Publix Vegetarian Meal Plan

5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Skillet Baked Beans and Sweet Corn over Knorr Rice Side
Description: A hearty one-pan vegetarian bowl built on smoky Bush's baked beans and fresh sweet corn kernels cut from the cob, served over a fluffy Knorr rice side cooked down to a single serving. The beans provide satisfying plant-based protein while the corn adds natural sweetness and a pop of color.
Sale items used: Bush's Best Baked Beans (1 can), Bulk Sweet Corn (2 ears), Knorr Sides (1 pouch, rice variety)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 can of Bush's baked beans (about half the can for the meal, refrigerate the rest for later use), 2 ears of sweet corn with kernels cut off, and half a Knorr rice pouch cooked in a small saucepan; save the remaining rice pouch for Friday.

Check the label: some baked beans are cooked with bacon or pork fat.

Tuesday
Meal: Cheese Tortelloni with Balsamic-Glazed Baby Bella Mushrooms and Baby Spinach
Description: Pillowy Rana cheese tortelloni is tossed with golden sauteed baby bella mushrooms finished in a glossy GreenWise balsamic glaze, then wilted baby spinach is folded in right at the end for a restaurant-quality weeknight dinner. The rich cheese filling pairs beautifully with the earthy mushrooms and tangy balsamic reduction.
Sale items used: Rana Tortelloni (1 pkg), Publix Baby Bella Mushrooms (1 pkg, 8 oz), Fresh Attitude Salads - Baby Spinach (1 pkg, 5 oz), GreenWise Organic Balsamic Vinegar (1 bottle)

Wednesday
Meal: Tillamook Cheese and Broccoli Puff Pastry Tart
Description: A golden, flaky GreenWise puff pastry sheet is trimmed to a single-serving rectangle, topped with shredded Tillamook cheese and tender blanched broccoli florets, then baked until the pastry is puffed and the cheese is bubbling. This elegant tart comes together quickly and makes a satisfying vegetarian main with a simple side salad.
Sale items used: GreenWise Puff Pastry Sheets (1 box), Tillamook Cheese Snacks - Shredded variety (1 pkg, 6 to 8 oz), Broccoli (1 bunch)
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: Use roughly one-quarter of the puff pastry sheet for a single-serving tart (freeze remaining sheets for future use), about 2 oz of shredded Tillamook cheese, and half the broccoli bunch cut into small florets; save the other half of the broccoli for Friday. Total time including baking is about 45 minutes, so preheat the oven early.

Meal: Sauteed Green Beans and Mushroom Scramble on Toasted Sub Rolls
Description: Crisp-tender sauteed green beans and savory baby bella mushrooms are scrambled together with eggs and a layer of melted Tillamook cheese, then piled onto a toasted Publix sub roll for a filling open-faced sandwich.
