I am trying to do better with using the weekly sales at Publix to do my menu planning. I have decided that I will probably do better at it if I look at it as a way to help others, so here is my menu plan based on this week’s ad, which includes the following sale items:
Proteins:
- Large Shrimp
- Angus Sirloin
- Greenwise Chicken Breast
- Greenwise Chicken Sausage
- Sockeye Salmon
Other Items I’ll use this week from the Publix ad:
- Barilla Pasta (BOGO)
- DelMonte Gold Fresh Pineapple
- Mango
- Organic Strawberries
A couple of notes:
I am going to use the chicken sausage in the jambalaya recipe instead of andouille sausage. With regard to salmon, no matter how much I have researched / read, farm raised salmon is not a healthy choice, no matter what way you cut the cake, so to speak. Therefore, I am sticking with wild salmon from now on. Note that pineapple and mango are considered a safer choice than other options, like strawberries, which is why I am purchasing the pineapple and mango that are grown using conventional methods. (I realize there are still environmental concerns, but you do what you can.)
I am purchasing enough of these sale items to get two meals from each: prep once, eat twice is my motto! The recipes:
- Shrimp Scampi Bucatini
- Herb Grilled Shrimp Skewers with Angel Hair Pasta
- Angus Sirloin (buy enough for 2 meals and freeze one)
- Hickory Grilled Rodeo Chicken
- Jambalaya (prep ahead freezer meal)
- Memphis Grilled Salmon
- Chipotle Salmon (prep ahead and freeze)
I hope this helps your plan for the coming week. Be well – shalom!
