Publix Dairy-Free Meal Plan

BUDGET RATIONALE

Why these meals: This week's plan is built around Publix sales and keeps things dairy-free without sacrificing variety, starting with a Monday sheet-pan dinner of roasted chicken leg quarters, russet potatoes, and brussels sprouts. Broccoli pulls double duty, showing up Tuesday in a beef and broccoli stir-fry over jasmine rice and again Thursday alongside seared white shrimp and carrots, so you get to use the full 2-for deal without waste. Wednesday's pulled pork Boston butt is the make-ahead centerpiece, slow-cooked until tender and paired with fall hard squash and snipped green beans for a cozy midweek meal. Friday wraps things up light and easy with a Jennie-O ground turkey skillet with onions, spinach, and pasta. Across the week you get chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, and turkey, so every dinner feels different while still making smart use of what's on sale at Publix.
