Giant Dairy-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week's plan is built around dairy-free comfort food that still feels indulgent, starting with crispy roasted chicken leg quarters on Monday and moving into a slow-cooked pork butt roast on Tuesday that shreds beautifully with Giant Barbeque Sauce. Wednesday brings pork back into the mix with pan-seared chops alongside sauteed pears and broccoli, while Thursday's ground beef and broccoli stir-fry keeps things fast and vegetable-packed for a busy weeknight. We close out the week with Friday's garlic shrimp, tomatoes, and cauliflower for something light and bright to end on. You'll notice broccoli crowns and yellow onions show up more than once, so you're getting good mileage out of your produce while keeping every dish naturally dairy-free.
