Monday
Meal: Sauteed Mushroom and Egg Scramble with Russet Potatoes and Tomatoes on the Vine

This hearty vegetarian breakfast-for-dinner is satisfying, colorful, and comes together in under 30 minutes for one.

Tuesday
Meal: Garbanzo Bean and Broccoli Stir-Fry with Soy Sauce over Russet Potatoes
Description: Tender broccoli florets and hearty garbanzo beans are stir-fried in a savory soy sauce glaze and spooned over roasted russet potato wedges for a filling plant-based meal. The combination of chickpea protein and vitamin-C-rich broccoli makes this a nutritionally complete and budget-friendly dinner for one.
Sale items used: Bush's Best Beans - Garbanzos (15-oz can), Broccoli (bunch), Publix Soy Sauce (14.5 or 15-oz bot.), Extra Large Russet Potatoes
Prep time: 30 minutes

The soy sauce 2-for-$4 deal gives you two bottles - use one this week and keep the second as a pantry staple.

Wednesday
Meal: Baked Bean and Corn Stuffed Russet Potatoes with Shredded Cheese
Description: A large russet potato is baked until fluffy, then loaded with smoky Bush's baked beans and sweet fresh corn cut from the cob, and finished with a generous handful of shredded cheese melted on top. This is a classic comfort meal that is completely hands-off during the baking time and deeply satisfying for one person.
Sale items used: Extra Large Russet Potatoes, Bush's Best Baked Beans (16-oz can), Bulk Sweet Corn, Publix Shredded Cheese (8-oz pkg.)
Prep time: 65 minutes (60 minutes baking, 5 minutes active)

Make-ahead note: bake the potato up to a day ahead and reheat in the oven or microwave, then add toppings fresh.

Thursday
Meal: Black Bean and Brussels Sprouts Tacos with Chunk Cheese and Tomatoes on the Vine
Description: Roasted Brussels sprouts and seasoned black beans are tucked into a warm tortilla shell and topped with sliced chunk cheese and fresh diced vine tomatoes for a vibrant and protein-rich vegetarian taco night. The caramelized edges of the roasted sprouts add a satisfying depth of flavor that makes this taco genuinely crave-worthy.

Friday
Meal: Nellie's Free Range Egg and Green Bean Frittata with Baby Bella Mushrooms
Description: Three Nellie's free range eggs are whisked and poured over sauteed baby bella mushrooms and tender-crisp green beans, then finished under the broiler for a golden, protein-packed frittata sized perfectly for one. This elegant skillet meal is a great way to use up the remaining mushrooms from Monday and feels like a restaurant-quality finish to the week.
Sale items used: Nellie's Free Range Eggs (12-ct.), Pero Family Farms Snipped Green Beans (12-oz pkg.), Publix Sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms (8-oz pkg.)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use 3 eggs from the Nellie's carton, the remaining 4 oz of baby bella mushrooms from Monday's package, and about half of the 12-oz green bean bag (roughly 6 oz). The green beans come 2 for $5 so you get two bags - use one this week and freeze the second. A small oven-safe skillet (6 to 8 inches) works best for a single-serving frittata.
