Mediterranean Diet Meal Plan Week 40

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. 

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 

We’ve saved all our previous weekly meal plans in one convenient location – Weekly Mediterranean Diet Meal Plans. 

This Week’s Mediterranean Diet Meal Plan

This week consisted of a few dinners eaten away from home. We went to a neighbors for a St. Patrick’s Day dinner and then had lunch out (day date with the hubby) and ate a dinner one evening at my son’s baseball game.

The rest of the week consisted of easy to pull together meals for busy weeknights.

Recipes We Enjoyed

These are the links to recipes we enjoyed this past week –

• Antipasto Salad (great use of canned goods!)
• Tuna Salad
• Butternut Squash Soup (from a carton!)
• Homemade Hummus

To make our tacos over the weekend, I used this recipe for Carne Asada marinade and it was so good! Highly recommend. I also whipped up some homemade guacamole by combining 3 avocados, 1 shallot, 2 cloves garlic, juice of 1 lime, 1/2 jalapeño, cilantro and a pinch of salt.

To make Chicken Shawarma, I placed chicken in a bag with olive oil and this Shawarma Seasoning blend that I received from Pereg Natural Foods and Spices. The flavor was amazing!
