Piggly Wiggly Kid-Friendly Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Baked Fryer Leg Quarters with Roasted Broccoli and Russet Potatoes
Description: Two juicy chicken leg quarters are seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder, then baked until golden and crispy - a classic kid-approved dinner. Chunky russet potato wedges and tender broccoli florets roast right alongside for an easy, colorful plate.
Sale items used: Fresh Fryer Leg Quarters (10 lb. bag) $0.69/lb, Best Choice Russet Potatoes (10 lb. bag) $4.99 each, Broccoli Crowns $1.99/lb
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 45 minutes bake time
Serving note: Use approximately 1 lb of leg quarters (about 2 pieces) at $0.69/lb = $0.69; use 2 medium russet potatoes from the 10 lb bag; use about 0.5 lb of broccoli crowns. The 10 lb bag of chicken will leave plenty for other meals or freezing - portion out 2 pieces and freeze the rest the same day you shop. Total roast time is about 60 minutes, so preheat the oven early.
Tuesday
Meal: Skillet-Browned Ground Turkey Tacos with Refried Beans
Description: Seasoned ground turkey is browned in a skillet and spooned into taco shells for a fun, hands-on kid-friendly dinner. A warm side of refried beans rounds out the plate and makes the meal extra filling.
Sale items used: Butterball Fresh Ground Turkey (16 oz., 85% Lean) $3.99 each, Old El Paso Taco Seasoning (0.85-1 oz.) $0.99 each, Old El Paso Shells, Beans, Rice or Taco Sauce (8-12 ct.) $1.49 each, Old El Paso Refried Beans (4-16 oz.) $0.99 each
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use half the 16 oz. package of ground turkey (about 8 oz.) for one serving of tacos; refrigerate or freeze the other half for later in the week. Use 3 to 4 taco shells from the box. Warm about half the can of refried beans on the stovetop; store the rest covered in the fridge.
Wednesday
Meal: Pan-Fried Fast Fixin' Chicken Nuggets with Kraft Mac and Cheese and Steamed Carrots
Description: Crispy frozen chicken nuggets are pan-fried until golden and served alongside a creamy bowl of Kraft mac and cheese - the ultimate kid-friendly combo. A handful of steamed baby carrots adds color and a little crunch to the plate.
Sale items used: Fast Fixin' Frozen Chicken Nuggets (22.5-24 oz.) $2.99 each, Kraft Mac & Cheese (11 oz.) $1.49 each, Green Giant Baby Peeled Carrots (1 lb. bag) $0.99 each
Prep time: 15 minutes
Serving note: Heat about 8 to 10 nuggets from the bag for one serving; reseal and freeze the rest for another meal. Prepare the full box of Kraft mac and cheese - it is a single-serve friendly size. Steam about 1 cup of baby carrots (roughly 4 to 5 oz.) from the bag; refrigerate the rest for Thursday and Friday.
Thursday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Sirloin Pork Chops with Skillet Vidalia Onions and Russet Potatoes
Description: A boneless sirloin pork chop is seared in a hot skillet until golden and juicy, then topped with sweet caramelized Vidalia onions that kids will love. Sliced russet potatoes cook in the same pan for a simple, satisfying one-pan dinner.
Sale items used: Fresh Boneless Sirloin Pork Chops (Family Pack) $2.39/lb, Sweet Vidalia Onions $0.99/lb, Best Choice Russet Potatoes (10 lb. bag) already purchased Monday
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 boneless sirloin pork chop, approximately 0.5 lb, at $2.39/lb = $1.20. The family pack will have multiple chops - wrap and freeze the extras individually right after purchase. Use 1 medium russet potato from the bag already at home. Use about 0.25 lb of Vidalia onion (roughly half a small onion).

Sale items used: Carolina Pride Fresh Pork Sausage Rolls (16 oz.) $2.99 each, Eckrich Fully Cooked Smoked Sausage (8.3-14 oz.) $3.79 each, Best Choice Russet Potatoes (10 lb. bag) already purchased Monday, Green Giant Baby Peeled Carrots (1 lb. bag) already purchased Wednesday
