5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Baked Chicken Drumsticks with Broccoli and Salsa
Description: Juicy oven-baked chicken drumsticks seasoned with pantry spices are roasted alongside tender broccoli crowns for a simple, satisfying gluten-free dinner for two. A side of fresh salsa adds bright flavor and color to the plate.
Sale items used: Butcher's Specialty fresh chicken drumsticks ($1.39/lb), Broccoli crowns ($1.49/lb), Baked beans / salsa / pickles assorted 24-28 oz. (3 for $5.00, select salsa)
Prep time: 15 minutes (plus 40 minutes roasting)
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1.5 lbs of drumsticks (about 4 drumsticks) for two people, costing roughly $2.09; use about 0.75 lb of broccoli crowns, costing roughly $1.12; buy one jar of salsa as part of the 3 for $5.00 deal. Total roasting time is about 55 minutes - preheat the oven while you prep the vegetables to keep things moving.
Tuesday
Meal: Slow-Simmered Pork Shoulder with Corn Tortillas and Sour Cream
Description: A modest portion of Smithfield boneless pork shoulder is slow-simmered with pantry spices until fork-tender, then served in warm corn tortillas with a dollop of cool sour cream. This scaled-down version keeps the rich, comforting flavors of a classic slow-cooked pork meal without the waste of a full large roast.
Sale items used: Smithfield fresh boneless pork shoulder picnic roast ($2.49/lb), Small corn tortillas 25 oz. ($1.49), Sour cream light or regular 16 oz. ($1.29)
Prep time: 20 minutes (plus 2.5 to 3 hours simmering)
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1.5 lbs of pork shoulder for two people, costing roughly $3.74; use 6 to 8 corn tortillas from the pack (the rest keep well for Thursday); use about half the sour cream container. Make-ahead tip - start the pork at least 3 hours before dinner, or simmer it earlier in the day and reheat gently at mealtime.

Meal: Pan-Seared Salmon Fillets with Lemon and Broccoli
Description: Two skin-on salmon fillet portions are pan-seared to golden perfection and finished with a bright squeeze of fresh lemon, served alongside steamed broccoli crowns for a light and elegant gluten-free dinner. The family-size salmon pack provides generous portions and the lemons add fresh citrus flavor throughout.
