5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Scrambled Egg and Sweet Corn Skillet with Garlic Loaf Bread

Sale items used: That's Smart! Large Eggs, Loose Sweet Corn, Garlic Loaf Bread
Prep time: 15 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 eggs from the dozen, 1 ear of sweet corn (kernels cut off), and 1 to 2 slices of garlic loaf bread. The garlic loaf will have leftovers - wrap and refrigerate remaining slices for use later in the week or as a snack.

Tuesday
Meal: Baked Egg and Canned Vegetable Casserole with Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits
Description: One or two eggs are cracked over a single-serving baking dish filled with seasoned That's Smart! canned vegetables, then baked until the whites are just set and the yolks are still slightly runny. Two fluffy Pillsbury Grands! biscuits bake alongside and are perfect for scooping up the savory vegetable and egg mixture.

Wednesday
Meal: Caesar Salad with Soft-Boiled Eggs and Saltine Crackers
