Just found this site....am starting Mediterranean Diet, curious about any healthy recipe idea, even vegetarian (although I am hardly that all the time).

Welcome @bluebird!

The Mediterranean Diet is a wonderful way to heat a diverse range of foods that are healthy and full of flavor!

Check out these two recipes from the Meals section of the Safeway website. There are tons of recipes to browse through over there and many of them fit into the Mediterranean diet!

I'm with you that I have been trying to eat a more plant based meals but I am totally not ready to take that plunge full time!!

@AndrewEatsEverything do you have any recipe recommendations for bluebird?

Welcome @bluebird !

I've been trying to incorporate more veggie recipes into my diet and these two recipes have been recent favorites:

Apple-Cheddar Grilled Cheese Sandwiches with Arugula, Apple & Pecan Salad 

Sweet Potato, Spinach & White Bean Curry with Quinoa 

Let us know if you need any other suggestions!

Both sound yummy! I would say they are a little high in calories for me...BUT I will write them down. The diet plan I am using (paying for) includes daily menus and they also are great ---but nothing more (so far at least) than 400 calories per person per meal. Not complaining mind you --- LOVED your contributions and WILL TRY  them both....can make the sandwiches for a friend....YUM!! ...not tonight, of course, but will try them with her.....I can eat half of one and reduce the caloric intake.....THANKS
