Wednesday
Meal: Baked Portion Ham with Fresh Cranberry Sauce, Garlic Greens, and Rice
Description: A bone-in portion of ham is baked with a simple glaze and served with a tart homemade cranberry sauce and sauteed garlic collard greens. Fluffy white rice rounds out a cozy dinner for two.
Sale items used: Meijer Portion Ham Bone in ($2.49/lb), Fresh Cranberries ($0.99 for 12 oz. pkg), Turnip, Mustard or Collard Greens ($1.29 each)
Prep time: 15 minutes prep, 35 minutes cook (50 minutes total)
Serving note: Assumes 1.5 lbs bone-in portion ham (fully cooked, so you are only warming it). Bake at 325F for 25 to 30 minutes and skip any included glaze packet unless the label says gluten-free. Simmer the 12 oz of cranberries with 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water for 10 minutes. Use 1 bunch collards, sliced, with 2 cloves garlic. Cook 3/4 cup dry rice (about 1 1/2 cups cooked). Leftover cranberries keep a week in the fridge.

Thursday
Meal: Oven-Braised Chuck Roast with Onions and Mashed Russet Potatoes
Description: A small chuck roast is slowly braised in the oven with onions and gluten-free broth until fork-tender, with creamy mashed russets on the side. The braising liquid is thickened with cornstarch for a rich gravy.
Sale items used: Fresh from Meijer Certified Angus Beef Chuck Roast ($6.99/lb), Yellow Onions ($1.79 for 3 lb. bag), Russet Potatoes ($1.99 for 5 lb. bag)
Prep time: 20 minutes prep, 2 hours 45 minutes oven (about 3 hours total)
Serving note: Assumes 1.5 lbs chuck roast, which gives two generous portions plus a little leftover. Use 2 medium onions, sliced, and 2 lbs russet potatoes (about 4 medium) for the mash. Braise at 300F with 1 1/2 cups certified gluten-free broth, covered, for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Timing tip: braise the roast the night before or in the morning and reheat gently in its liquid, then boil and mash the potatoes just before serving. Thicken the gravy with 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with cold water.

Friday
Meal: Orange-Glazed Oven-Baked Chicken Wings with Rice
Description: Crisp oven-baked wings are tossed in a sticky orange glaze made from fresh mandarin juice, honey, and gluten-free tamari. They are served over fluffy rice for a sweet and savory finish to the week.
Sale items used: Fresh from Meijer Family Pack Chicken Wings ($2.99/lb), Mandarin Oranges ($2.99 for 3 lb. bag)
Prep time: 10 minutes prep, 45 minutes oven (55 minutes total)
Serving note: Assumes 1.5 lbs chicken wings (about 10 to 12 pieces). Toss with 1 tsp baking powder (check that it is gluten-free) and salt, then bake at 425F for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping once. For the glaze, simmer the juice of 3 mandarins with 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp certified gluten-free tamari, and 1 tsp cornstarch for 4 to 5 minutes. Cook 3/4 cup dry rice and serve the wings over it with mandarin segments. Regular soy sauce contains wheat, so use only tamari labeled gluten-free.
Check the label: soy sauce is usually brewed with wheat. Tamari and coconut aminos are the gluten-free alternatives.
