Tuesday
Meal: Sausage and Pasta Marinara with Green Beans

Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use about 2 to 3 oz of sausage (roughly one-quarter of the 16 oz package - freeze the rest in portions for future meals); cook about 2 oz dry pasta (roughly one-quarter of the box); use half a jar of Prego sauce and refrigerate the rest; open one 14.5 oz can of Green Giant green beans and serve half, refrigerate the rest.
Wednesday
Meal: Smithfield Marinated Pork Loin Fillet Baked with Corn and Crescent Rolls
Description: A portion of Smithfield's pre-marinated pork loin fillet bakes up tender and flavorful with almost no prep needed - the marinade does all the work. Warm crescent rolls and sweet corn on the side make this a fun, satisfying meal kids will ask for again.
Sale items used: Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork Tenderloins, Picnics or Loin Fillets ($4.99 each), McKenzie's Corn (2/$4.00), Pilsbury Grands, Crescents or Cinnamon Rolls (2/$5.00)
Prep time: 10 minutes active, 25 to 30 minutes bake time
Serving note: Slice off approximately 6 oz of the pork loin fillet for one serving and refrigerate or freeze the remainder for another meal. Use half a bag of McKenzie's corn (about 10 oz) and bake 2 crescent rolls from the can - refrigerate the remaining dough tightly sealed for up to 2 more days. Total cook time is about 40 minutes; start the pork first, then add rolls in the last 12 minutes.

Friday
Meal: Pan-Fried Sea Best Swai Fillets with Frozen Potato Fries and Corn
