Piggly Wiggly Vegetarian Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Cottage Cheese and Mushroom Stuffed Baked Potatoes
Description: Two large Idaho potatoes are baked until fluffy, then stuffed with a creamy mix of cottage cheese, sauteed mushrooms, and sweet onion. Topped with melted cheese, they make a filling, protein-rich dinner for two.
Sale items used: Green Giant Idaho Potatoes, Daisy Cottage Cheese, Whole White Mushrooms, Peruvian Sweet Onions, Borden Cheese
Prep time: 75 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 large Idaho potatoes (about 1 lb total), 1 cup cottage cheese, 1 pack (8 oz) mushrooms sliced, about 1/3 lb onion (half of a 1.5 lb total purchase for the week, diced), and 1/2 cup shredded Borden cheese. Total time is about 75 minutes, so microwave the pricked potatoes for 8 to 10 minutes first and then finish in a 425 F oven for 20 minutes, or bake them the day before and reheat. The leftover potatoes from the 2-for-$5 deal keep well for another week.
Check the label: many hard cheeses are set with animal rennet.

Tuesday
Meal: Refried Bean and Avocado Tostadas with Fresh Salsa
Description: Crisp tostada shells are spread with warm refried beans, then topped with melted cheese, sliced avocado, and bell pepper strips. A quick fresh salsa of canned tomatoes, onion, and lemon juice finishes four generous tostadas for two.
Sale items used: Old El Paso Refried Beans, Old El Paso Tostada Shells, Fresh Avocados, Red Gold Tomatoes, Peruvian Sweet Onions, Fresh Lemons, Borden Cheese, Extra Large Bell Peppers
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use 4 to 6 tostada shells, 1 can refried beans (warmed), 2 avocados sliced, 1/2 cup shredded Borden cheese, and 1 bell pepper cut in thin strips. For the salsa, drain 1 can Red Gold diced tomatoes and mix with about 1/4 lb onion finely diced, juice of 1/2 lemon, salt, and cilantro if you have it. Warm the shells in the oven for 3 minutes so they stay crisp.
Check the label: refried beans are often made with lard.
