucumber-Avocado Salad

Sale items used: Kroger Extra Large Peeled & Deveined Shrimp, Kroger Russet Potatoes, Kroger Butter, Private Selection Mini Seedless Cucumbers, Avocados
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: Thaw 8 to 10 shrimp (about 6 oz) from the 2 lb bag and freeze the rest in portions. Boil 1 medium russet (about 8 oz) until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes, then mash with 1 tbsp butter and a splash of the cooking water. Saute the shrimp in 1 tbsp butter with 2 cloves garlic for 3 to 4 minutes. For the salad, slice 2 mini cucumbers and 1/2 avocado and dress with lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Thursday
Meal: Chicken and Cheese Baked Spaghetti Squash Boats
Description: A roasted spaghetti squash half is shredded into strands, mixed with diced cooked chicken and melted cheese, and baked until bubbly. It makes a hearty, naturally gluten-free boat for one.
Sale items used: Butternut, Acorn or Spaghetti Squash ($1.49/lb), Simple Truth Natural Boneless Chicken Breasts, Sargento Cheese, Pace Salsa
Prep time: 70 minutes
Serving note: Assume a 2 lb spaghetti squash is purchased. Halve it and roast both halves cut side down at 400 F for 35 to 40 minutes. Fill one half tonight with 6 oz diced cooked chicken, 1/2 cup shredded Sargento cheese and 2 tbsp leftover salsa. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, until bubbly. Make-ahead tip: roast the squash the night before, or while you cook Wednesday dinner, so Thursday takes only about 20 minutes. Save the second half for lunch.

Friday
Meal: Cheese and Vegetable Baked Frittata with Mandarins

Sale items used: Simple Truth Cage-Free Brown Eggs, Nature Sweet Seasonal Medley Tomatoes, Del Monte Vegetables, Sargento Cheese, Cuties Seedless Mandarins, Kroger Butter
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use 3 eggs, about 1/4 cup shredded cheese, 1/4 cup halved tomatoes and 1/4 cup drained Del Monte vegetables (pick a plain variety and check the label for gluten-free). Grease a 6 inch oven-safe skillet with 1 tsp butter. Bake at 375 F for 15 to 18 minutes, until set. Serve with 2 mandarins and save the remaining mandarins for snacks.
