I meal plan and I cook for two. Generally-I make a lunch for both people for the week, and then three dinners, with each dinner making enough leftovers for a second night, and then the 7th night we may go out or making something fun (especially on Saturday).

My guidelines with the mediterranean diet is to eat you veggies, greens and legumes on a regular basis, eat meat 1 or 2 times a week preferably chicken, eat seasonally, consume large quantities of olive oil. So my guidelines are very loose.

So my menu this week:
Dinner: Pasta with fresh tomato and basil, peach panzanella salad, taco salad (I make mine with lettuce, tomato, half an avocado, grilled corn, chiles, some cheese, and an avocado yogurt lime dressing-this is where the other half of the avocado goes).
Lunch: Fava (yellow split pea) dip with tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, bread and cheese.

I've got some meal ideas on the board for next week and they include pan bagnat, blueberry feta almond salad (not sure if it will include chicken), tomato tart, vegetarian mousaka for lunch, rice and lentil salad with sun dried tomato and pistachios (also for lunch for another week), sweet potato hummus, sauteed greens with pork, lentil salad with arugala, carrots, blue cheese and chicken, zucchini fritters with yogurt dip, stuffed eggplants with yogurt bechamel, maybe a grilled meat with moroccan carrot salad, vegetarian pupusas with cabbage salad, shakshuka with tuna, and so on. In the fall, I'll start eating more squash and other fall veggies and probably way more soups and stews, and stuffed veggie pies. I'm working on creating a spreadsheet of a lot of this stuff broken down by season, so when I need inspiration it will be there.

My inspirations are a lot of Greek food, but I also like Mexican, Indian, and other mediterranean food, so I've gotten a few cookbooks, and follow a few food blogs and go with recipes that sounds good. A great resource is the OliveTomato website that has solid recipes and information on the med diet and I use that for inspiration, though the recipes lean heavy on Greek recipes but it also provides a lot of good guidance. Some of my favorite cookbooks are Kremezi's Mediterranean Vegetarian Feasts, but I really like all her cookbooks, I like Madhur Jaffrey for Indian but also really like her World Vegetarian, for veggie recipes. Ottolenghi has some really great cookbooks though the seasoning can be too much but I can also find free recipe blogs by him online. I've also heard great things about ATK's Mediterranean cookbook.
