5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Whole Young Chicken with Arugula and Sweetpops Tomato Salad
Description: A single Farmer Focus organic whole young chicken is spatchcocked and pan-seared until golden and crispy, yielding enough for one generous dinner with leftovers for the week. The warm chicken is served alongside a bright salad of fresh baby arugula and halved Sweetpops tomatoes dressed with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon.
Sale items used: Farmer Focus fresh organic whole young chicken ($1.99), Peak Harvest organic baby arugula 5 oz. ($2.99), Sweetpops tomatoes 1.5 lb. ($3.99)
Prep time: 75 minutes
Serving note: Use the whole chicken (approximately 3-4 lbs.) for one person; eat one quarter tonight and refrigerate the rest for future meals. Use about 1.5 oz. of arugula and a small handful of tomatoes for the salad. Make-ahead note: spatchcock and dry-brine the chicken in the fridge for a few hours before cooking to cut active roasting time and improve crispiness.
Tuesday
Meal: Andouille Chicken Sausage and Red Bell Pepper Skillet with Basmati Rice
Description: Two andouille chicken sausage links are sliced and sauteed with sliced red bell pepper in a hot skillet until caramelized and fragrant. The skillet is served over a single portion of fluffy white basmati rice for a satisfying, dairy-free one-pan dinner.
Sale items used: Dulano andouille chicken sausage 10 ct. 24 oz. ($5.99), Red bell peppers 2 ct. ($2.49), Lidl Preferred Selection white basmati rice 2 lb. ($2.99)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 of the 10 sausage links (approximately 4.8 oz.) and 1 red bell pepper for one serving. Cook about 1/3 cup dry basmati rice to yield one portion. Freeze remaining sausage links in pairs for future use.

Wednesday
Meal: Teriyaki-Glazed Salmon Fillet with Broccolini and Sweetpops Tomatoes
Description: A single salmon fillet is brushed with teriyaki sauce and pan-seared until lacquered and flaky, then served alongside quickly sauteed broccolini and a handful of Sweetpops tomatoes blistered in the same pan. This is a fast, elegant, and completely dairy-free weeknight dinner.
Sale items used: Fresh Faroe Island whole salmon fillet ($9.99), Broccolini 6 oz. ($2.49), Sweetpops tomatoes 1.5 lb. ($3.99), Vitasia teriyaki sauce 8.4 fl. oz. ($1.99)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Ask the fish counter to cut approximately 6 oz. from the whole salmon fillet for one serving; wrap and freeze the remainder in individual portions. Use the full 6 oz. broccolini bunch and about 6-8 Sweetpops tomatoes. Use 1-2 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce as a glaze.

Meal: Herring Fillets in Tomato Sauce over Thin Spaghetti with Crushed Red Pepper
Description: Canned herring fillets in tomato sauce are gently warmed and tossed with al dente thin spaghetti, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of crushed red pepper for a bold, briny, dairy-free pasta dish. This is a quick pantry-style dinner that comes together in under 20 minutes.

Friday
Meal: Ground Beef Patties with Avocado and Arugula on Sourdough
Description: One lean ground beef patty is seasoned and pan-seared to your preferred doneness, then stacked on a thick slice of sourdough with sliced fresh avocado and a handful of peppery arugula for a hearty dairy-free open-face burger. No cheese is needed as the creamy avocado provides richness and satisfying texture.

Serving note: Use 1 of the 4 patties (approximately 5.3 oz.) for one serving; freeze remaining 3 patties individually. Use half the avocado and about 1 oz. of arugula. Cut 1-2 thick slices from the sourdough loaf.
