Publix Vegetarian Meal Plan

BUDGET RATIONALE

Why these meals: This week's plan leans on eggs and cheese to keep things simple and satisfying, with Pete & Gerry's Organic Eggs anchoring both your Monday baked egg skillet and Thursday's Brussels sprouts fried rice. You'll get good use out of pantry-friendly veggies too, since Publix Yellow Onions show up in three different dinners, from the Monday skillet to Wednesday's naan wraps and Thursday's fried rice. Tuesday brings a cozy pasta night with roasted broccoli and fall hard squash tossed in GreenWise Organic Pasta Sauce, while Wednesday keeps things fun and handheld with Stonefire Naan Flatbread stuffed with cheese crumbles and veggies alongside a Publix Salad Kit. Friday wraps up the week with a hearty green bean and potato skillet topped with melted Sargento Cheese Slices, a satisfying way to close out the plan. Each night is built around fresh produce and sale-priced staples, so you're getting variety without much fuss at the register.
