Suzy Karadsheh from Port Said, Egypt, fondly recalls visits to the local market with her father for fresh produce, influenced by the Mediterranean cuisine surrounding her. Now a busy mom in Atlanta and founder of The Mediterranean Dish, she emphasizes the Mediterranean diet as a joyful and non-restrictive approach to eating—focusing on seasonal vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats.
### Here’s a Typical Day of Meals:
#### Breakfast:
Karadsheh starts her day with a savory breakfast, often featuring roasted sweet potatoes and fried eggs paired with chopped cucumbers and tomatoes, plus feta cheese.
#### Lunch:
Lunch consists of a Mediterranean grain bowl using leftovers or pre-cooked grains such as freekeh or farro, often accompanied by hummus and bread.
#### Dinner:
For dinner, she prefers grilled chicken or fish, often with a Greek salad. A favorite recipe includes lemon-garlic cod, seasoned and baked, or chicken marinated with diverse Mediterranean flavors.
Karadsheh’s cooking reflects her heritage, prioritizing health, flavor, and efficiency for family meals.
