5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Sheet-Pan Chicken Drumsticks and Sweet Potato Wedges with Green Beans
Description: Drumsticks and sweet potato wedges roast together on one pan with mild seasoning, so cleanup is easy and kids can eat with their hands. Warmed green beans on the side make a simple, familiar plate for 2.
Sale items used: Butcher's Specialty fresh chicken drumsticks, sweet potatoes, cut green beans
Prep time: 50 minutes
Serving note: Use about 1.5 lb drumsticks (4 to 5 pieces), 1.5 lb sweet potatoes (cut into wedges), and 1 can green beans (use about half of the can tonight and save the rest for Tuesday). Roast at 425F for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping once, with oil, salt, and a little paprika or garlic powder.

Tuesday
Meal: Homestyle Meatballs in Brown Gravy over Mashed Potatoes with Green Beans
Description: Tender meatballs simmer in a smooth brown gravy and are spooned over fluffy mashed potatoes, a comforting plate kids love. The leftover green beans from Monday go alongside.
Sale items used: Frozen meatballs, brown gravy mix, instant mashed potatoes, cut green beans
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use about 12 meatballs (roughly half the bag, 13 to 14 oz) and freeze the remaining half for another meal. Make 1 packet of gravy mix as directed and simmer the meatballs in it for 10 minutes. Prepare the full 4 oz pouch of instant mashed potatoes (about 4 small servings, so extra for seconds), and warm the remaining green beans from Monday's can.

Wednesday
Meal: Roast Pork Loin with Roasted Apples and Carrots and Stuffing
Description: A small roast of pork loin is sliced thin and served with sweet roasted Granny Smith apples and tender baby carrots. Turkey-flavored stuffing adds a cozy, familiar side for 2.
Sale items used: Smithfield half boneless pork loin, Granny Smith apples, Peak Harvest baby carrots, stuffing mix (turkey)
Prep time: 55 minutes
Serving note: Buy a 1 lb piece cut from the pork loin (assumed total weight 1 lb) and roast at 400F for 35 to 40 minutes to 145F inside, then rest 5 minutes. Use 2 apples (cut into wedges) and about half the bag of baby carrots (8 oz) on the same pan, adding them for the last 25 minutes. Prepare half to the full 6 oz stuffing box on the stovetop while the pork rests. Total time is close to an hour, so start the stuffing water as the pork comes out of the oven, and save the remaining apples for Thursday.
