Tuesday
Meal: Cajun Shrimp Lettuce Wrap Bowls with Guacamole and Salsa

A side of ready-made guacamole and Mateo's gourmet salsa complete this bold, low-carb bowl with creamy and smoky accents.

Wednesday
Meal: Baby Back Ribs with Sour Cream Dipping Sauce and Cucumber Slices
Description: Rather than cooking a full rack, ask the butcher to cut the rack in half or plan to cook half a rack and refrigerate the rest - the half rack is seasoned with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic, then oven-roasted low and slow until tender and falling off the bone. Fresh cucumber slices and a simple sour cream dipping sauce seasoned with a pinch of Cajun spice round out this satisfying low-carb plate.
Sale items used: Smithfield fresh baby back ribs ($2.99 per lb - purchase approximately 1.5 lbs for a personal portion), Daisy Pure and Natural sour cream 2 for $4.00 (1 unit - $2.00), long English cucumber ($0.79 - use remaining portion from Monday)
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 2 to 2.5 hours total oven time
Serving note: Approximately 1 to 1.5 lbs of ribs (half rack), 3 tablespoons sour cream for dipping, remaining cucumber slices - note the $2.99 price is per lb so budget approximately $4.50 to $5.00 for 1.5 lbs
