5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Skillet Egg and Mushroom Frittata with Tomatoes on the Vine
Description: A golden, oven-finished frittata packed with sauteed baby bella mushrooms and fresh vine tomatoes makes a satisfying and protein-rich dinner for two. Served with slices of hearty Italian Five Grain Bread, this meal is simple, colorful, and ready in under 30 minutes.

Tuesday
Meal: Smoky Baked Bean and Russet Potato Hash with Fried Eggs
