Helping People to Change their Lives
"The Mediterranean Movement has been a great inspiration for me to incorporate healthier meals into my weekly cooking.
The recipes you post have ingredients I usually have on hand, the instructions are simple enough to pull off on a busy week night, and the results are mouth-watering!
I didn't realize how easy it would be to commit to healthier eating -- and I love that I still get a glass of red wine too."

Lindsey F
"Your blog has been a great recipe source for me!
After almost 6 years of garbage eating, having 3 children, and dealing with extreme anxiety and depression I realized my biggest source of contention was food.
I was diagnosed with celiac disease and lactose intolerance stopped eating overly processed and fast food and have felt so much better since!
I'm now adopting a fully Mediterranean Diet for continued wellness."

Chara K
"Due to Covid-19, I’m forced to learn to cook and am starting to enjoy it.
Following and learning from the Mediterranean Movement has been critical.
I’m learning about new dishes and trying some excellent meals, while also maintaining some sanity!"
