Loved our last allergy friendly meal plan? We created our second meal plan! Our 7-day gluten free dairy free meal plan is mostly soy free and many of the recipes are nut free as well!
I hope everyone is staying safe and sane at home lately! Things have been so weird and out of the norm lately, but thankfully our weather is getting nice so we’re able to get outside for some sunshine and fresh air.
Since people loved our last meal plan so well, I decided to do another one and try to set up one for each month of the year to make allergy friendly meal planning a bit easier.
This plan is gluten free and dairy free, and most of the recipes are also soy free. You can customize this plan to fit your food preferences and other allergy needs as well.
There are some recipes in this meal plan that have nuts or eggs in them. You can do substitutions for most of them, but if you’d like a nut-free and mostly egg-free menu, check out our other 7-day meal plan (it’s also completely soy free as well).
I’ve added fruits and veggies to this plan in addition to what’s included in some of the recipes, but feel free to add as many fruits and veggies on top of this plan as you’d like!
We also had so many good responses to my request for recipes to include, so I included a bonus 8th day in this plan! We’ll have another 7-day plan coming your way next month as well, so stay tuned.

Hi, I was wondering if you have the meal plan, grocery list, and recipes combined in one document that can be downloaded? It is a lot of work going from one document to the next and looking for every recipe. I know that would probably be an e-book once it is all combined, but something I would love as a reader of your blog.
Thanks!
Hi Vanessa! Since I don’t own many of the recipes included in this meal plan and they belong to other bloggers, I can’t write out these recipes in a document. I’d have to get permission from each recipe owner, charge a fee for the meal plan, and distribute a percentage of the sale to each blogger to compensate for loss of traffic and potential ad revenue from a link to their site in my post. Like all of our other roundup posts, we want to point people to the original recipe creator to give them credit and traffic to their recipe. I know it can be a little inconvenient to click through all the recipes, but this is a free meal plan, and since I am not the owner of some of the recipes here I can’t put those in a document or ebook. I want to make sure that every blogger represented here gets credit and traffic for their hard work 🙂 On meal plans that are 100% my own recipes, I could do that, but I’d have to charge a fee to have everything in one place since I’d also be missing out on some additional traffic (and ad revenue) by writing out all the recipes vs. just providing links. I can do that, but I haven’t yet since I wanted to keep this as a free resource.
