Use It!: 5 day Meal Plan for 6/16-6/22

So this is our first kick off to help encourage you to take advantage of the current sale ads.  We hope you enjoy.  We have the 5 meals with a listing of where a majority of the ingredients are on sale, underneath the listing is the recipes.
Now understand.  We are mostly giving you ideas.  Yes, it looks like an entire meal plan, but some things you just have to insert yourself.  Like, just add a veggie, you know what you have and what you like, so just add it in.  Next, these recipes are based on serving 4 people, so do the math to figure out how much you need to feed your crew.  Last, we are just keeping it interesting.  We do not want to post a detailed recipe, we just don’t have time to cook something like that. 
Note:  WD is Winn Dixie. WAGS is Walgreens  What is listed is just the sales.  Many of these items, besides the meat, will have coupons.  Please check the coupon Match ups.

The recipes!
I have not tried all the recipes.  Some I gathered a while back and already used, while, others I have just recently found and am waiting to try them.

Meal 1: This recipe is taken from Rick Bayless’s cookbook Everyday Mexican, you can check it out at the Mid-County Library.  The Cutting was a little tricky, but with some elbow grease and no fear of breaking bones, you will be fine.   This will serve about 4.

Meal 2:  This is a recipe just a basic crock pot rib recipe, as written it serves 4.  We had a lot of great sales recently on BBQ sauce.  The potatoes are crazy good.  Now just add a great veggie and dinner is done.

Meal 3: This recipe is direct from http://www.controllingmychaos.com/.  You need to head over to her site to get the recipe card.  Jill does a wonderful job with her recipes and I have a hardcopy of everyone of hers in my personal recipe box. 
A nice part about this recipe, we can finally use some mustard that we got an awesome deal on! I will be adding a rice or couscous side with a mixed vegetable.   You can also serve with with steamed red potatoes.
Meal 4: This recipe is actually from the Mama Mancini website.  I would probably use any left over rice meal 3.  Also, I would use the best deal on peppers, so if the price is right I might go with a bell pepper instead.  This should be a nice little cheat night for dinner with a big impact.  To me a stuffed pepper covers the basics of meat, starch and veggie, so I consider it a complete meal.

Meal 5:  So I found this pork chop recipe on the ALL YOU site.  I am going to skip out on the cream and just use milk, because I don’t want to buy cream just for this recipe.

Dessert!:  You can always skip out on the frosting recipe and just buy it made, but I truly believe it is better from scratch and cheaper.  This cake is super easy and everyone will think might be the new Martha Stewart when they try it.
