5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Oven-Baked Fryer Leg Quarters with Mashed Potatoes and Garden Salad
Description: Two crispy, mildly seasoned leg quarters roast until golden and juicy, served with creamy homemade mashed potatoes. A crunchy bagged garden salad on the side keeps prep easy and familiar.
Sale items used: Fresh Fryer Leg Quarters, Green Giant Idaho Potatoes, Dole Garden Salad
Prep time: 65 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 leg quarters (assumed about 1.5 lb total) and 4 medium potatoes (about 1.5 lb) from the 10 lb bag. Use 1 bag of Dole Garden Salad (buy the 2 for $3.00 deal; the second bag can be used for another day). Bake at 425 F for about 45 minutes while you boil and mash the potatoes with butter and milk. Total time is over 60 minutes, so start the chicken first and prep the potatoes while it bakes.

Prep time: 40 minutes
Serving note: Use 4 hot dogs (2 per person, 1 pack of franks) and 4 buns from home. Cut 3 medium potatoes (about 1 lb) from the 10 lb bag into wedges, toss with oil and salt, and bake at 425 F for 30 minutes. Serve with 1 lb of grapes (assumed total weight 1 lb).
