Publix Vegetarian Meal Plan

5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Stovetop Bush's Best Baked Bean and Sweet Corn Tacos with Kraft Shredded Cheese
Description: Smoky Bush's Best Baked Beans are warmed in a skillet with freshly cut sweet corn kernels, seasoned with cumin and chili powder, and spooned into soft tortillas for a hearty vegetarian taco night. Topped with a generous handful of Kraft Shredded Cheese, this one-person meal comes together in under 20 minutes using simple sale staples.
Sale items used: Bush's Best Baked Beans (15.8 or 16-oz can), Bulk Sweet Corn (each), Kraft Shredded Cheese (6 to 8-oz pkg.)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use half a 15.8-oz can of baked beans (save the rest for Wednesday), 1 ear of sweet corn cut from the cob, and about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese from the 2-for-$6.00 pkg. Tortillas are a pantry staple. The bean can splits cleanly across two meals this week, keeping waste minimal.

Tuesday
Meal: Baked Ricotta and Campari Tomato Stuffed Puff Pastry Tarts with Parmesan
Description: A sheet of GreenWise Puff Pastry is cut into two rustic tart bases, spread with seasoned Polly-O Ricotta, topped with sliced Campari Tomatoes, and baked until golden and bubbling. Finished with freshly grated Belgioioso Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil, this elegant single-serving dinner feels restaurant-worthy on a sale budget.
Sale items used: GreenWise Puff Pastry Sheets (17.3-oz box), Polly-O Ricotta Cheese (15-oz cup, BOGO), Campari Tomatoes (1-lb pkg., BOGO), Belgioioso Parmesan Cheese (8-oz pkg.)
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: Use roughly one-quarter of the puff pastry sheet for 2 small tarts, about 1/2 cup of ricotta, 3 to 4 Campari tomatoes sliced, and 2 tablespoons of Parmesan. The BOGO ricotta means you get a second cup free - refrigerate it for use through the week as a snack or side. Make-ahead tip: assemble tarts up to 2 hours ahead and refrigerate unbaked.

Wednesday
Meal: Simmered Bush's Best Baked Bean and Broccoli Stew over Zatarain's Rice
Description: The remaining half-can of Bush's Best Baked Beans is simmered with fresh broccoli florets, diced Campari Tomatoes, and a splash of vegetable broth into a thick, satisfying stew. Ladled over a single serving of fluffy Zatarain's Rice, this comforting bowl is filling, protein-rich, and built almost entirely from sale items.
Sale items used: Bush's Best Baked Beans (remaining half of Monday's can), Broccoli (each bunch), Campari Tomatoes (from BOGO pkg.), Zatarain's Rice (6 to 12-oz box, BOGO)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use the reserved half-can of baked beans from Monday, about 1 cup of broccoli florets cut from one bunch (the rest of the bunch keeps well in the fridge), 2 to 3 Campari tomatoes, and one serving of Zatarain's Rice prepared per package directions. The BOGO rice box gives you a second box for future meals.

Thursday
Meal: Skillet-Toasted Rana Cheese Tortelloni with Tillamook Cheese and Sauteed Baby Bella Mushrooms
Description: Rana Cheese Tortelloni is boiled until just tender, then pan-toasted in a lightly oiled skillet until the edges turn golden and slightly crisp. Sauteed Publix Baby Bella Mushrooms are folded in and the whole dish is finished with melted Tillamook Shredded Cheese for a rich, satisfying single-serving pasta dinner.
Sale items used: Rana Tortelloni (7 to 12-oz pkg., 2 for $10.00), Publix Baby Bella Mushrooms (8-oz pkg., 2 for $4.00), Tillamook Cheese Snacks or Shredded (6 to 8-oz pkg., 2 for $7.00)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use one full 9-oz pkg. of Rana Cheese Tortelloni (the 2-for-$10 deal means you pay $5 per pkg. - buy two and save the second for a future meal), half of the 8-oz mushroom pkg. (about 4 oz), and about 1/3 cup of Tillamook Shredded Cheese. The second mushroom pkg. from the 2-for-$4 deal can be used in eggs or salads later in the week.

Meal: Corn and Green Bean Skillet with Campari Tomato Salsa Verde and Naan
Description: Fresh sweet corn kernels and Publix Green Beans are sauteed in olive oil with garlic and smoked paprika, then topped with a quick salsa verde made from remaining Campari Tomatoes, lime juice, and cilantro. Served alongside warm Stonefire Naan Rounds for scooping, this bright and colorful vegetarian skillet is a satisfying end to the week.
Sale items used: Bulk Sweet Corn (each), Publix Green Beans (1-lb bag), Campari Tomatoes (remaining from BOGO pkg.), Stonefire Naan Rounds (12.7-oz pkg., BOGO)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 ear of sweet corn cut from the cob, about 1/2 lb of green beans from the 1-lb bag (save the rest for snacking or a side), 3 to 4 remaining Campari tomatoes chopped for the quick salsa, and 1 naan round from the BOGO pkg. The second naan pkg. freezes well for future use.
