Hotter deals for warmer days! We have 3 meals for this week’s value plan adventure and hope to make your evenings easier and keep your kitchen cool. Let’s take a look at this week’s delicious trio!
3 lbs. (Buy 1.5 lb. get 1.5 lb. FREE) Market 32 Hand Trimmed Fat Free Chicken Breasts, Cutlets, or Tenders
1 pack Cappiello Mozzarella Cheese (Buy one get one FREE)
1 container Market 32 Vine Ripe Tomatoes
1 pack Market 32 Sub Rolls 6 pk
1 package Market 32 Basil
1 pack Market 32 Refrigerated Pizza Dough
1 bottle (Buy one get one FREE) Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce (Mix & Match with Ken’s Dressing)
1 bottle (Buy one get one FREE) Ken’s Caesar Dressing (Mix & Match with Sweet Baby Ray’s)
1 bag Romaine Lettuce
1 pack PICS Flour Tortillas
Meal 1: Chicken Caprese Sandwiches
Nothing beats a delicious caprese sandwich on a warm summer day!
Essentials: Grill or slow cooker; bread knife, cutting boards, meat thermometer, two large or dinner forks for shredding.
Wash tomatoes and basil and allow to dry on a paper towel. Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds, and remove basil leaves from the stems. Set in place where you will assemble the sandwiches.
Slice 4 Market 32 Bakery Sub Rolls in half. (Tip – consider toasting, especially if you are grilling the chicken.)
Prep 1 – Oftentimes, restaurants will make this wonderful sandwich with a thin chicken cutlet, quick-grilled to juicy perfection and topped with the signature fresh mozzarella, tomato and basil that defines the Caprese combo. If you decide to grill the chicken, consider a quick brining, and cook all 3 pounds at the same time. Use the meat thermometer to keep an eye on the temperature, getting the chicken off the grill as soon as it hits about 160 degrees F, (measured in the center of the thickest part of the cutlet or tender) and wrap in clean foil/rest (off the grill) for about 5 more minutes, to finish cooking and reabsorb juices. Check the temperature again when you unwrap the foil, to be sure it is 165 degrees, recommended for food safety. Place the grilled cutlet on the sliced roll, and layer on the tomato, basil, and sliced mozzarella. The remaining chicken can be stored in a container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Prep 2 – Another way to keep the kitchen cool is to cook all the chicken with a cup of water or low sodium chicken broth in the slow cooker (about 4 hours on low, or when it reaches 165 degrees), then shred and divide it for use in each of these recipes. Hack – use two large forks to shred the chicken in the slow cooker with the cooking juices, or in a flat-bottomed bowl. The shredded chicken can be used for the Caprese sandwich warm or cold. The tender shredded chicken will make it easier to enjoy the sandwich and keep it together for a flavor-full, easy clean up meal. It will also make the other two meals quick and easy!

Meal 2: BBQ Chicken Pizza
Take your pizza to a whole other level with this BBQ Chicken Pizza recipe!
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Essentials: Pizza pan, stone or baking sheet, pizza slicer. Optional – cutting board, grater or chef knife, large spatula or pizza peel.
Pantry: PICS Olive Oil, optional apple and/or red or sweet onion.
Food safety tip – Use cooked/leftover chicken only – do not use raw chicken for the topping.
Defrost the pizza dough, if needed, in the refrigerator overnight, then allow it to come to room temperature. It may rise slightly. Use a lightly oiled metal pizza pan, sheet pan or pizza stone, and stretch the dough to fit to the rim of whatever you choose. First-time pizza makers, check this out for dough-licious skill building! Check out this article on Steps to Strecthing Pizza Dough.
Slather a generous amount of Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce on the dough (start with ¾ cup and add more as needed) and top with shredded chicken. Tip – up the flavor and nutrition of this meal with some grated red onion and/or thin-sliced fresh apples! Top with rounds of fresh Capiello Mozzarella slices. Hack – for thicker crust, pre-bake the dough for about 6 minutes before adding sauce and toppings. Food safety tip – do not use raw chicken for the topping. Cook for about 15 minutes, until dough edges are a rich brown and the mozzarella is melted and bubbling on top.
