Giant Dairy-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week gives you five dinners built around chicken, pork, shrimp, and beef, all cooked in olive oil so they stay dairy-free. Monday's sheet-pan chicken leg quarters are an easy start, with 3 lbs at $3.00 and one pan doing most of the work. Potatoes show up on Monday and again in Friday's ground beef hash, and peppers do the same on Wednesday and Friday, so one purchase of each stretches across the week. Tuesday's pork chops with apple and cabbage add a sweet-tart change of pace, and the 2 lbs of cabbage is just $1.18. Thursday's garlic shrimp with avocado, cucumber, and mandarin salad keeps things light and quick before the hearty Friday hash.
