Creamy Leek Pie

ZSpecialties,Z3-Entrees,ZS-Zola to Go,Z3-Sides,Z3-Vegetarian

This recipe makes a yummy vegetarian lunch or side dish to go with a protein. I also put it in Zola to GO! because it can travel to a buffet.

My Mother’s Apple Crisp

ZS-Zola to Go,ZSpecialties,Z3.5-Desserts

There’s something about the potential of smelling apples baking with cinnamon and nutmeg that conjures up fond memories of my mother in the kitchen. She taught me as a small girl to make apple crisp so I did it often. This also makes a wonderful little breakfast the next day.

Italian Sausage Zucchini Casserole (with Pasta)

ZSpecialties,Z3.5-Pork,ZS-Zola to Go,Z3.5-Entrees

This dish is Italian comfort food. I curl up on sofa with a bowl of this and watch a movie. You can go totally low-carb with this one and make it without the pasta. Tastes just as good. This also makes a great casserole addition to a pot luck party.

Mexican Chicken Stew

Z2-Entrees,ZS-Zola to Go,Z2-Soup,ZSpecialties,Z2-Poultry,ZS-Dieter Favorites

This is a great Zola to Go! dish, perfect for those cold days for lunch.

Cooked Cabbage Salad

ZSpecialties,Z2-Entrees,ZS-Zola to Go,Z2-Beef,Z2-Salads

This recipe is compliments of Dieter Rose. Rose loves cooked cabbage and this does the trick for her. You can take this to work cold and reheat in the microwave too.

Authentic Italian Meatballs

ZSpecialties,Z3-Entrees,Z3-Beef,ZS-Zola to Go

These meatballs are my take on an authentic meatball recipe from New York city. These actually have a cheesy element to them that make them super yummy. BIG YUM!

Lockdown Chili (Z2 Version)

ZS-Zola to Go,Z2-Beef,ZSpecialties,ZS-Dieter Favorites

What better time to have a spicy chili than when I am in lockdown, practicing social distancing.

Beefy Pasta Casserole

ZSpecialties,Z3.5-Beef,ZS-Zola to Go,Z3.5-Entrees

Pasta doesn’t have to be banned from ZLife. You just need to limit it and monitor how you use it. If you keep in mind that a FULL portion is a half cup cooked you’re on the right track. And just eat it on a special occasion.

Chunky Chicken Chili

ZSpecialties,Z2-Entrees,Z2-Soup,ZS-Zola to Go,Z2-Poultry

We made this during a snow storm, the taste took off the chill of the day.

Chili #4

ZSpecialties,Z2-Entrees,Z2-Beef,ZS-Zola to Go,Z2-Soup

I have designed several chili recipes for Plan Z. This is one of those that is very straightforward and simple. It doesn’t even have a lot of ingredients.

Chicken Pot Pie Bake (for Turkey leftovers, too!)

ZSpecialties,ZS-Zola to Go,Z3-Entrees,ZS-Holiday,Z3-Poultry

The inside of this pie bake tastes just like Midwest comfort food. You won't even notice the potatoes are missing. It has just enough carrots to remind you how sweet they are. Same for the peas. The onion, celery and the mushrooms give it the depth of flavor you'll remember from childhood. The topping isn't your average pie crust. This one is low carb. So it's not like a biscuit either. I'm still trying to perfect low carb biscuits, so this is sort of a cross-breed.
