The Mediterranean Diet
While I write a frequently about the Mediterranean Diet, and I’m sure you’ve read some of those posts, it never hurts to refresh our mind on foods well paired to this healthy and easy lifestyle. Here are some highlights of foods to stock your pantry and refrigerator with.
Foods to have on hand for the Mediterranean Diet
- Olive oil
- Fish (canned, frozen and fresh)
- Beans and lentils
- Fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables
- Herbs
- Whole grains like oats, quinoa, grains, whole-wheat pasta and brown rice
- Nuts, seeds and nut butters
- Eggs
- Fermented dairy like kefir and yogurt
Early Spring Mediterranean Diet Dinners Menu
Monday’s dinner always says spring to me, and warm weather, and brighter longer days. It’s a recipe I love to make clear through the warm days of summer. A simple meatless, skillet frittata with healthy veggies is delicious served with seasonal greens. I’ll be adding whole grain bread for the guys in my house.
Tuesday’s dinner takes a departure from traditional Mediterranean Diet meals but is wholly compatible. I’m looking forward to this delicious and healthy Mexican-inspired casserole.
Wednesday’s dinner is always a favorite. With traditional Greek flavors we love, it’s an easy skillet chicken and pasta dish. Again, add all the seasonal greens you can!
Thursday’s dinner will be such a treat! Serve with whole grain buns (or even eliminate them all together). And for sure, make the tzatziki sauce!
Friday’s dinner is a delicious lemon flavored haddock recipe. If you can’t find haddock at your market, substitute your favorite white fish.
Have a great week!