1.5 lbs. Market 32 Hand Trimmed Fat Free Chicken Breasts, Cutlets, or Tenders

Meal 3: Chicken Caesar Wraps
If you like chicken caesar salads, then you are sure to LOVE this wrap!
Essentials: Salad spinner, medium-sized mixing bowl, cutting board, serrated knife, ¾ cup measure, large mixing spoon or spatula.
Pantry: Optional, fresh grated or shredded Market 32 Parmesan.
Wash romaine lettuce, at least 2 large leaves per wrap. Use a salad spinner to dry it so the flour tortilla wrap doesn’t get soggy. Chop the lettuce as you like – about 1-inch sized pieces makes it easy to enjoy.
Place shredded chicken in a bowl and add a generous amount of Ken’s Ceasar Dressing (3/4 cup to start, then add more to taste if needed.)
Add the lettuce to the chicken mixture and toss lightly. Place a flour tortilla on each plate and spoon out even servings down the middle of the wrap. Sprinkle fresh Parmesan on the mixture to taste. Roll the filling in the tortilla and fold in the ends to secure.
Enjoy!

June is National Dairy Month, and we have a lot of delicious and nutritious ways to celebrate with you all month long! As a registered dietitian-nutritionist, and a dairy lover, I am very sure dairy is the real deal – wholesome, versatile and a culinary champion used in an amazing variety of foods and recipes. To kick off this celebration, we have some great smoothie recipes to share! They are the perfect way to pack the benefits of Real Dairy into an easy-to-enjoy treat!
Fueling up with the full package of 13 nutrients milk adds to your glass is a great way to honor the hard work of the farmers that ensure it is available to you and your family every day. Those nutrients include calcium, phosphorous and B vitamins, which support bone strength and energy metabolism. Milk is a good source of high-quality protein, and contains Vitamin A, Vitamin D, and zinc. Together they help build immunity, support healing, and help grow and protect muscles. Traditional and Greek yogurt are made with live cultures and contain some probiotics, which improve gut health. So many benefits!
Greek yogurt is thick and creamy, its satisfying texture delivered by straining some of the liquid whey, resulting in higher protein content and lower lactose and calcium. You can use milk and Greek yogurt in your Real Dairy Smoothie, and change the recipe amounts to taste if you like!
We celebrate throughout National Dairy Month – add these ideas to your calendar and join in the fun all month long!
June 1 – World Milk Day – Lift your Glass!
June 4th – Cheese Day
June 7th – Choc Ice Cream Day
June 14th – Strawberry Shortcake Day
June 20th – Milkshake Day
June 20th – Ice Cream Soda Day

Grilling days are on the menu! We have some ideas you and your family will love, while you are loving eating more meals with your family. Warmer days also mean grilling outside can keep inside cool and comfortable.
Let’s check out this week’s meal planning items.
Sausage & Peppers:
1 pack Market 32 Sweet or Hot Italian Sausage
1 bag Mini Peppers
1 bag (2lbs.) Sweet Vidalia Onions
1 pack PICS Hotdog Buns
1 container Market 32 Deli Salads (Buy one get one FREE)
Shop for Sausage & Peppers here!
Meal 1: Sausage & Peppers
Sausage and Peppers is a versatile meal that can be prepped and cooked in different ways. Check out these hacks and tips!
Essentials:
2 clean cutting boards
1 Chef Knife
BBQ grill skillet or BBQ grill sheet
Pantry:
PICS Olive Oil or PICS Vegetable Oil Spray
Grill the sweet or hot Market 32 Italian Sausage on the grill, and sizzle colorful mini peppers sliced into strips, and sweet Vidalia onions sliced in whole, thin rings in a grill-friendly pan with some PICS Olive Oil (in the seasonal and grilling displays in the store!). The sausage, topped with sizzled peppers and onions, fits perfectly on a PICS Hot Dog Bun, with the fresh Market 32 Deli Pasta Salad rounding out your plate!
