Wednesday
Meal: Baked Russet Potatoes Topped with Vietti Chili With Beans, Cottage Cheese, and Sweet Vidalia Onions
Description: One large russet potato is baked until fluffy inside, then loaded with warmed Vietti chili with beans, a generous spoonful of Mayfield cottage cheese, and thinly sliced sweet Vidalia onion. This is a deeply satisfying, protein-packed meal that feels indulgent while staying completely vegetarian.
Sale items used: Best Choice Russet Potatoes (10 lb. bag), Vietti Chili With Beans, Mayfield Cottage Cheese, Sweet Vidalia Onions
Prep time: 55 minutes (45 minutes baking, 10 minutes prep and topping)
Serving note: Use 1 large russet potato from the 10 lb. bag, about half of the 30 oz. can of Vietti chili (save the rest for another use), 3 to 4 tablespoons of cottage cheese, and about 0.2 lb of Vidalia onion sliced thin. Make-ahead tip: bake the potato up to a day ahead and reheat in the microwave for 3 to 4 minutes to cut active time to under 15 minutes on a busy night.

Thursday
Meal: Kraft Mac and Cheese with Roasted Broccoli and Lemon-Dressed Carrots
Description: A box of Kraft Mac and Cheese is prepared and served alongside oven-roasted broccoli florets and tender baby carrots tossed in a bright squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Sale items used: Kraft Mac and Cheese (11 oz.), Broccoli Crowns, Green Giant Baby Peeled Carrots (1 lb. bag), Fresh Lemons (2 lb. bag), Blue Bonnet Margarine Quarters
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Prepare the full box of Kraft Mac and Cheese using margarine in place of butter per package directions - this makes one generous single serving. Use about 0.4 lb of broccoli crowns (roasted at 425 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes) and about 0.5 cup of baby carrots from the 1 lb. bag, dressed with juice from one lemon wedge. The lemon bag and carrot bag will have plenty left over for snacking or other uses.
