Wednesday
Meal: Morningstar Farms Entree Tacos with Hatch Chile Peppers and Cottage Cheese Crema
Description: Flavorful vegetarian tacos built on a Morningstar Farms entree as the protein base, loaded with diced fresh Hatch chile peppers and a creamy dollop of Kroger cottage cheese blended into a smooth crema. The cottage cheese crema adds a cool, tangy contrast to the spicy chiles and savory Morningstar filling.

Thursday
Meal: Impossible Frozen Entree Bowl with Kroger Steamer Vegetables and Sargento Cheese
Description: A satisfying grain-style bowl built around one Impossible frozen entree, served over or alongside a steamed vegetable bag and finished with melted Sargento cheese slices. This is a nearly no-cook meal that delivers solid plant-based protein with minimal effort.

Prep time: 10 minutes
Serving note: Use one 10-14 oz Impossible frozen entree package, one 10-12 oz Kroger steamer bag, and 2 Sargento cheese slices melted over the top. Follow package microwave directions for both the entree and the steamer bag.

Friday
Meal: Baked Egg and Kraft Shredded Cheese Stuffed Gourmet Potatoes
Description: One or two Private Selection gourmet potatoes are baked until tender, then hollowed slightly and filled with a cracked egg and a generous handful of Kraft shredded cheese before being returned to the oven until the egg is just set. The result is a rich, comforting stuffed potato that works as a complete vegetarian meal on its own.
Sale items used: Private Selection Gourmet Potatoes, Simple Truth Cage-Free Eggs (24 ct), Kraft Shredded Cheese
Prep time: 55 minutes
Serving note: Use 1-2 gourmet potatoes from the 1.5 lb bag (the bag is sold as part of the 2 for $7.00 deal with sweet corn - buy 1 bag of potatoes and 1 pack of sweet corn to meet the deal), 2 eggs, and about 3 tablespoons of Kraft shredded cheese. Make-ahead tip: bake the potatoes up to a day ahead and refrigerate; reheat and add the egg filling just before serving to cut active oven time to about 15 minutes.