Try our these Sausage & Pepper Kabobs!
Essentials:
Good Cook Bamboo Skewers
Simply Done Napkins
Meat thermometer
BBQ corn holders
Measuring cups
TBSP measure
Tongs
Good Cook basting brushes
Pantry:
PICS Vegetable Oil Spray
PICS Sugar
PICS Kosher Salt
Accent seasoning
PICS White Vinegar
PICS Unsalted Butter
Soak skewers in water for 15 minutes while you prep the sausage and veggies. Slice each sausage into 3 pieces. Slice the mini peppers into two halves and the Vidalia onion into chunks. Thread the veggies on the skewers with a pepper half on each side of the chunk of onion and on each side of the piece of sausage. Grill on low, turning to ensure the sausage and vegetables cook through. Serve the kabob in PICS Hot Dog Bun, and remove the skewer, leaving the sausage and vegetables on the bun.
Meal 2: Finger-Licking Good Grilled Chicken Drumsticks, Sweet Corn, and Market 32 Potato Salad
This meal is a breeze and sure to please! Almost no prep and easy clean up – everything cooks on the grill, making it the summer version of a “1-pan” meal.
Hack – Soak corn in 3 cups cool water with a dash of salt and tsp of sugar for about 10 minutes. This helps the kernels stay tender while you grill them up. Brining the chicken legs ensures they are moist and juicy – see the recipe for that here:
Light sodium brine: for 12 – 18 chicken drumsticks.
10 cups water
¼ cup PICS sugar
¼ cup PICS White Vinegar
2 TBSP Accent + 1 TBSP Kosher Salt OR 3 TBSP Kosher Salt
Place brine in a large pot or container. Add the chicken drumsticks, move the pot to the refrigerator and allow to soak for about 20 minutes. When ready to cook, remove from the pot and shake to remove excess brine. Discard the used brine. Place chicken in a foil tray or platter to transport to the grill, and set up a clean platter for the cooked chicken and corn.
A quick spray of PICS Vegetable Oil on the chicken legs and the corn will minimize food sticking to the hot grill.
Cook the chicken over a medium hot fire, turning every few minutes to brown evenly and cook to internal temperature of 165 degrees. The corn and chicken are well-matched for the grill – both will take about 20 minutes to cook. Corn will gradually caramelize, lightly browning. Consider using separate tongs. At the 15 -minute mark, brush on the Sweet Baby Rays Hot Sauce for the adventurous eaters in your family! Turn the chicken legs one more time to caramelize the sauce. Serve with Market 32 Potato Salad, and a pile of Simply Done Napkins!

Meal 1: Mediterranean Tomato and Scallop Cobbler
This veggie-forward skillet bake brings the flavors of the Mediterranean together in one pan for a savory, satisfying casserole with a comfort food twist.
Essentials:
Chef knife
Cutting board OR food processor
Large oven-safe skillet (not cast iron)
Can opener
Wooden spoon
Small bowl
TBSP and TSP measure
Pantry:
1-2 TBSP chopped fresh thyme, or, 2 – 3 TBSP dried thyme;
3 – 5 TBSP unsalted butter, (olive oil can be used to replace some or all the butter in the casserole, but not on the biscuits.)
1 – 2 TBSP chopped fresh or dried garlic
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
1 TSP brown sugar, packed;
2 TSP whole grain mustard
Wash grape tomatoes and allow them to dry on a clean towel. They can be sliced in half or whole for this dish.
Note – M32 Faroe Islands Bay Scallops can be added frozen or defrosted in the refrigerator overnight and drained before adding to the cobbler.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt 2 TBSP butter in the small bowl and combine with the 2 tsp whole grain mustard. Set aside
Chop 1 medium onion. Open can of PICS Italian Seasoned Diced Canned Tomatoes
Place skillet on the stovetop and add 1-2 TBSP butter or olive oil. When oil is warm, add onion and sauté for several minutes. Add garlic and 1 TBSP of fresh thyme, or 1.5 TBSP dried thyme. Simmer on low and stir occasionally for about 1 minute, until onion is lightly browned.
