Thursday
Meal: Smoky Pork Rib Dinner with Blackberry Glaze
Description: Rather than cooking a full rack for just 2 people, the St. Louis pork ribs are cut into a smaller portion and slow-cooked in the oven low and slow until tender, then finished under the broiler with a homemade blackberry glaze made from simmered blackberries, honey, apple cider vinegar, and garlic. This practical approach keeps portions right-sized while delivering full smoky barbecue flavor without the waste of a whole rack.
Sale items used: Smithfield St. Louis Pork, Blackberries
Prep time: 2 hours 30 minutes (mostly hands-off oven time)
Serving note: Cut the slab and use approximately half the rack (3-4 ribs per person) for 2 people - wrap and freeze the remainder for a future meal

Meal: Savory Ground Turkey Lettuce Wrap Bowls

Served bowl-style with steamed rice and a drizzle of chili sauce, this light yet satisfying meal wraps up the week with bright, bold Asian-inspired flavor.
Sale items used: Kirkwood Fresh 85/15 Ground Turkey
Prep time: 20 minutes
