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 had a bit of it all – lazy summer meals, make ahead lunches and even a neighborhood BBQ. It’s the peak of summer and you’ll notice we took advantage of all the fresh summer produce.
Recipe Links
Listed below are the links to any recipes we enjoyed this past week. A combination of our own recipes and recipes we enjoyed from other creators.
Recipe We Enjoyed from Around the Web
We’ve made these Greek Orzo Stuffed Bell Peppers multiple times and they are just so amazing! This time we used Couscous instead of Orzo but everything else was the same as the recipe.
We tried the viral Smashed Taco Burgers and we are all fans. A fun twist on a taco and burger. Easy to make and fun to set up outside and enjoy in the backyard. (photo viva Blackstone website)
My husband and I have been trying recipes from your Mediterranean Diet Made Easy cookbook. They are easy. They are fast. And they are very delicious! I wish you would publish another cookbook!!
