5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Skillet-Braised Pork Shoulder with Tomatoes and Cauliflower over Rice
Description: Tender chunks of pork shoulder are seared and braised low and slow in a savory tomato sauce with cauliflower florets until everything is meltingly soft and fragrant. Served over fluffy white rice, this hearty one-skillet dinner is naturally gluten-free and deeply satisfying for two.
Sale items used: Smithfield fresh boneless pork shoulder picnic roast (1 lb), tomatoes on the vine, cauliflower
Prep time: 25 minutes active, 60 minutes total
Serving note: Use 1 lb of pork shoulder cut into 1.5-inch chunks, half a head of cauliflower broken into florets, and 2 medium vine tomatoes for 2 generous portions over 1 cup dry rice per person. Because braising takes about 60 minutes total, start the pork first before prepping the vegetables; alternatively, braise the pork the night before and reheat with the vegetables in about 15 minutes.

Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Fried Pork Breakfast Sausage and Egg Scramble with Roasted Cauliflower
Description: Sliced pork breakfast sausage patties are pan-fried until golden, then folded into soft scrambled eggs for a protein-packed morning skillet. Roasted cauliflower florets seasoned with olive oil and salt round out the plate for a filling, completely gluten-free breakfast for two.
Sale items used: Dulano pork breakfast sausage, Hillandale Farms medium white eggs, cauliflower
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use half the pack of Dulano pork breakfast sausage (about 3 to 4 patties total), 4 large eggs whisked together, and the remaining half head of cauliflower from Monday roasted at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes. Roast the cauliflower first while you fry the sausage so everything finishes at the same time.

Wednesday
Meal: Honey Mango and Pineapple Egg Fried Rice with Pork Sausage
Description: Day-old rice is stir-fried with sliced pork sausage, scrambled egg, diced fresh mango, and sweet pineapple chunks for a bright tropical fried rice that is naturally gluten-free when made with tamari. The honey mango adds a floral sweetness that balances the savory sausage beautifully for two.
Sale items used: Premio fresh Italian sausage (2 links), Hillandale Farms medium white eggs, honey mangos (2), Honeyglow sweet pineapple, organic wildflower honey
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 Premio sausage links removed from their casings and crumbled, 2 eggs, 2 honey mangos diced, and about 1 cup of fresh pineapple chunks for 2 servings over 1.5 cups of cooked leftover rice per person. Cook the rice the night before and refrigerate it so it fries up dry and fluffy rather than mushy.

Thursday
Meal: Slow-Braised Pork Shoulder with Lime and Pineapple over Baked Potatoes
Description: Pork shoulder is braised with fresh lime juice and pineapple chunks until fork-tender and caramelized, creating a tangy-sweet tropical sauce that soaks into fluffy baked potatoes. This vibrant gluten-free dinner for two is bright, filling, and uses the same affordable cut as Monday for great value.
Sale items used: Smithfield fresh boneless pork shoulder picnic roast (1 lb), organic limes, Honeyglow sweet pineapple
Prep time: 20 minutes active, 90 minutes total
Serving note: Use 1 lb of pork shoulder, the juice of 2 limes, and about 1 cup of diced fresh pineapple for 2 servings over 2 medium russet baked potatoes. Because braising takes about 90 minutes, start the pork at least 1.5 hours before serving; you can also braise it in the morning and keep it warm on low heat until dinner.

Friday
Meal: Tomato and Egg Shakshuka-Style Skillet with Roasted Potato Wedges
Description: Eggs are poached directly in a spiced, garlicky tomato sauce in a single skillet for a vibrant shakshuka-inspired dinner that is 100 percent gluten-free. Crispy oven-roasted potato wedges seasoned with olive oil and paprika serve as the perfect gluten-free scoop alongside the saucy eggs for two.
Sale items used: Tomatoes on the vine, Hillandale Farms medium white eggs
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use 4 to 5 vine tomatoes chopped into the sauce and 4 eggs cracked directly into the simmering skillet for 2 portions, plus 2 medium russet potatoes cut into wedges and roasted at 425 degrees F for 25 minutes. Start the potato wedges in the oven first, then build the tomato sauce so both finish at roughly the same time.
