5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder with Yellow Potatoes and Corn
Description: A small bone-in pork shoulder roast is slow-roasted until tender, alongside golden yellow potatoes. Served with a buttered ear of corn for a hearty, budget-friendly dinner.
Sale items used: SMITHFIELD bone-in pork shoulder butt roast, yellow potatoes, corn
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Assume a 2 lb roast (about 1.5 lb after bone; yields leftovers for sandwiches or the chili-free lunches). Use about 3 small yellow potatoes (about 0.5 lb) and 1 ear of corn. Roasting takes about 3 hours at 300F, so season the pork the night before and let it cook while you do other things. Leftover pork reheats well.

Sale items used: DULANO tomato, basil & mozzarella chicken sausage, yellow potatoes, ITALIAMO cherry tomato sauce
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 sausage links (about a third of the family pack, check the label to confirm it is gluten-free), 2 small potatoes (about 0.4 lb), and 1/3 cup cherry tomato sauce. Freeze the remaining sausage for later. Total time is about 30 minutes.

Sale items used: BUTCHER'S SPECIALTY grass-fed ground beef, Goya red kidney beans, diced tomatoes, ITALIAMO Arborio rice
Prep time: 40 minutes
Serving note: Use the whole ground beef pack (assume 1 lb; use about 1/3 lb tonight and freeze the rest or make a full batch of chili to reheat), 1 can kidney beans (use half), 1 can diced tomatoes (use half), and 1/3 cup dry Arborio rice.
