Tuesday
Meal: Broiled Top Round London Broil with Roasted Fall Squash and Broccoli

Sale items used: Top Round London Broil, Fall Squash, Broccoli
Prep time: 40 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 lb London broil (assumed total weight, about 0.5 lb per person), 1 lb fall squash cut in cubes, and 1 bunch broccoli (about 3/4 lb). Marinate the steak in olive oil, garlic, and pepper for 30 minutes or overnight. Roast the squash at 425 F for 25 minutes, then add the broccoli for the last 12 minutes. Broil the steak 5 to 6 minutes per side and rest it 5 minutes before slicing.

Wednesday
Meal: Skillet-Seared Cumin Lamb Leg Cubes over Rice with Cucumber Salad
Description: Meat. Cubes of lamb leg are tossed with cumin and garlic, seared in a hot skillet in olive oil, and served over fluffy rice cooked in chicken broth. A cool cucumber salad with olive oil, lemon or vinegar, and herbs goes alongside, with no yogurt.
Sale items used: GreenWise Lamb Leg, Hot House Cucumbers
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use 0.75 lb boneless lamb leg (assumed total weight) cut into 1 inch cubes, 1 tsp cumin, 3/4 cup uncooked rice cooked in 1 1/2 cups chicken broth, and 1 cucumber for the salad. Buy kosher-certified lamb. Sear the lamb in batches, 2 to 3 minutes per side, so it browns instead of steams.

Thursday
Meal: Baked Chili Bean and Fall Squash Casserole with Tomatoes
Description: Dairy. Chili beans, cubed fall squash, and fresh tomatoes are layered in a baking dish and baked until tender and bubbling. A buttery breadcrumb topping adds crunch for a cozy vegetarian dinner for two.

Cube the squash and assemble the casserole earlier in the day, then bake covered at 375 F for 40 minutes and uncovered for 15 minutes. Prep is about 15 minutes and baking about 55 minutes. Serve it as a dairy meal only, with no meat.

Check the label: some baked beans are cooked with bacon or pork fat.

Friday
Meal: Oven-Roasted Garlic Butter Salmon Fillets with Sauteed Broccoli and Cucumber Salad
