5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Oven-Baked Fryer Leg Quarters with Mashed Potatoes and Garden Salad
Description: One crispy, juicy baked leg quarter is served with creamy mashed potatoes made from one big potato. A small bowl of garden salad on the side adds a fresh crunch.
Sale items used: Fresh Fryer Leg Quarters, Green Giant Idaho Potatoes, Dole Garden Salad
Prep time: 55 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 leg quarter (assumed 0.75 lb total), 1 large potato (about 0.5 lb), and 1 bag of salad (use about a third and save the rest for later). Bake at 400 F for 40-45 minutes while you boil and mash the potato with a splash of milk and butter. Total time is under about an hour, so no make-ahead is needed.

Sale items used: Bar-S Franks, Green Giant Idaho Potatoes, Red or Green Seedless Grapes
Prep time: 40 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 hot dogs from one pack (assumed 8 per pack, so leftovers can be frozen), 1 large potato (about 0.5 lb) cut into wedges, and about 0.25 lb of grapes. Bake the wedges at 425 F for 25-30 minutes, then heat the hot dogs in a pan for 5 minutes. Buns are a pantry staple.

Serving note: Use about 0.5 lb of ribs (1 or 2 pieces), 1 rice pouch, and about 1 cup of vegetables. Bake the ribs covered at 350 F for 60 minutes, brushing with a little ketchup and brown sugar at the end. Total time is over an hour, so season the ribs the night before or in the morning, and cook the rice and vegetables in the last 10 minutes.
