Food City Kosher Meal Plan

5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Ground Beef Patties with Vidalia Onions and Beefsteak Tomatoes on That's Smart! Sandwich Bread
Description: (Meat) Season a single quarter-pound ground beef patty and sear it in a hot skillet with olive oil until cooked through, then layer it on That's Smart! Sandwich Bread with sliced Vidalia onion and fresh beefsteak tomato. This simple, satisfying burger-style meal comes together in minutes and uses the best sale prices of the week.
Sale items used: Ground Beef Food City Fresh 81% Lean ($2.99/lb), Vidalia Onions Sweet ($1.29/lb), Beefsteak Tomatoes Vine Ripened ($1.99/lb), That's Smart! Sandwich Bread ($1.69)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use approximately 0.25 lb ground beef for 1 patty; assume 0.25 lb Vidalia onion and 0.25 lb beefsteak tomato; 2 slices of bread from the loaf. The bread loaf and tomato will carry over for Wednesday's meal, making this a smart buy for the week.

Tuesday
Meal: Baked Fresh Split Chicken Breast with Sweet Corn and Tasteful Selections Potatoes
Description: (Meat) Season one split chicken breast with olive oil, garlic, and herbs, then bake at 400 degrees F until golden and cooked through, alongside halved Tasteful Selections potatoes roasted in the same pan. Serve with one ear of sweet corn boiled or microwaved for a complete, hearty plate.
Sale items used: Fresh Split Chicken Breast Sanderson Farms Family Pack ($1.99/lb), Tasteful Selections Potatoes 16 oz ($2.99), Loose Corn Sweet (2/$1.00)

Serving note: Use approximately 0.75 lb split chicken breast (one piece); use half the 16 oz bag of potatoes and save the rest for another use; purchase 1 ear of corn at $0.50. Make-ahead tip: season the chicken the night before and refrigerate to cut evening prep time.

Wednesday
Meal: Scrambled Eggs with Sauteed Vidalia Onions and Beefsteak Tomatoes, Served with Garlic Loaf Bread
Description: (Dairy) Whisk 3 eggs and scramble them in a skillet with butter alongside sauteed Vidalia onion slices and diced beefsteak tomato for a bright, vegetable-forward breakfast-for-dinner. Serve alongside a generous slice of warm Garlic Loaf Bread for a satisfying and budget-friendly meal.
Sale items used: That's Smart! Large Eggs Dozen ($1.69), Vidalia Onions Sweet ($1.29/lb), Beefsteak Tomatoes Vine Ripened ($1.99/lb), Garlic Loaf Bread Baked Fresh Daily ($3.99)

Serving note: Use 3 eggs from the dozen purchased Monday; use approximately 0.15 lb Vidalia onion and 0.25 lb beefsteak tomato - buy a single medium tomato (roughly 0.5 lb total) to cover both Monday and Wednesday. The egg dozen and garlic bread loaf will have leftovers for breakfasts or snacks through the week.

Thursday
Meal: Pan-Cooked Nathan's Beef Franks with That's Smart! Vegetables and Sweet Corn

Friday
Meal: Pan-Seared Fresh Tilapia Fillets with Caesar or Caesar Lite Kit Salad and Honeycrisp Apples
Description: (Dairy - no meat) Season one tilapia fillet with lemon, olive oil, salt, and pepper, then sear it in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until flaky and golden. Serve alongside a portion of the Fresh Express Caesar Kit tossed to order, with sliced Honeycrisp apple on the side for a refreshing finish.
Sale items used: Fresh Tilapia Fillets Farm Raised ($6.99/lb), Caesar or Caesar Lite Kit Fresh Express 9.8-10 oz ($2.99), Juicy Honeycrisp Apples ($1.99/lb)

Serving note: Use approximately 0.5 lb tilapia (1 fillet); use half the Caesar kit and save the rest for a lunch salad; purchase approximately 0.5 lb Honeycrisp apples (1 to 2 apples). This is a dairy-permissible meal since no meat is used - the Caesar dressing contains dairy, which is fully kosher here.
