5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Braised Boneless Pork Shoulder with Spaetzle and Sauteed Cauliflower
Description: A generous portion of boneless pork shoulder is slow-braised until fork-tender, then served over buttery spaetzle egg noodles for a hearty, warming dinner for two. Sauteed cauliflower florets round out the plate with a lightly golden, savory finish.
Sale items used: Smithfield fresh boneless pork shoulder picnic roast, Alpenfest spaetzle German egg pasta, Cauliflower
Prep time: 30 minutes active, 2.5 hours total
Serving note: Use approximately 1 lb of pork shoulder for two people, cutting the roast down if needed and freezing the rest.

Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Chicken Breast with Mango Salsa and Tomatoes on the Vine

Sale items used: Farmer Focus fresh organic boneless skinless chicken breast, Honey mangos, Tomatoes on the vine, Organic limes
