Mediterranean Diet Meal Plan Week 34

We share our family’s weekly Mediterranean diet 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 

This Week’s Mediterranean Diet Meal Plan

This week was a bit all over the place…on one hand we celebrated the New Year and on the other were still stuck in that strange post holiday back to reality limbo. My kids don’t go back to school until next week but we slowly started getting back to our usual schedule.

Recipe Links

Below are the links for any recipes this past week that have actual recipes. Some items (mostly lunch) don’t always have a recipe. For example, there is no recipe for Tuesday’s lunch of quesadillas and grapes.

We have enjoyed this Mustard Skillet Chicken recipe multiple times over the past year. It’s a family favorite. Such a great, hearty and comforting meal. Highly recommend.

Baked Sweet Potatoes

This is a weekly meal prep for our house lately. I buy a big bag of sweet potatoes and then roast them in the oven. Then at lunch time, I simply reheat them in the microwave and add chimichurri sauce (from trader joe’s). It’s so good!

Baked Cod with Olives

This fish recipe is easy and very delicious. Everything gets baked together in the oven.

Thai Style Coconut Chicken

I created these Thai Style Coconut Chicken Tacos for a recipe contest with Kevin’s Natural Foods last month and simply fell in love with this chicken. We had it again last week, it’s just so fantastic!
