What We Ate & Loved – Mediterranean Diet Meal Plan Wk 20

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

This is our last week of school and it was also about 100 degrees here on multiple days. Things got shifted around a bit a few nights but all in all, it was a delicious and summer produce friendly week.

Recipes and Links to What We Ate

Below are the links to recipes for things we ate this past week. Please note that some nights don’t have a recipe (for example – scrambled eggs).

• Homemade Hummus
• Greek Salad

• Air Fryer Salmon
• The Easiest Air Fryer Chicken

• Refreshing Watermelon Salad

These two are recipes we tried out this past week and LOVED! One is a recipe that we’ve been testing and is coming to the blog on Monday.

Another is the famous “Jennifer Aniston” Salad that she reportedly ate on the set of friends everyday. It is really, really good. Plus is makes great leftovers the next day.

This recipe is all over the internet, but we followed this recipe and it was delicious.
