Piggly Wiggly Vegetarian Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week you get five vegetarian dinners built around cheese, starting with stuffed russet potatoes on Monday, baked ricotta pasta on Tuesday and a cornbread-topped skillet bake on Wednesday. Best Choice Cheese Shreds or Chunks turns up on three nights (Monday, Tuesday and Friday), so you will use all three packs you pick up, and mushrooms play the lead on both Monday and Thursday. Pick up two Barilla pastas for $4.00 and two Pace salsas for $5.00 so you get the sale pricing, even though each meal only needs one. Thursday's creamy cheese grits get a crunchy finish from the mixed nuts, and Friday's rice skillet wraps up the week quickly with Zatarain's and frozen vegetables.
