This is my favorite new creation. I think I have made this three times in the last two weeks and that’s pretty much a record for me. This dish is easy and it tastes fancy!

This dish can be served with something as simple as a grilled steak or a baked chicken breast. If you want an American-Asian combo this is the way to go. It’s also designed to be served with the seared sea scallops for a more Asian-directed entrée.

A good old American favorite with a Mexican twist.

Add a kick to your weeknight meals. Just let the crock pot do the work and you'll have a South of the border dinner in a cinch.

Summer grilling is not over yet. This one can be done on the grill, in the broiler, or follow my lead to sear it and roast it in your oven. The last option is used by French restaurants who serve steak.

This is a quick and easy meal to prepare. You can make it in batches so you get several servings and it travels and reheats in a microwave easily. Mexican food lovers in your family will love this. It's not very spicy. You can always add hot sauce to fire it up.

A quick, easy, and simple fish dish to brighten up your weekday meals.

This casserole tastes just like a zippy chicken enchilada without the major carbohydrate intake.

Get out the grill! This is one way the Italians do steak. I took a Food Network recipe and Zolafied it to come up with this option for a healthy steak dinner.

This type of dinner comes together VERY quickly. The flavors of the asparagus make a very simple dinner taste fancy and pairs really nicely with a plain, grilled piece of meat.

Most granola you buy at the store has about 35-45 grams of carbohydrates per serving. This one has about 9. Your tummy will love this and you’ll be healthier for it.

A unique way to stuff a chicken! From our dieting friend from Canada…Loretta.

This is a perfect way to start off the summer. Enjoy!

This dish tastes fresh and fancy with hardly any work at all. The most novice cook can handle this one.

Makes for a great steak. In the picture I served it with shallot onion rings as a garnish and veggie on the side. You can still have a salad with this too and be within your allotment for ZReduction.

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.

This is a dreamy, smooth pasta dish that uses little pasta, but is still big on taste. This dish can be easily doubled and baked in a 9" x 13" pan for a larger crowd.

Sea bass tastes like a buttery heaven. There is no butter on this fish but you'll swear there is as you eat it. This red curry sauce is NOT spicy. It's just flavorful.

Radio DJ Harry O in Mason City, IA offers up his latest ZReboot recipe. Simple, yet delicious.

This tastes like a little bit of France in your home. This one has pasta in it so it hits Z3.5. If you make it without pasta you could have it earlier in Z3. All the directions will stay the same if you make the Z3 version simply omit the pasta.
