Tuesday
Meal: Skillet-Scrambled Egg and Zucchini Frittata with Shredded Cheese
Description: Sliced zucchini is sauteed until golden in a small oven-safe skillet, then three beaten eggs are poured over and cooked low and slow into a fluffy single-serving frittata. Kraft shredded cheese is scattered on top and melted under the broiler for a quick, protein-rich vegetarian dinner.

Wednesday
Meal: Ronzoni Pasta with Botticelli Sauce, Broccoli, and Mushrooms
Description: A generous single-serving of Ronzoni pasta is boiled al dente and tossed with Botticelli marinara, tender broccoli florets, and sauteed Publix white mushrooms for a hearty Italian-style bowl. The BOGO Ronzoni deal means you have extra pasta on hand for the rest of the week at no added cost.

Use half of one broccoli head from the 2-for-$6 deal (save the other half for Thursday) and half of one container of Publix White Mushrooms from the 2-for-$6 deal. Use about one-third of the Botticelli jar for this serving; refrigerate the rest for future use.

Meal: Dr. Praeger's Veggie Patties with Roasted Cauliflower and Corn
Description: A Dr. Praeger's veggie entree is heated through while cauliflower florets and a fresh ear of corn are roasted in the oven with olive oil and seasoning until caramelized and tender. This is a simple, colorful plate that highlights the week's best produce deals with minimal effort.
Sale items used: Dr. Praeger's Entrées, Broccoli or Cauliflower (cauliflower), Bulk Sweet Corn

Friday
Meal: Baked Egg and Bean Shakshuka with Crusty Ciabatta
Description: The reserved black beans from Monday are simmered in Botticelli tomato sauce with diced Vidalia onion and tricolor pepper, then two eggs are cracked directly into the skillet and baked until just set for a rich, spiced single-serving shakshuka. Slices of warm presliced mini ciabatta rolls are served alongside for scooping up every last bit of the saucy, egg-topped stew.
Sale items used: Pete & Gerry's Eggs, Bush's Best Beans (reserved from Monday), Botticelli Premium Pasta Sauce, Vidalia Sweet Onions, Publix Tricolor Peppers, Presliced Mini Fresh Ciabatta Rolls
Prep time: 30 minutes
