Menu Monday ~ April 16, 2018

April 16, 2018 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

Once again, it’s time for Menu Monday here on Life With Dee. Don’t these weeks roll around quickly? You may notice a bit of a change in our menus from this point forward. Of course, there will be more of a focus on the fresh fruits and vegetables coming into season. I love farmers market season! But beyond that we will be trying to eat more of a Mediterranean-style diet.

David had a bit of a health scare and his cardiologist has recommended some dietary changes. My research indicates that a Mediterranean diet is an excellent choice and it’s something we can live with. There’s no point in adopting a strict diet and then giving it all up in frustration. Better to choose a healthy, yet tasty and livable eating plan, don’t you think?

WHAT’S COOKING AT YOUR HOUSE THIS WEEK?

If you have any recipes that are compatible with a Mediterranean diet would you share them with me, please? I’m especially interested in fish or seafood recipes that might appeal to someone who isn’t a big fan of fish (that would be David – I love seafood!).

    I love this recipe. It’s kind of like Mediterranean nachos. I used a dairy free yogurt to make it vegan.

      Thank you! I happen to have dried chickpeas I bought in bulk at Whole Foods but had no idea what I would do with them. 🙂

    Sorry about David’s health scare. Hope the dietary changes help to avoid it happening again. I agree that lifestyle changes you’re happy with are better than actual diets – nobody ever sticks to diets for long.

      Thanks. So far we are really enjoying the meals so I think this plan is something we can stick with.
