Wednesday
Meal: Baby Back Ribs with Sour Cream Dipping Sauce and Cucumber Slices
Description: At $2.99 per rack, baby back ribs are an exceptional value - a half rack per person is seasoned with a low-carb dry rub of paprika, garlic powder, cumin, and black pepper, then slow-roasted in the oven at 300 degrees for 2.5 hours until fall-off-the-bone tender. The ribs are served with a cool sour cream dipping sauce mixed with a pinch of garlic and chive, alongside fresh-sliced cucumber rounds for a crunchy low-carb side.
Sale items used: Smithfield fresh baby back ribs ($2.99 per rack - purchase 1 rack), Daisy Pure & Natural sour cream - 1 unit of 2 for $4.00 ($2.00), Long English cucumber (already purchased Monday)

Thursday
Meal: Pan-Seared Sea Scallops with Arrabbiata Tomato Sauce and Shredded Cheese
Description: Jumbo wild-caught sea scallops are patted dry, seasoned simply, and seared in olive oil over high heat until a deep golden crust forms, then finished with a warm spoonful of arrabbiata sauce for a touch of spicy tomato richness. The dish is finished with a sprinkle of shredded cheese that melts slightly over the hot scallops for a restaurant-quality low-carb dinner at a fraction of the cost.
Sale items used: Lidl Preferred Selection frozen jumbo wild caught sea scallops ($12.99), Filippo Berio arrabbiata sauce ($1.99), Deli sliced/shredded cheese - 1 unit of 2 for $5.00 ($2.50), Filippo Berio extra virgin olive oil (already purchased Monday)
