Publix Low-Carb Meal Plan

5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Slow-Roasted Publix Pork Picnic with Brussels Sprouts
Description: A small pork picnic roast is slow-roasted with garlic and spices until tender and crisp-skinned, then served with roasted Brussels sprouts. The size is right for two people with a little left over for lunch.
Sale items used: Publix Pork Picnic, Brussels Sprouts
Prep time: 15 minutes (about 3 hours total with roasting)
Serving note: Use a 2.5 lb bone-in pork picnic (assumed total weight) and 1 bag of Brussels sprouts (about 12 oz), halved. Roast at 300F for about 2.5 hours, then add the sprouts for the last 25 minutes at 425F. Make-ahead: rub the pork with spices the night before, and the roast reheats well for leftovers.