Add grape tomatoes and stir, allowing them to soften for 2-3 minutes. Add canned tomatoes, stirring to combine. Allow some of the liquid to cook off to concentrate flavors. Open the PICS Biscuits container.
Add the brown sugar and stir to combine.
If defrosted, drain the bag of M32 Bay Scallops, then spoon them into the tomato mixture in the skillet.
Top the tomato and scallop mixture with the PICS Biscuits. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the butter- mustard mix, and sprinkle remaining thyme on top of them.
Place the skillet in the oven, following the cooking directions for the biscuits, approximately 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are a golden brown. Remove the skillet from the oven and serve the cobbler with a fresh salad side. A Dole Chopped Salad or Ceasar would add complementary crunchy texture and flavor to this easy Mediterranean meal!

Meal 2: Chicken Fajita Pasta
This is a true one pot meal, with a magic milk and cheese hack that will bring everyone to the table.
Essentials:
5 Cups PICS Milk
Large 4 – 6-quart saucepan (pasta pot)
Chef knife and cutting board
Wooden spoon
Tongs
Pantry:
PICS Olive or Vegetable Oil
Place 2-3 TBSP oil in the saucepan, and heat on high. Carefully place the sliced chicken pieces in the pot and sauté until done. Remove from the pot and keep warm on a plate.
Place 1 TBSP oil in the saucepan, and add the frozen peppers and onions, stirring until they are cooked and lightly browned. Turn the heat down to medium.
Place 4 cups of PICS Pasta (we like penne, gemelli or shells for this meal) into the pot with the vegetables, add the 5 cups of milk, and Fajita seasoning package. Bring the milk to a simmer. As the pasta cooks, the sauce becomes creamy. Add the cup of cheese and cooked fajita chicken to the pot and combine with the rest of the ingredients. Serve it up and enjoy!

“The phrase ’working mother’ is redundant.” — Jane Sellman
Being a mother is an exquisitely wonderful and enormously challenging family role. There is a quote on a meme somewhere that frames the unending efforts Moms put into their children’s lives as akin to being an air traffic controller – always working to set the best course for each child, for present and future and every day in between. They organize and plan like the CEOs of major companies but can pivot and reprioritize in the moment when their children need them. We see you, Mom, and we value you for all your efforts to nourish our growth, wellbeing, and success throughout our lives. For all these reasons and more, we want to be sure we can help your family show you how much they value all your efforts with some special meals for this most special day.
Our team worked hard bringing these ideas together, knowing our “value treatment” includes ensuring your family can make these meals taste and look wonderful. Check out the plan and tips that bring it all together and can be done by experienced and not-very experienced cooks. We hope you and your family enjoy these special treats and that your entire Mother’s Day is filled with delicious food, hugs, and smiles. Let’s check out what we have planned for you!
Eggs Benedict:
1 pack Thomas English Muffins
1/2 lb. Market 32 Off the Bone Ham
1 container PICS Hollandaise Sauce
18 pack PICS Eggs
Shop for Eggs Benedict here!
Surf & Turf
1 1/2 lbs. Butcher’s Promise Top Sirloin Steak
1 lb. Market 32 Farm Raised Raw Shrimp
1 package Pero Farms Green Beans

Meal 1: Eggs Benedict
Starting Mom’s Day in a very special way!
Eggs Benedict is a “big deal” meal for many, a classic brunch beauty that is saved for special days and savored for how it transforms humble ingredients into a culinary celebration. Our step-by-step recipe makes it easy to bring it home without having to bring the chef!
The key to success is preparation: the muffin, ham and extras like fresh fruit are done first, then the sauce, and finally the eggs. We have laid it out here to ensure you can whisk it right to Mom while warm and wonderful!
