Tuesday
Meal: Roasted Tasteful Selections Potato and Canned Bean Bowl with Caesar Kit Salad
Description: A 16 oz bag of Tasteful Selections potatoes is halved and roasted until golden, then served over a base of pantry black or pinto beans seasoned with cumin and smoked paprika for a filling vegetarian bowl for two. The Fresh Express Caesar kit is tossed tableside and served alongside as a crisp, creamy salad course.
Sale items used: Tasteful Selections Potatoes (1 bag, 16 oz), That's Smart! Vegetables (1 can, used as bean substitute if canned beans are not on sale - or use pantry beans), Caesar or Caesar Lite Kit Fresh Express (1 kit)
Prep time: 40 minutes
Serving note: Use the full 16 oz bag of potatoes split between 2 people; use 1 can of That's Smart! vegetables or pantry canned beans for protein bulk; use the full Caesar kit split between 2 people. Roasting takes about 30 minutes - cut potatoes small (halved or quartered) to speed up cook time.
