Raspberry Fool

This is one of my favorite, QUICK recipes for an impromptu dinner party.

Pumpkin Mousse

Light and dreamy. If you like pumpkin you’ll love this smooth and easy dessert.

Chicken Satay (Chicken skewers with peanut sauce)

You can serve these as an appetizer, a party buffet food, a lunch or even as a dinner option. If you have never had Thai food and want an easy way to try it, this is a perfect dish.

Turkey Roll-Ups

This is a recipe that can made by a supervised child or a helper. It's basically assembly work. Your time is then freed up to work on the other things. It took me about 30 minutes to do 30 rolls.

Extra Easy Meal Ideas

Here's a list of very quick and easy dishes that you can prepare in minutes.

Tomato Leek Casserole

This dish re-heats just fine in a microwave or oven if you're taking it to work or another event.

Roasted Red and Yellow Pepper Strips

You can make these in a large batch and store leftovers in the refrigerator. They reheat well and can travel well too. Eat them hot or cold.

Chili Con Carne

This is a meaty chili with some veggies tossed in for crunch factor. Makes a satisfying lunch.

Fish with a Tasty Mustard Glaze

You can do this with just about any approved fish. In the picture you’ll see I did it with salmon.

Super Easy Salmon

Serve with your veggie portion and an optional salad.

Lemon Pepper Cream Gravy

The lemon pepper cream tastes particularly delightful with chicken or turkey. It makes it very special.

Mediterranean Chicken

This recipe uses one of my favorite seasonings, but I hesitated to list this ingredient because of its name. It’s really spelled like the swear word. Special Sh*t. I know some would be very entertained by this and others would be appalled by the vulgarity. I use mine OFTEN. It’s great on meat, fish, veggies and more. I even use it to season nuts as a cocktail snack. I hope you enjoy it, too.

Chicken Nuggets

This recipe was submitted by Zola Diet participant, Amy Z. Amy says, "This was great. The kids gobbled them up!"

Jerk Chicken

This is a fairly mild recipe for what is usually a HOT dish. SUPER easy!

Mini-Meatloaves

These little meatloaves transport very easily. They can be taken to work for lunch, or a picnic in the park. I hope you enjoy them!

Hunky Chunky Tomato Salad

A simple salad to go with your favorite ZReduction dressing.

Asian Sirloin Steak Stir Fry

The leftovers for this meal will travel well so make extra and you can take some to work for lunch! This is not an overly spicy dish. If you want it HOT you can add some cayenne.
