Sheet-Pan Dijon Pork Sirloin with Roasted Butternut Squash, Brussels Sprouts & Apples

A cozy, Northwest-winter sheet-pan dinner with crisp-edged pork, sweet-tart apples, and caramelized Brussels sprouts—all done in one oven run. Big flavor, minimal dishes.

Ingredients

  • Kroger® Boneless Natural Fresh Pork Sirloins (about 1 lb) 1 lb $1.99/lb (sale)
  • Organic Butternut Squash 1 lb (about 3 heaping cups, 3/4-in cubes) $1.99/lb
  • Fresh Cut Brussels Sprout Bake (or fresh Brussels sprouts if you prefer) 1 pack (9.2 oz) or 10–12 oz Brussels sprouts, halved $6.00
  • Simple Truth Organic® Fuji apples (bag) or Organic Fuji apple (each) 1 large apple, cored and cut into 8 wedges $4.19/2 lb (bag)
  • Organic Jumbo Yellow Onion 1/2 onion, cut into thick wedges $1.49/lb
  • Simple Truth Organic® Garlic Bulbs 2 cloves, minced $1.99/3 ct
  • Dijon mustard 1 tbsp
  • Apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp
  • Olive oil 2 tbsp
  • Dried thyme (or Herbes de Provence) 1 tsp
  • Smoked paprika 1/2 tsp
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep: Heat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Prep veg: Toss butternut squash and Brussels sprouts (and onion wedges) with 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil, half the garlic, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread out on the pan; keep the center relatively open for the pork.
  3. Season pork: Pat pork dry. Season generously with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix Dijon, vinegar, remaining garlic, and 1/2 tbsp olive oil. Rub over pork.
  4. Roast: Place pork in the open space on the sheet pan. Roast 18–22 minutes.
  5. Add apples: Pull the pan out, scatter apple wedges over the vegetables, and toss lightly in the pan drippings. Return to oven 8–12 minutes, until pork hits 145°F internal and the squash is tender and browned at edges.
  6. Rest + serve: Rest pork 5 minutes, slice, and serve with the roasted squash, Brussels sprouts, onions, and apples. Spoon any pan juices over the top.

Health notes: ~750–900 kcal per serving (depends on oil). Fairly balanced: good protein, fiber from sprouts/apples; moderate sodium if you season aggressively. Add a side salad to lighten.

Drink pairing: Wine: Washington State Riesling (off-dry) from Chateau Ste. Michelle pairs beautifully with pork + apples.

Ginger-Garlic Shrimp Stir-Fry with Bok Choy & Snow Peas (over Rice)

Fast, restauranty stir-fry vibes at home: garlicky-ginger shrimp, snappy bok choy, and sweet snow peas in a glossy soy-lime sauce. Serve over rice (or noodles) for a complete bowl.

Ingredients

  • Kroger® Large Raw Shrimp Peeled & Deveined Tail Off (12 oz) 12 oz $7.00 (sale)
  • Organic Ginger Root 1 tbsp, finely grated $3.99/lb
  • Simple Truth Organic® Garlic Bulbs 3 cloves, minced $1.99/3 ct
  • Organic Baby Bok Choy 3/4–1 lb, sliced (separate stems and leaves) $2.99/lb
  • Kroger® Brand Snow Peas 8 oz, strings removed $3.49
  • Neutral oil (avocado/canola) 1 1/2 tbsp
  • Soy sauce 3 tbsp
  • Lime (or lemon) 1, juiced (about 2 tbsp)
  • Honey or brown sugar 1–2 tsp
  • Cornstarch 1 tsp
  • Water 1/4 cup
  • Cooked rice (or noodles) 2 cups cooked rice (about 1 cup per person)
  • Optional: chili flakes or sriracha to taste
  • Optional garnish: chopped cilantro a small handful

Instructions

  1. Prep: Pat shrimp very dry and lightly season with salt and pepper. Slice bok choy; keep stems separate from leaves. Mix sauce: soy sauce + lime juice + honey + cornstarch + water.
  2. Sear shrimp (stove): Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high. Add 1 tbsp oil. Sear shrimp in a single layer 60–90 seconds per side until just pink; transfer to a plate.
  3. Stir-fry veg: Add remaining 1/2 tbsp oil. Add ginger and garlic; stir 15 seconds. Add bok choy stems and snow peas; stir-fry 2–3 minutes until bright and crisp-tender.
  4. Finish: Add bok choy leaves and the sauce; cook 60–90 seconds until leaves wilt and sauce turns glossy. Return shrimp to pan and toss just to heat through (30–60 seconds).
  5. Serve: Spoon over hot rice (or noodles). Add chili to taste and garnish with cilantro if you’ve got it.

Health notes: ~550–700 kcal per serving with 1 cup cooked rice. Lean protein + lots of veg; watch sodium (use low-sodium soy sauce if possible).

Drink pairing: Beer: a crisp pilsner or Kölsch (try a WA craft if you have it). Wine: Washington Sauvignon Blanc.

Cumin-Spiced Lamb Burgers with Beet-Cabbage Slaw & Dill Yogurt

Quick, juicy lamb burgers with a wintery twist—earthy beet “slaw” and cool dill yogurt. Feels special, but it’s weeknight-easy on the stove (or grill).

Ingredients

  • Simple Truth® Natural Ground Lamb 1 lb $9.49 (sale)
  • Love Beets™ Cooked and Peeled Beets 1 pack (8.8 oz), grated or julienned $3.49
  • Simple Truth Organic® Baby Dill 2 tbsp chopped (plus more for garnish if desired) $2.49
  • Organic Cucumber 1/2 cucumber, grated and squeezed dry (or finely diced) $1.69
  • Plain Greek yogurt 1/2 cup
  • Lemon (or vinegar) 1–2 tbsp juice (or 1 tbsp vinegar)

  • Organic Jumbo Red Onion 1/4 onion, thinly sliced $1.59/lb
  • Olive oil 1 tbsp
  • Ground cumin 1 tsp
  • Smoked paprika (or black pepper) 1/2 tsp
  • Salt to taste
  • Burger buns 2 buns
  • Optional: lettuce (butter lettuce) a few leaves $3.99 (if using Simple Truth Organic® Butter Lettuce)

Instructions

  1. Prep: Make dill yogurt—mix yogurt, grated cucumber, chopped dill, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Refrigerate while you cook.
  2. Prep slaw: Toss cabbage + red onion + beets with olive oil, a squeeze of lemon (or splash of vinegar), and salt to taste. Let it sit to soften slightly.
  3. Make patties: In a bowl, gently mix ground lamb with cumin, smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, and pepper. Form into 2 patties about 3/4-inch thick; press a small dimple in the center of each.
  4. Cook (stove or grill): Heat a skillet over medium-high (or preheat grill). Cook burgers 4–5 minutes per side for medium (aim ~160°F for ground lamb). Rest 3 minutes.
  5. Toast buns: Quick-toast buns cut-side down in the skillet (30–60 seconds).
  6. Assemble: Bun + optional lettuce + lamb patty + big pile of beet slaw + dollop of dill yogurt. Serve extra slaw on the side.

Health notes: ~750–950 kcal per serving depending on bun size and yogurt amount. High protein; beets add fiber/micronutrients; choose whole-grain buns and go lighter on oil for a healthier plate.

Drink pairing: Wine: Washington Syrah (or a GSM blend) works great with lamb. Beer: amber ale.
