Giant Dairy-Free Meal Plan

5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Whole Fresh Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Carrots
Description: A lean, boneless pork tenderloin is seared in a hot skillet until golden, then finished in the oven alongside cubed sweet potatoes and baby-cut carrots for a hearty, satisfying dinner for two. The natural sweetness of the roasted vegetables pairs beautifully with the savory pork, making this a complete one-pan meal with minimal cleanup.
Sale items used: Whole Fresh Pork Tenderloin Giant Boneless ($4.99/lb), Sweet Potatoes ($0.79/lb), Giant Peeled Baby-Cut Carrots ($0.99 each)
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 45 minutes total
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of pork tenderloin for 2 people (estimated cost $4.99 for 1 lb); use about 0.75 lb sweet potatoes and 1 bag of baby-cut carrots. Since total cook time runs close to 60 minutes, slice the sweet potatoes and carrots ahead of time so everything goes into the oven together without delay.

Tuesday
Meal: Skillet Fresh Dinner Sausage with DeCecco Pasta and Rao's Pasta Sauce
Description: Sliced fresh dinner sausage is browned in a skillet, then tossed with al dente DeCecco pasta and a rich Rao's tomato pasta sauce for a quick, satisfying weeknight dinner for two. This simple skillet meal comes together in under 30 minutes and is completely dairy-free as written.
Sale items used: Fresh Dinner Sausage Giant ($2.99/lb), DeCecco Pasta ($0.99), Rao's Pasta Sauce ($2.99)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 0.75 lb of fresh dinner sausage for 2 people (estimated cost $2.24 for 0.75 lb); use half a box of DeCecco pasta (about 8 oz) and roughly half a jar of Rao's sauce, saving the rest for another use. Confirm the Rao's tomato variety is dairy-free, as the Alfredo variety contains dairy and must be avoided.

Wednesday
Meal: Baked Fresh Chicken Thighs with Kikkoman Sauce Glaze and Birds Eye Steamfresh Vegetables
Description: Bone-in chicken thighs are coated in a simple Kikkoman soy sauce glaze and baked until the skin is caramelized and the meat is juicy, served alongside a steamed Birds Eye vegetable bag for an easy, balanced dinner for two. The savory glaze adds bold flavor with almost no prep work, and the steamfresh vegetables make this a complete meal in under an hour.
Sale items used: Fresh Chicken Drumsticks or Thighs Giant Grade A Family Size ($3.99/lb), Kikkoman Sauce ($1.99), Birds Eye Steamfresh Vegetables ($1.99)
Prep time: 10 minutes active, 45 minutes total
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1.25 lb of chicken thighs for 2 people, roughly 3 to 4 thighs (estimated cost $4.99 for 1.25 lb); use 2 to 3 tablespoons of Kikkoman sauce for the glaze and one full bag of Birds Eye Steamfresh vegetables. Since total time approaches 55 minutes, marinate the chicken in the Kikkoman sauce for up to 30 minutes ahead if time allows for deeper flavor.

Thursday
Meal: Scrambled Egg and Fresh Dinner Sausage Hash with Sweet Potatoes
Description: Diced sweet potatoes are pan-fried until crispy, then combined with crumbled fresh dinner sausage and fluffy scrambled eggs for a filling, protein-packed hash that works as a hearty breakfast-for-dinner or weekend brunch for two. Everything cooks in one skillet for easy cleanup and bold, satisfying flavor.

If you purchased the family-size sausage package on Tuesday, use the remainder here to avoid buying a second package.

Friday
Meal: Sauteed Domestic Shrimp with Giant 90 Second Rice and NatureSweet Tomatoes
Description: Fresh wild-caught domestic shrimp are quickly sauteed with halved NatureSweet tomatoes in a light garlic and olive oil pan sauce, then served over fluffy 90-second rice for a fast, bright, and naturally dairy-free dinner for two. This meal comes together in about 20 minutes and lets the quality of the fresh shrimp shine.
