Food City Kosher Meal Plan

BUDGET RATIONALE

Why these meals: This week's kosher plan builds around Food City's fresh sales, so you get real variety without extra effort. Cabbage shows up twice, first sauteed with Monday's chicken breast, then braised alongside Tuesday's bottom round roast and potatoes for a comforting one-pan dinner. Midweek brings a lighter touch with pan-seared tilapia over salad mix, and Thursday keeps things simple with a rotisserie chicken served over that same fresh salad mix with tomatoes. Friday closes the week strong with a seared top sirloin steak, roasted potatoes from the same russet potato bag used on Tuesday, and a side of Fire Cracker Brussels sprouts for a little kick. Grab your lemons or limes pack too, since it stretches across both the chicken and tilapia nights for a bright, fresh finish.
