5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Black Bean and Vidalia Onion Tacos with Tricolor Peppers
Description: Hearty black beans are seasoned with cumin and garlic, then piled into warm tortillas with sweet sauteed Vidalia onion and strips of roasted tricolor peppers for a colorful, satisfying taco night for two. Top with sliced avocado and a squeeze of lime for brightness and healthy fat.
Sale items used: Vidalia Sweet Onions ($3.49 for 5-lb bag), Publix Tricolor Peppers ($4.99 for 3-ct pkg), Green Avocados ($2 for 2 for $5.00), Bush's Best Beans ($1.00 from 10 for $10.00)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use about 1/4 of the onion bag (roughly 1 medium onion), all 3 tricolor peppers, 1 avocado, and 1 can of black beans for 2 generous servings of 2-3 tacos each. Tortillas are a pantry staple. The remaining onions, peppers, and avocado carry over to later meals this week.

Tuesday
Meal: Skillet-Scrambled Egg and Zucchini Frittata with Shredded Cheese
Description: Thinly sliced zucchini is sauteed in a cast-iron or oven-safe skillet, then a whisked egg mixture is poured over and finished under the broiler with a generous blanket of Kraft shredded cheese for a golden, protein-rich frittata. This one-pan dinner comes together quickly and slices into satisfying wedges for two.
Sale items used: Yellow Squash or Zucchini ($1.99 for 2-oz tray), Pete & Gerry's Eggs ($4.99 for 12-ct carton), Kraft Shredded Cheese ($3.00 from 2 for $6.00), Vidalia Sweet Onions (already purchased Monday)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 tray of zucchini, 6 eggs, and about half of one 8-oz bag of shredded cheese for a frittata that serves 2 as a full dinner. Slice into 4 wedges and serve with a simple salad from the pantry.

Wednesday
Meal: Ronzoni Pasta with Botticelli Sauce, Broccoli, and Mushrooms
Description: Al dente Ronzoni pasta is tossed with rich Botticelli marinara, tender broccoli florets, and sauteed Publix white mushrooms for a hearty Italian-style dinner that comes together in under 30 minutes. A finish of Kraft shredded cheese on top adds a melty, savory layer.
Sale items used: Ronzoni Pasta (BOGO - 1 box purchased, 1 free), Botticelli Premium Pasta Sauce ($4.99 for 12.3-24-oz jar), Broccoli or Cauliflower ($3.00 from 2 for $6.00 - 1 head), Publix White Mushrooms ($3.00 from 2 for $6.00 - 1 pack), Kraft Shredded Cheese (already purchased Tuesday)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Cook about 8 oz of pasta (half a standard 16-oz box) for 2 people, use half the jar of Botticelli sauce, 1 head of broccoli cut into florets, and 1 pack of mushrooms sliced. Save the second free pasta box and remaining sauce for another week.

Thursday
Meal: Dr. Praeger's Veggie Patties with Roasted Cauliflower and Corn
Description: Crispy Dr. Praeger's veggie patties are served alongside caramelized roasted cauliflower florets and sweet charred corn cut fresh from the cob for a wholesome, colorful plate. A drizzle of hot sauce or a dollop of avocado from earlier in the week ties everything together.
Sale items used: Dr. Praeger's Entrées ($3.99 for 8-10-oz box), Broccoli or Cauliflower ($3.00 from 2 for $6.00 - 1 head cauliflower), Bulk Sweet Corn ($1.00 from 5 for $5.00 - 1 ear per person, 2 total), Green Avocados (already purchased Monday)

Serving note: Use 1 box of Dr. Praeger's patties (typically 4 patties per box, 2 per person), 1 head of cauliflower cut into florets and roasted at 425 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, and 2 ears of corn. Roast the cauliflower first, then cook patties on the stovetop while cauliflower finishes.

Friday
Meal: Baked Egg and Bean Shakshuka with Crusty Ciabatta
Description: A spiced tomato and white bean sauce simmers in a skillet before eggs are nestled in and baked until just set, creating a deeply satisfying North African-inspired shakshuka for two. Warm presliced ciabatta rolls serve as the perfect vehicle for scooping up every last bit of the saucy, egg-rich dish.
Sale items used: Pete & Gerry's Eggs (already purchased Tuesday), Bush's Best Beans ($1.00 from 10 for $10.00 - 1 can white beans), Botticelli Premium Pasta Sauce (remaining half jar from Wednesday), Presliced Mini Fresh Ciabatta Rolls ($2.99 for 12-oz pkg), Vidalia Sweet Onions (already purchased Monday), Publix Tricolor Peppers (remaining peppers from Monday)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use 4 eggs total (2 per person), 1 can of white beans, the remaining half jar of Botticelli sauce, 1 small onion, and 1-2 remaining tricolor peppers. Warm the ciabatta rolls in the oven for the last 5 minutes of baking. Serves 2 generously from one skillet.
