Monday
Meal: Sheet-Pan Chicken Drumsticks and Sweet Potato Wedges with Green Beans
Description: Two crispy, mildly seasoned drumsticks roast on one pan with sweet potato wedges that are perfect for dipping. A small side of buttery green beans rounds out an easy, hands-on dinner.
Sale items used: Butcher's Specialty fresh chicken drumsticks, sweet potatoes, cut green beans
Prep time: 50 minutes (10 minutes prep, 40 minutes roasting)
Serving note: Use about 0.75 lb of drumsticks (2 to 3 drumsticks). Cut 1 sweet potato (about 1/2 lb) into wedges and toss with a little oil, salt, and mild paprika. Roast both at 425F for about 40 minutes, flipping once. Warm 1/2 cup of green beans with a little butter. Save the rest of the can for Tuesday.

Tuesday
Meal: Homestyle Meatballs in Brown Gravy over Mashed Potatoes with Green Beans
Description: Tender homestyle meatballs simmer in a smooth brown gravy and are spooned over fluffy mashed potatoes. A scoop of green beans on the side keeps it familiar and comforting.
Sale items used: frozen meatballs, brown gravy mix, instant mashed potatoes, cut green beans
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use 5 to 6 meatballs (about 4 oz) from the bag and keep the rest frozen for another meal. Make about 1/2 cup of gravy from 1/3 of the gravy mix packet (or the whole packet, with leftover gravy to freeze). Prepare about 1 cup of mashed potatoes using roughly 1/4 of the 4 oz box. Warm 1/2 cup of green beans from the opened can.

Wednesday
Meal: Roast Pork Loin with Roasted Apples and Carrots and Stuffing
Description: A small roasted pork loin portion is sliced thin and served with sweet, tender roasted apple wedges and baby carrots. A scoop of soft, buttery stuffing makes it feel like a cozy mini holiday dinner.
Sale items used: Smithfield half boneless pork loin, Granny Smith apples, baby carrots, stuffing mix (turkey)
Prep time: 45 minutes (10 minutes prep, 35 minutes roasting)
Serving note: Ask the meat counter to cut about 0.5 lb from the pork loin, or cut a piece from the whole half loin and freeze the rest. Roast at 400F with 1 apple (cut in wedges) and about 1 cup of baby carrots, tossed with oil, a pinch of salt, and a little cinnamon on the apples. Pork is done at 145F, about 25 to 30 minutes, then rest 5 minutes. Make about 1/3 of the 6 oz stuffing box with water and butter, following the box directions scaled down.

Sale items used: Hillandale jumbo white eggs, Dulano uncured turkey bacon, jumbo buttermilk biscuits, Granny Smith apples
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use 3 eggs with a splash of milk, 3 slices of turkey bacon, 1 to 2 biscuits baked per the package directions, and 1 sliced apple left from Wednesday's pack.

Meal: Shrimp Macaroni and Cheese with Sweet Corn

Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Make about 1/2 of the 7.25 oz mac and cheese box (about 1.5 cups prepared) using a little milk and butter from home. Thaw 6 to 8 shrimp (about 2 oz), chop them into small pieces, and stir them in at the end to warm through. Heat 1/2 cup of corn from the can. Keep leftover shrimp and corn refrigerated for snacks or lunch within 2 days, or cook the full box of mac and cheese and save leftovers.