Essentials:
At least two sturdy, microwave safe coffee mugs (one clean cup per each egg cooked)
1 medium sauté pan (optional if you will sauté the Market32 ham before assembling the egg, muffin and sauce)
1 small saucepan
1 small whisk or a spoon to stir and serve the PICS Hollandaise sauce,
Measuring cups
Slotted spoon (that will fit into the mugs to remove the poached eggs)
Small plate or Simply Done plastic wrap,
Oven safe plate
Simply Done Aluminum Foil
Butter knife
Tablespoon
Pantry:
PICS Vegetable Oil Spray
Butter (room temperature for easy spreading)
Ready…..
Preheat oven to the lowest setting, “Warm” or 200 degrees F.
Make the coffee or set up the mimosa bar. Set up the number of serving plates needed for your family near the stove or cooking area. If you are serving fresh fruit with the Eggs Benedict, portion that out on the plates.
Split the English Muffins and set them by the toaster. Each person should have both halves of the muffin as the base and will have a poached egg on each one. Smaller children may only need one half.
Place eggs by the microwave, with the mugs. Measure ½ -3/4 cup of water and place in each mug.
Set…..
Place Market 32 Off the Bone ham slices on a plate. Cut each slice in half – this ensures you can fit the ham on the muffin and its a flat surface that will keep the egg in place. Optional prep: Spray the sauté pan with PICS Vegetable Spray, set on low heat on a burner. Briefly brown the ham slices to warm and add flavor. You can hold the ham and toasted, buttered muffins on the oven-safe plate in the oven while cooking the other ingredients.
Start toasting the English muffins. Older children can help and can butter them when ready. Place the toasted, buttered muffins next to the ham on the plate in the oven. Cover the plate lightly with foil. They can also set up the mugs with the ¾ cup of water near the microwave. Younger children can put napkins on the table. Move the plates for the finished muffins to the other side of the microwave.
Go! Crunch time! You cook the sauce and poach the eggs at the same time. Mom should be at the table, (perhaps escorted there by your helpers) with her beverage, enjoying the show (and the knowledge that she isn’t cleaning up either. 😊)
Hollandaise sauce – follow directions on the package for the PICS Hollandaise Sauce, whisking in the small saucepan. When it is almost done, take the plate with warm ham and muffins out, and set near the stove so you can poach eggs and assemble the Eggs Benedict quickly and easily.
Microwave poached eggs – super easy, and easy clean up!
These steps are quick – have each plate ready with the warm muffin and ham set up and ready to place each poached egg and two tablespoons of sauce.
Place one microwave-safe coffee mug with water in the microwave. Microwave the mug/water on high for 45 seconds. Water should be steaming but not boiling. Crack the egg into the hot water. Place a small clean plate on the mug (or cover with cling wrap). Return to the microwave and cook for 45 seconds. Due to the different levels of power in microwaves, plan on experimenting with the first egg. SAFETY TIP – sometimes eggs explode when the plate or wrap are removed – keep your face away from the top of the cup during this step for each egg. Children may want to “see”; consider having them already at the table, or waiting at the kitchen door to ensure you can prep and finish safely. Check the egg for desired doneness – whites should be completely cooked, and the yolk should be tender and gooey. If it is not quite ready, return the mug to the microwave for 10 seconds, and/or leave the plate on the cup for 10 more seconds. Use the slotted spoon to lift the eggs out and drain the water at the same time. Place the poached egg on the ham, and top with warm Hollandaise. So special! Enjoy!
Meal 2: Surf & Turf
Surf and Turf – a great way to end a special day!
This fantastic dinner is simple but delivers all the special you want to put into Mom’s day. The top sirloin steak on sale can be subbed for the ribeye in this recipe, with a couple of tips to ensure it is tender and awesome! Marinate with Italian dressing, and broil to seal in the juices and tenderness. Slice it thin and consider topping with some garlic butter for an unctuous extra touch. Prepare the fresh green beans in a shallow, wide saucepan – steam or boil until they are tender, and top with butter for a wonderful side. The parmesan Market 32 shrimp are the crowning glory for this amazing entrée!
Check out our Ribeye Steak with Parmesean Shrimp!
Extra! Extra!
Dressed up Dessert – Market 32 Cheesecake slices with berries/sliced fresh fruit, or the Market 32 Fresh Chocolate Dipped fruit are both winners for a great family meal honoring that most important guest. Check out our cheesecakes here!
