Piggly Wiggly Vegetarian Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week's plan leans on Piggly Wiggly's sale aisle to make vegetarian dinners easy and satisfying, no meat substitutes needed. Eggs anchor two nights, Just Crack An Egg or Oscar Mayer Scramblers show up in Tuesday's fried rice and Friday's tacos, so that one pack works double duty. Beans and cheese carry the rest of the week, from Monday's enchiladas to Thursday's loaded baked potatoes, giving you plenty of protein without a lot of fuss. Wednesday breaks things up with a creamy Rao's Alfredo pasta and peas, a nice midweek treat that's ready in under 30 minutes. Everything here is simple stovetop or oven cooking, so you can get dinner on the table fast every night this week.
