5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Pork Loin Assorted Chops with Creamer Potatoes and Baby-Cut Carrots
Description: A single bone-in pork loin assorted chop is seared in a hot skillet until golden and juicy, then rested while creamer potatoes and baby-cut carrots cook alongside for a complete, satisfying plate. The natural sweetness of the carrots and buttery potatoes pairs beautifully with the savory, caramelized pork.
Sale items used: Pork Loin Assorted Chops ($1.49/lb), The Little Potato Company Creamer Potatoes ($2.49 with Buy 5), Baby-Cut Carrots ($1.29 for 1 lb. bag)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 chop, approximately 0.5 lb, costing about $0.75; use roughly one-quarter of the creamer potato bag (about 4 oz) and a generous handful of carrots (about 3 oz) from the 1 lb. bag. The potato bag and carrot bag will have leftovers for snacking or other meals this week.

- Easy Pan-Seared Pork Chops

Tuesday
Meal: Skillet-Browned Jennie-O 93% Lean Ground Turkey Bolognese over Creamette Pasta
Description: Lean ground turkey is browned in a skillet with onion and garlic, then simmered in Prego pasta sauce to create a rich, meaty bolognese that comes together quickly on a weeknight. It is served over a single portion of Creamette pasta for a hearty, protein-packed dinner.
Sale items used: Jennie-O 93% Lean Ground Turkey ($2.99 with Buy 5), Creamette Pasta ($1.29 each), Prego Pasta Sauce ($1.99 with Buy 5), Bulk Vidalia or Sweet Onions ($1.29/lb)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use about one-third of the ground turkey package (roughly 0.33 lb) for one serving; freeze the remainder in two portions for future meals. Cook about 2 oz dry pasta (roughly one-quarter of the box). Use half a cup of pasta sauce from the jar, which keeps well refrigerated. Use about 0.25 lb of onion, costing roughly $0.32.

Wednesday
Meal: Oven-Baked Chicken Tenderloins with Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce and Cherubs Tomatoes Salad
Description: Boneless chicken tenderloins are coated in Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce and baked until sticky and caramelized, making for an easy, flavorful main course. A simple side salad of Cherubs tomatoes with a drizzle of Kraft salad dressing rounds out the plate with freshness and color.
Sale items used: Fresh from Meijer Family Pack Boneless Chicken Tenderloins ($3.99/lb), Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ or Dipping Sauce ($0.99 with Buy 5), Cherubs Tomatoes ($2.69 with Buy 5), Kraft Salad Dressing ($0.99 with Buy 5)
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: Use approximately 0.5 lb of chicken tenderloins, costing about $2.00; portion out what you need and freeze the rest from the family pack. Use about one-quarter of the Cherubs tomato container for the salad. The BBQ sauce and salad dressing bottles will last well beyond this week.

Thursday
Meal: Stovetop Eckrich Sausage Rope Slices with Sauteed Mushrooms and Onions over Ben's Original Ready Rice
Description: Eckrich smoked sausage rope is sliced into coins and browned in a skillet, then tossed with sauteed mushrooms and sweet onions for a smoky, savory one-pan meal. Everything is spooned over a pouch of Ben's Original Ready Rice for a fast, filling dinner with minimal cleanup.
Sale items used: Eckrich 2 Pc. Sausage Ropes ($1.29 with Buy 5), True Goodness Organic Whole or Sliced White Mushrooms ($2.19 with Buy 5), Bulk Vidalia or Sweet Onions ($1.29/lb), Ben's Original Ready Rice ($1.99 each)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use about one-quarter of one sausage rope (roughly 4 oz) for a single serving; the rest of the rope refrigerates well for several days or freezes easily. Use about half the mushroom container (roughly 4 oz). Use about 0.25 lb of onion, costing roughly $0.32. One full pouch of Ben's Ready Rice is a perfect single serving.

Friday
Meal: Pan-Cooked Black Pearl Atlantic Salmon Burgers on St. Pierre Brioche Buns with Minis Avocados and Cherubs Tomatoes
Description: A Black Pearl Atlantic Salmon Burger is pan-seared until golden and flaky, then nestled in a toasted St. Pierre Brioche Bun and topped with sliced mini avocado and fresh Cherubs tomatoes for a bright, restaurant-quality finish. This is a flavorful, omega-rich way to close out the week on a high note.
Sale items used: Black Pearl Atlantic Salmon Burgers ($4.99 each), St. Pierre Brioche Bread Hamburger or Hot Dog Buns ($1.49 with Buy 5), Minis Avocados ($2.99 for 6 ct. bag), Cherubs Tomatoes ($2.69 with Buy 5)
Prep time: 15 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 salmon burger ($4.99) and 1 brioche bun from the pack; the remaining buns can be used for other meals or frozen. Use 1 mini avocado from the 6-count bag and a small handful of Cherubs tomatoes. The avocado bag and tomato container will have plenty left over from earlier in the week.
