A weekly series where we share our family’s actual Mediterranean diet meal plan, along with a few things we’ve been loving this past week. The goal is to simply share meal and recipe ideas.
Our Mediterranean Diet Meal Plan
We share our family’s weekly meal plan simply for meal ideas and recipe inspiration for anyone else looking for suggestions. Please keep in mind that every family and person is different and this is just what works for us.
We’ve saved all our previous weekly meal plans in one convenient location – Weekly Mediterranean Diet Meal Plans.
How We Meal Plan
We go more in depth on how we go about planning meals in this post – Meal Planning Guide but just to quickly summarize –
- Breakfast is usually pretty standard in our house so I don’t include it on our meal plan list
- My kids either bring a bagged lunch or buy hot lunch at school so I only meal plan for my lunch (and my husband if he is working from home that day)
- I include notes on some days to indicate if the meal is something we have to make quickly, on the go, etc. This really helps when it comes to planning meals and buying food to know our schedule in advance.
- On Saturdays we typically eat leftovers and eat out for lunch or dinner. I indicate that on the meal plan each week but just in case you were wondering
What We Ate This Week
We took a mini road trip this past weekend to visit the kids grandpa and grandpa, so it was a few more meals eaten out than normal. Other than that, we are still trying to pull the grocery budget back a bit.
Recipe Links
Unfortunately most the meals we enjoyed this past week didn’t really have recipes. However, here are the few that did…
- Mustard Chicken
- we had this last week as well and the kids asked for it again! it’s that good
- Hardboiled Eggs with Pesto
- Chopped Lentil Salad
What We’ve Been Loving this Week
I shared this earlier this week on instagram, but one thing we’ve been loving lately for lunch is roasted sweet potatoes.
Inspired by this Black Bean Stuffed Sweet Potato recipe from our Mediterranean Diet Made Easy Cookbook.