Happy Mother’s Day!

Meal 1: Breakfast for Dinner – Market 32 Panko Chicken and Waffles (or pancakes!)
Essentials:
Waffle maker/iron
Large bowl
Measuring cups
Spatula
Oven-safe bowl or casserole dish
Large skillet
Chef knife
Serrated knife
Tongs
Pantry:
PICS Maple Syrup
PICS Vegetable Oil Spray
PICS Vegetable Oil
Water or milk per waffle mix directions
Egg
Preheat oven to Warm.
Wash strawberries under cool running water, allowing them to dry on a towel. For older children and adults, that may be all the prep needed; cut green tops off and slice into smaller pieces for smaller children.
Follow directions on the package to prepare the Krusteaz waffle batter. You will need 1 egg and vegetable oil (waffle batter recipe is on the package). The Buttermilk flavor is the most authentic for this fun meal. If using a waffle maker, be sure to follow appliance and recipe directions. Tip – spray PICS Vegetable Oil on both sides of the waffle maker between each waffle/serving and use tongs to ensure hot waffles can be safely and easily removed from the waffle grid. Place waffles in the bowl or casserole dish as each serving is done to keep warm. They will take a few minutes each round to cook; estimate 2 waffles per person. Hack – No waffle maker? No problem! Pancakes are a great substitute, or you could use PICS Frozen Buttermilk Waffles for a very quick fix!
While waffles are cooking, spray the large skillet and allow to warm. Place the panko chicken cutlets in the skillet and allow to cook for about 4- 5 minutes per side. Panko should be brown and may be slightly crunchy. Check internal temperature with an instant read thermometer, 165 degrees is done.
Set up 4 plates for serving. Slice chicken cutlets into 4-5 pieces. Place 1-2 waffles or pancakes on the plate and top with a pat of butter. Top the waffles with the Market 32 Panko Chicken cutlets. Drizzle PICS Maple Syrup on the chicken and waffles. Add strawberries and serve to some very happy people! Oh, and we can’t forget to mention that there is an eCoupon for strawberries this week! Be sure to clip the eCoupon here.
Meal 2: Lemon Garlic Panko Chicken & Pasta
This spring fling dinner is full of flavor! Minimal preparation keeps time on your side, while the fragrant lemon and garlic aromas bring everyone to the table. You can go big on with either flavor by juicing and zesting the lemon, and/or doubling up on the garlic.
Essentials:
Large saucepan
Colander
Tongs
Large skillet
Zester or grater
Citrus press/juicer
Small paring or chef knife
Pantry:
PICS Olive Oil
1 (10 oz.) Bag PICS Frozen Chopper or Leaf Spinach
3 fresh garlic cloves or 3 TBSP jarred minced garlic
1 cup unsalted chicken stock or broth
Fill the large saucepan with water and follow directions on the PICS Pasta box to prepare. Angel Hair, Farfalle or Spirals are great for this recipe. When the pasta is simmering, add the frozen spinach.
Place the skillet on the stove and add 2 TBSP PICS Olive Oil. Allow oil to warm gently and when shimmering, add 1 diced clove of garlic. Allow the garlic to cook and flavor the oil. Note – Garlic burns easily. Cook the minced garlic for a few minutes and scoop out the bits and discard as they brown. Turn the heat down slightly, add the chicken cutlets, the juice from ½ of the lemon, 1 clove minced garlic, and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until done, internal temperature at 165 degrees.
The pasta should be cooked just before the chicken is finished. Drain the pasta and return to the saucepan. Once chicken is done, remove to a plate, and add the chicken stock, remaining garlic, remaining juice from the other lemon half, and lemon zest to the skillet. Scrape the bottom of the pan, and stir while warming.
Plate each chicken breast and divide the pasta and spinach evenly between each plate. Top with 1-2 TBSP of lemon-garlic sauce, and fresh parsley or a sprinkle of Market 32 Parmesan Cheese. Enjoy!
