5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Baked Chicken Drumsticks with Sweet Corn and Avocado Salsa

Sale items used: Fresh from Meijer Family Pack Chicken Drumsticks, Sweet Corn Tray Pack, Extra Large Avocados, Cherubs Tomatoes
Prep time: 45 minutes
Serving note: Plan on about 1 lb of drumsticks total (roughly 3 to 4 pieces per person), 2 ears of corn, 1 avocado, and half a 10 oz. container of Cherubs tomatoes for the salsa. The family pack will have leftovers you can freeze for later in the week.

Tuesday
Meal: Sauteed Pork Loin Assorted Chops with Multicolor Peppers and Rice
Description: Tender pork loin chops are pan-sauteed with sliced multicolor peppers and onion in a light garlic and herb olive oil sauce, creating a colorful and satisfying skillet dinner for two. Fluffy Minute Rice Ready to Serve rounds out the plate and soaks up all the savory pan juices.
Sale items used: Fresh from Meijer Pork Loin Assorted Chops, Multicolor Peppers, Minute Rice Ready to Serve
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Plan on about 1 lb of pork chops total (1 to 2 chops per person depending on thickness), the full 3-count bag of multicolor peppers, and 2 cups of prepared rice. The chops cook quickly so have everything prepped before the pan goes on.

Wednesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Meijer White Fish Fillets with Green Beans and Tomatoes
Description: Lightly seasoned Meijer white fish fillets (pollock or swai) are pan-seared in olive oil until golden and flaky, then plated alongside steamed green beans and halved Cherubs tomatoes warmed in the same pan. This quick weeknight dinner comes together in under 25 minutes and is naturally dairy-free.
Sale items used: Meijer Flounder, Ocean Perch, Pollock, or Swai, Meijer Sweet Corn, Green Peas, Mixed Vegetables, Green Beans or Broccoli Cuts, Cherubs Tomatoes
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: One 16 oz. package of fish provides two generous fillets. Use the remaining half of the Cherubs tomatoes from Monday and one bag of Meijer frozen green beans. The fish cooks in about 3 to 4 minutes per side so do not start it until the green beans are nearly done.

Thursday
Meal: Eckrich Smoked Sausage and Pepper Skillet with Sweet Corn
Description: Sliced Eckrich smoked sausage rope is browned in a skillet with the remaining multicolor peppers and onion, building a hearty one-pan meal with smoky, caramelized flavors. Fresh sweet corn cut from the cob is stirred in at the end for a pop of sweetness that balances the savory sausage.
Sale items used: Eckrich 2 Pc. Sausage Rope, Smok-Y Links, Sausage Links or Li'l Smokies, Sweet Corn Tray Pack
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use one sausage rope from the 2-pack (the second rope can be frozen or used for lunches) and 2 ears of corn from the tray pack. This uses up the remaining corn from Monday's purchase, keeping waste low.

Friday
Meal: Jennie-O Ground Turkey Lettuce-Free Taco Bowls with Avocado and Pico
Description: Seasoned Jennie-O ground turkey cooked with McCormick taco seasoning is served over Minute Rice Ready to Serve and topped with fresh pico de gallo made from Cherubs tomatoes, onion, lime, and cilantro, plus sliced avocado. The bowl format skips the lettuce entirely and leans on rice as the hearty base, making it a filling and completely dairy-free Friday dinner.
Sale items used: Jennie-O Ground Turkey, McCormick Taco Seasoning Mix, Minute Rice Ready to Serve, Extra Large Avocados, Cherubs Tomatoes
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use about 1 lb of ground turkey from the 3 lb. package (freeze the remaining 2 lbs. in 1 lb. portions), 1 avocado, 2 cups of prepared rice, and a fresh pico made from the last of the Cherubs tomatoes. The taco seasoning packet is $0.79 and counts as a flavor item this week.
