Monday
Meal: Sheet-Pan Roasted Chicken Thighs with Sweet Potatoes
Description: Two bone-in chicken thighs roast on one pan with cubed sweet potato and wedges of onion until the skin is crisp and the potatoes are caramelized. It's an easy one-pan dinner with minimal cleanup.
Sale items used: Chicken Thighs ($1.69/lb), Bulk Sweet Potatoes ($0.89/lb), Yellow Onions ($1.79 for 3 lb. bag)
Prep time: 50 minutes
Serving note: Assume 1 lb of chicken thighs (2 to 3 thighs) and 1 lb of sweet potatoes (1 large, cubed), plus 1/4 onion in wedges. Roast at 425 F for 35 to 40 minutes, tossing the potatoes once. Eat 2 thighs tonight and save any extra for lunch.

Tuesday
Meal: Beef and Potato Skillet Hash
Description: Browned ground beef, crispy diced russet potato, and onion are cooked together in one skillet and seasoned with paprika and garlic. It's a hearty, budget-friendly dinner for one.
Sale items used: 80% Lean Ground Beef ($4.49/lb), Russet Potatoes ($1.99 for 5 lb. bag), Yellow Onions ($1.79 for 3 lb. bag)
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: Assume 0.5 lb ground beef, 1 medium russet (about 8 oz, diced small), and 1/4 cup diced onion. Microwave the diced potato for 3 minutes first so it crisps faster in the skillet. Drain excess fat before serving.

Wednesday
Meal: Cranberry-Glazed Baked Ham with Sauteed Greens
Description: A small bone-in ham portion is brushed with a quick glaze of simmered fresh cranberries, sugar, and mandarin juice, then baked until glossy. Collard greens are sauteed with onion and garlic on the side.
Sale items used: Portion Ham Bone in ($2.49/lb), Fresh Cranberries ($0.99 for 12 oz. pkg), Collard Greens ($1.29 each), Mandarin Oranges ($2.99 for 3 lb. bag), Yellow Onions ($1.79 for 3 lb. bag)
Prep time: 45 minutes
Serving note: Assume a 0.75 lb ham portion (fully cooked, so you are just heating and glazing it). Simmer 1/3 cup cranberries with 1 Tbsp sugar and the juice of 1 mandarin for 8 minutes, then brush it on the ham and bake at 350 F for 25 to 30 minutes. Saute half the bunch of collards (stems removed) with 2 Tbsp diced onion for 10 to 12 minutes, and save the other half for Thursday. Freeze the leftover cranberries.

Sale items used: Chicken Wings ($2.99/lb), Mandarin Oranges ($2.99 for 3 lb. bag), Ben's Original Ready Rice ($1.99), Collard Greens ($1.29 each)
Prep time: 55 minutes

Meanwhile, simmer the juice of 2 mandarins with 1 tsp sugar and a pinch of garlic powder until syrupy, about 8 minutes. Use half the pouch of Ben's rice (about 1 cup cooked) and save the rest for lunch. Saute the remaining collards for 10 minutes.

Friday
Meal: Braised Chuck Roast with Potatoes and Onions
Description: A small chuck roast is seared, then braised low and slow in broth with chunks of russet potato and onion until fork-tender. The cooking liquid reduces into a rich, savory sauce.
Sale items used: Certified Angus Beef Chuck Roast ($6.99/lb), Russet Potatoes ($1.99 for 5 lb. bag), Yellow Onions ($1.79 for 3 lb. bag), Meijer Broth ($0.79)
Prep time: 2 hours 30 minutes
Serving note: Assume a 0.75 lb chuck roast, cut into 2 or 3 chunks so it cooks faster. Use 1 medium russet (about 8 oz, quartered), 1/2 onion in wedges, and 1 cup broth. Braise covered at 325 F for about 2 hours, adding the potatoes and onion for the last 45 minutes. To save time, sear and assemble in the morning and refrigerate, then put it in the oven about 2.5 hours before dinner. Leftovers reheat well.
