Add 3 cups of sugar snap peas and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir to coat in oil and salt. Cook, stirring often, until heated through but still tender-crisp, about 4-6 minutes.
Day #4 One Pot Philly Cheesesteak Pasta with Broiled Zucchini	• One Pot Philly Cheesesteak Recipe • Broiled Zucchini Recipe. Make extra to have on Day #5.
Day #5 Kielbasa Burrito Bowl	• Warm up the leftover rice from Day #3. Slice a ring kielbasa into 1/2 inch slices and mix it with 1 and 1/2 cups of sauerkraut. Caraway seeds are a delightful thing to add here! Go with 1/4 teaspoon and see what you think. Heat the kielbasa mixture up in the microwave or brown it all lightly in a skillet on the stovetop. Put the warmed rice into soup bowls. Top with the kielbasa mixture as well as with some sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and leftover chunks of broiled zucchini (warm or cold) from Day #3.
