So, for my meals at home this week, I put together a pescatarian-friendly (predominately vegetarian) meal plan. It’s healthy and well-balanced. It’s also very budget-friendly (think beans, lentils, vegetables, whole grains, and some fish). I thought I’d share it with you in case you wanted a week of quick and easy Mediterranean meals.

In this blog post, we'll explore the art of meal planning and cover three essential subtopics: giving yourself time to plan, including some of your favorite meals, and making the most of leftovers.
