Meal: Hillshire Farm Smoked Sausage and Mushroom Skillet with Pita Bread

Thursday
Meal: Oven-Roasted Springer Mountain Farms Whole Chicken with Baby Carrots and Russet Potatoes
Description: A whole Springer Mountain Farms chicken is seasoned and slow-roasted until golden and juicy, served with tender baby carrots and russet potato chunks roasted in the same pan for maximum flavor and minimal cleanup. Roasting a whole bird for one person is a smart value move since the leftovers become lunches and future meals throughout the week.
Sale items used: Fresh Whole Chicken Springer Mountain Farms ($1.69/lb), Baby Peeled Carrots 1 lb ($0.99 each), Best Choice Russet Potatoes 5 lb bag (carried over from Monday purchase)
Prep time: 90 minutes (including roasting time)
Serving note: A typical whole chicken weighs about 4 lbs at $1.69/lb for a total of roughly $6.76; roast the full bird since it is the smallest available unit and plan to use leftovers for lunches; use about half the 1 lb bag of baby carrots for this meal; use 2 medium russet potatoes from the bag purchased Monday. Make-ahead note: the chicken needs about 75 minutes in the oven, so start it early and let it rest while you prep the sides.
