Tuesday
Meal: Baked Bone-In Chicken Thighs with Ore-Ida Frozen Potatoes

Sale items used: Fresh bone-in chicken thighs ($0.99/lb), Ore-Ida frozen potatoes ($4.49)
Prep time: 15 minutes prep, 45 minutes bake time
Serving note: Purchase about 1.5 lbs of bone-in chicken thighs (roughly 3 thighs) at $0.99/lb for a total of $1.49; use half the bag of Ore-Ida potatoes and save the rest for another meal; total bake time is about 45 minutes so preheat the oven early.
Wednesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Chicken Drumsticks with Dinner Rolls
Description: Chicken drumsticks are pan-seared until the skin is crispy and golden, then finished in the oven with a simple butter and garlic glaze that kids find irresistible. Soft dinner rolls on the side make this a fun, hands-on meal perfect for little ones.

Meal: Skillet-Cooked Boneless Country Style Ribs with Orzo Pasta
Description: Boneless country style ribs are browned in a skillet and simmered in a simple tomato-based sauce until tender, then served alongside buttery orzo pasta for a hearty and kid-friendly dinner. The mild, meaty flavor and soft pasta texture make this a meal even picky eaters will enjoy.
Sale items used: Fresh boneless country style ribs ($2.99), Eridanous orzo pasta ($1.09), Tomato basil & garlic pasta sauce (leftover from Monday)
Prep time: 15 minutes prep, 35 minutes cook time

Friday
Meal: Sauteed Sea Scallops and Shrimp with Buttered Spaghetti
Description: Sweet sea scallops and shrimp are quickly sauteed in butter until golden, then served over thin spaghetti tossed with more butter and a pinch of salt for a simple, elegant dinner kids will find fun and delicious. Keep the seasoning mild and buttery so the natural sweetness of the seafood shines through.
Sale items used: Fresh sea scallops & shrimp ($8.99), Combino thin spaghetti (remaining from Monday), Salted spreadable butter (remaining from Wednesday)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: One pack of sea scallops and shrimp at $8.99 is a flat package price and provides a generous portion for 2 people; cook the remaining spaghetti from Monday (about 4 oz dry); pat seafood completely dry before searing for best results and cook scallops first, then shrimp, about 2-3 minutes per side.
