Meijer Vegetarian Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week keeps dinners meatless without feeling thin, because beans and cheese do the heavy lifting: Bush's Chili Beans fill Monday's stuffed sweet potatoes and Wednesday's pan-seared burritos, and cheese appears in four of the five dinners. A few buys are planned to stretch across nights, so the one Chobani tub ($3.99) covers Monday's topping and Thursday's dip, and the Tillamook is split between Tuesday's baked pasta and Thursday's sheet-pan dinner. Your four bell peppers ($5.00) are used on Wednesday and Friday, which keeps fresh color in the week without extra trips. Friday's rice skillet with Frederik's cooking sauce ($2.99) takes only 20 minutes, so you can finish the week with an easy dinner.
