Meijer Dairy-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week's plan for four builds on Meijer's sale shelf, and every night is dairy-free without special substitutes, so there's no cheese, cream or butter to hunt down. Monday starts with the $3.98 boneless pork loin roasted with Gala apples, then Tuesday brings sheet-pan chicken thighs and Wednesday a ground chuck chili over baked potatoes. The $1.25 Hunt's Tomatoes multi-buy and the $1.25 four-pack of bell peppers stretch across Wednesday's chili and Thursday's skillet shrimp, and one bag of potatoes covers both Monday and Wednesday. Friday wraps up with a chicken tenderloin and butternut squash soup, so check the Meijer Broth label to confirm it's dairy-free before it goes in your cart.
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Oven-Roasted Boneless Pork Loin with Gala Apples, Sweet Onions and Roasted Potato Wedges
Description: A seasoned boneless pork loin roasts in the oven with potato wedges, then apple wedges and sweet onion join the pan for the last stretch so they turn tender and golden. Slice the pork and spoon the pan juices and apples over the top.
Sale items used: Fresh from Meijer Whole Boneless Pork Loin, Bulk Granny Smith or Gala Apples, Yellow or Red Potatoes, Bulk Sweet Onions
Prep time: 70 minutes
Serving note: 2 lbs Whole Boneless Pork Loin, 1.5 lbs Gala apples, half of the bag of Yellow or Red Potatoes, 0.5 lb Bulk Sweet Onions. Season the pork in the morning with salt, pepper, garlic and dried thyme. Roast at 400 F for about 45 minutes with the potato wedges, add the apples and onions for the last 20 minutes, and rest the pork 10 minutes before slicing.

Meal: Sheet-Pan Chicken Thighs with Roasted Broccoli Crowns

Wednesday
Meal: Ground Chuck and Bell Pepper Chili over Baked Potatoes
Description: Certified Angus Beef Ground Chuck is browned with sweet onion and bell pepper, then simmered with Hunt's Tomatoes, chili powder and cumin until thick. It is ladled over baked potatoes, which makes a hearty dairy-free dinner.
Sale items used: Certified Angus Beef Ground Chuck, Hunt's Tomatoes, Bulk Sweet Onions, Red, Yellow or Orange Bell Peppers, Yellow or Red Potatoes
Prep time: 60 minutes
Serving note: 1.5 lbs Ground Chuck, 1 lb Bulk Sweet Onions, 2 of the 4 items in the Hunt's Tomatoes multi-buy, 1 bell pepper from the 4-pack, and the remaining half of the bag of Yellow or Red Potatoes. Bake the whole potatoes at 400 F for about 50 minutes while the chili simmers on the stovetop for about 35 minutes. Both can start at the same time so dinner lands near the 60-minute mark.
