Giant Dairy-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: You get a different protein every night this week: ham steak on Monday, pork tenderloin on Tuesday, rotisserie chicken on Wednesday, salmon on Thursday, and tuna potato cakes on Friday. Everything is cooked in olive oil with simple herbs, so it stays dairy-free without any special substitutes. A few buys stretch across nights: the $2.00 pack of lemons covers both Monday and Thursday, and the 5 lb bag of russet potatoes or yellow onions at $3.45 covers Monday's roasted potatoes and Friday's potato cakes and sauteed onions. Wednesday is the easy night, since the $6.99 rotisserie chicken turns into rice bowls in about 20 minutes.
