5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Baked Chicken Nuggets with Crinkle Cut Fries and Sweetpops Tomatoes
Description: Crispy oven-baked chicken nuggets paired with golden crinkle cut fries make a classic kid-approved dinner that is easy to pull together on a weeknight. Serve alongside a handful of sweet Sweetpops tomatoes for a pop of color and freshness that kids love to snack on.
Sale items used: Tyson frozen chicken nuggets (29 oz.), Harvest Basket frozen crinkle cut French fried potatoes (5.51 lb.), Sweetpops tomatoes (1.5 lb.)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use about 10 to 12 nuggets per person (roughly half the bag saved for another use), and serve a generous scoop of fries from the family bag alongside about 6 to 8 tomatoes each. The large fry bag will have plenty left over for the week - bake nuggets and fries simultaneously on separate sheet pans at 400F to save time.
Tuesday
Meal: Homemade Pizza with Italian Chicken Sausage and Red Bell Peppers
Description: A fun hands-on pizza night using ready-to-roll Jus Rol pizza dough topped with savory Italian chicken sausage and sweet red bell pepper slices that kids can help assemble. The mild, familiar flavors and melty cheddar cheese make this a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for any age.
Sale items used: Jus Rol pizza dough (14.1 oz.), Dulano Italian chicken sausage (10 ct. 24 oz.), Red bell peppers (2 ct.), Milbona sliced sharp cheddar cheese (16 oz.), Combino tomato, basil & garlic pasta sauce (24 oz.)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use the full dough sheet divided into 2 personal pizzas, slice and cook 3 to 4 sausage links (about 7 to 9 oz. of the pack), use both bell peppers sliced thin, and lay 4 to 5 slices of cheddar across both pizzas. Spread about 1/3 cup of pasta sauce per pizza as the base. Remaining sausage can be frozen for later use.
Wednesday
Meal: Spaghetti with Ground Beef Patties and Combino Tomato Sauce
Description: Two ground beef patties are crumbled and browned in a pan then simmered in Combino tomato basil sauce and tossed with thin spaghetti for a quick and hearty pasta dinner kids adore. Finished with a sprinkle of shredded Parmesan, this is a simple weeknight bolognese-style meal that comes together in under 30 minutes.
Sale items used: Fresh ground beef patties 93% lean 4 ct. (21.3 oz.), Combino thin spaghetti (16 oz.), Combino tomato basil & garlic pasta sauce (24 oz.), Combino shredded Parmesan cheese (5 oz.)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 of the 4 patties (roughly 10.5 oz. of beef) crumbled and browned, then simmer with the remaining pasta sauce (after Tuesday used about 2/3 cup). Cook about 6 oz. of spaghetti (half the box) for 2 generous servings. Top each bowl with 1 to 2 tablespoons of Parmesan. Refrigerate the remaining 2 raw patties for another meal.
Thursday
Meal: Pan-Browned Ball Park Franks with Pierogies and Broccolini
Description: Juicy Ball Park franks are pan-browned until lightly caramelized and served alongside pillowy classic onion pierogies and tender steamed broccolini for a fun and filling dinner kids will ask for again. The mild savory flavors and soft textures make this a great no-fuss plate that even picky eaters enjoy.
Sale items used: Ball Park bun size franks (15 oz.), Mrs. T's frozen pierogies classic onion (32 oz.), Broccolini (6 oz.)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 to 3 franks per person (4 to 6 total from the pack), boil and pan-fry 5 to 6 pierogies per person (10 to 12 total from the bag), and steam the full 6 oz. package of broccolini split between two plates. Remaining franks and pierogies keep well refrigerated or frozen for future meals.
Friday
Meal: Hatherwood British Style Fish and Chips
Description: A fun Friday fish night featuring Hatherwood's ready-to-bake British style fish and chips, which delivers crispy battered fish fillets and thick-cut chips straight from the oven with minimal effort. Serve with a side of Freshona dill pickles and a squeeze of ketchup for a kid-friendly pub-style dinner at home.
Sale items used: Hatherwood British style fish & chips (38.8 oz.), Freshona German style dill pickles (57.4 fl. oz.)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: The 38.8 oz. package is designed as a complete meal and portions naturally for 2 to 3 people - divide the fish and chips evenly between two plates. Set out a small bowl of pickles on the side for dipping and snacking. Follow package baking instructions, typically 425F for 25 to 28 minutes, flipping chips halfway through.
