    Eat Dairy Free ‘Keep it Simple’ Menu Plan with Printable Shopping List

    42
    By Alisa Fleming on February 5, 2018 Food and Grocery, Shopping List

    As promised, I’ve got several online resources for everyone with a copy of my cookbook, Eat Dairy Free! Other resource pages include the Eat Dairy Free Ingredients (specific products and brands I use), How to Make Rice (what you didn’t know), and Healthy Store-Bought Snacks (our favorite picks). And I’m finally getting to the shopping lists for the menu plans. They are taking much more time than I expected, but today the printable shopping list for the ‘Keep it Simple’ menu plan is ready for you! Enjoy a peak at this easy menu plan (for those starting out OR short on time) and the complete shopping list below.

    If you don’t have a copy of Eat Dairy Free yet, you can order it on Amazon or via other major book retailers. I have more information here!

    Eat Dairy Free - Your Essential Cookbook for Everyday Meals, Snacks, and SweetsAs written here, this combination menu plan and printable shopping list should feed 4 people for one week (with leftover pantry supplies!). For one- or two-person households, you can halve the shopping list. For larger households, you can double it. Most of these dishes do freeze well.
