What We Ate & Loved – Our Mediterranean Diet Meal Plan

A look at what my family and I ate and loved this past week with the goal of sharing some of our Mediterranean diet plan ideas and recipes. 

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.

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 Loved This Week

This is where we just share some things we’ve been loving the past week. Not necessarily related to food but always with the Mediterranean diet and lifestyle in mind. 

Frozen Yogurt Hearts

We had a bunch of yogurt that was getting close to its expiration date, so my daughter made a batch of these Frozen Yogurt Heart (it’s just yogurt with chopped fruit that’s frozen in the freezer) and it saved us many times this week as we started softball practice and needed quick snacks during the week.

Sitka Salmon

We have worked with Sitka Salmon in the past and enjoyed their frozen seafood delivery so much that we signed up as members. It literally is the BEST fish we’ve ever had and it’s so convenient that they deliver it every month (or every other moth) right to your doorstep. It’s so fresh and love that they work with small, family fishermen.
