Food City Dairy-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week's plan leans on Food City's sale meat counter to keep things simple and dairy-free from Monday through Friday. Pork takes center stage twice, first as a Monday herb-roasted loin with potatoes and onions, then again Thursday as quick pan-seared chops with asparagus grillers. In between, Tuesday's chicken fajita skillet and Wednesday's taco-spiced stuffed peppers both put those green bell peppers to good use in totally different ways, so nothing feels repetitive even though you're buying in bulk. Friday wraps things up with a well-earned splurge, a grilled top sirloin steak served alongside a crisp cucumber salad. Every recipe here was chosen to match what's actually on sale this week, so your cart stays focused and your dinners stay dairy-free without any special substitutions needed.
