5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Whole Young Chicken with Arugula and Sweetpops Tomato Salad
Description: A whole organic young chicken is spatchcocked and pan-seared until golden, then finished in the oven for juicy, crispy-skinned results sized perfectly for two. The warm chicken is served alongside a bright salad of peppery baby arugula and halved sweetpops tomatoes dressed with olive oil and 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: 20 minutes prep + 45 minutes cook
Serving note: One whole young chicken (approximately 3-4 lbs.) serves 2 generously; use half the arugula bag (about 2.5 oz.) and roughly 1 cup of sweetpops tomatoes for the salad, saving the rest for Wednesday. Make-ahead tip: spatchcock the chicken the night before and dry-brine uncovered in the fridge for crispier skin.
Tuesday
Meal: Andouille Chicken Sausage and Red Bell Pepper Skillet with Basmati Rice
Description: Sliced andouille chicken sausage is seared with vibrant red bell peppers and aromatics in a single skillet, creating a smoky, satisfying weeknight dinner for two. Fluffy white basmati rice soaks up all the savory pan juices and rounds out the meal.
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 4 of the 10 sausage links (about 9-10 oz.) for 2 people; freeze the remaining 6 links for future meals. Use both red bell peppers. Cook 1 cup dry basmati rice to yield about 2 generous portions.

Wednesday
Meal: Teriyaki-Glazed Salmon Fillet with Broccolini and Sweetpops Tomatoes
Description: A fresh Faroe Island salmon fillet is brushed with teriyaki sauce and pan-seared to a caramelized glaze, served alongside tender broccolini and the remaining sweetpops tomatoes roasted or blistered in the same pan. This is a quick, elegant meal that comes together in under 30 minutes for two.
Sale items used: Fresh Faroe Island whole salmon fillet ($9.99), Broccolini 6 oz. ($2.49), Sweetpops tomatoes (remainder from Monday), Vitasia teriyaki sauce 8.4 fl. oz. ($1.99)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: The whole salmon fillet will likely weigh 1.5-2 lbs.; cut two equal portions (about 6-8 oz. each) and refrigerate or freeze the remainder if it is larger. Use the full 6 oz. broccolini package and the remaining sweetpops tomatoes (about 0.5 lb.) from Monday. Teriyaki sauce: 3-4 tablespoons is sufficient for glazing.

Thursday
Meal: Herring Fillets in Tomato Sauce over Thin Spaghetti with Crushed Red Pepper
Description: Savory herring fillets packed 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, pantry-friendly pasta dinner for two. The rich tomato sauce from the can coats every strand of pasta beautifully, making this a fast and flavorful meal.
Sale items used: Nixe herring fillets in tomato sauce 21 oz. ($4.99), Combino thin spaghetti 16 oz. ($0.98), Combino crushed red pepper 1.02 oz. ($0.99)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use the entire 21 oz. can of herring fillets in tomato sauce, divided between 2 bowls. Cook approximately 6-7 oz. (about half the 16 oz. box) of thin spaghetti for 2 servings; save the rest of the box for another meal. Use a generous pinch (about 1/4 teaspoon) of crushed red pepper per serving, adjusting to taste.

Description: Juicy 93% lean ground beef patties are pan-seared and stacked on thick-cut sourdough toast with creamy sliced avocado and fresh baby arugula for a hearty, dairy-free open-faced burger for two. A drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon on the arugula keeps everything bright and satisfying.
