Meijer Vegetarian Meal Plan

5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Scrambled Egg and Creamer Potato Hash with Vidalia Onions and Baby-Cut Carrots
Description: Tender creamer potatoes are pan-roasted with sweet Vidalia onion and baby-cut carrots, then topped with fluffy scrambled eggs for a hearty one-pan breakfast or dinner. This satisfying hash is scaled perfectly for one, using just a handful of potatoes and a quarter of the onion bag.
Sale items used: True Goodness Organic Extra Large Eggs 18 ct ($6.99), The Little Potato Company Creamer Potatoes 3 lb bag ($4.99), Vidalia Onions 5 lb bag ($4.99), Baby-Cut Carrots 1 lb bag ($1.29)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use 3 eggs, about 6 oz of creamer potatoes (roughly 6 to 8 small potatoes), one quarter of a medium Vidalia onion (sliced thin), and a small handful of baby carrots (about 3 oz). The 3 lb potato bag, 5 lb onion bag, and 1 lb carrot bag will all carry over for later meals this week.

Tuesday
Meal: Peanut Butter Noodles with Shredded Carrots and Vidalia Onion
Description: A single serving of pasta is tossed in a creamy peanut butter sauce with a splash of soy sauce, a little vinegar, and a pinch of red pepper, then topped with shredded baby carrots and thinly sliced Vidalia onion. This quick weeknight noodle bowl is rich, savory, and comes together in under 30 minutes.
Sale items used: Jif Peanut Butter 28 oz ($3.99), Frederik's by Meijer Gourmet Pasta 12-16 oz ($2.99), Baby-Cut Carrots 1 lb bag (already purchased Monday), Vidalia Onions 5 lb bag (already purchased Monday)

Thursday
Meal: Creamer Potato and Vidalia Onion Soup with Bagels for Dipping

Sale items used: The Little Potato Company Creamer Potatoes 3 lb bag (already purchased Monday), Vidalia Onions 5 lb bag (already purchased Monday), Aunt Millie's Bagels 6 ct ($2.99)
Prep time: 35 minutes

Check the label: broth is often made from chicken or beef. Vegetable broth is the safe choice.
