I used to HATE Brussels sprouts. I couldn't even stand the smell of them cooking. I love them now, as long as they are caramelized which brings out the sweetness. This version is spicy!

Our VP of Anger Management, Chris Lytle offers up his latest breakfast creation.

Normally Chicken Milano is a pasta dish. This one makes a rich, sundried tomato ‘gravy’ to go with plain chicken breasts. You’ll never miss the pasta. Promise.

This is an easy way to satisfy and Asian food craving. It’s also a great way to clean out the refrigerator! You can use many types of veggies with this dish.

I love a good broccoli cheese soup, and this is creamy, dreamy and a BIG YUM.

This one is for the gourmet cooks in the group. You can do this with any standard mushrooms and make it less exotic but the gourmet cooks will appreciate the earthy flavor of the shiitakes.

These are not sweet crepes. These are savory ones to be filled as a lunch or dinner entrée. These make great family or dinner party food. You can make more than one batch for a party.

This is one of those meals that is easy but makes me feel special. It’s nice enough to serve to company or even just on a Tuesday night.

Everything goes better with bacon…as the saying goes. So this side dish will be a hit.

Timing the side dishes to come out and be warm when served can also be a challenge. I am offering up this idea for an asparagus side dish because asparagus tastes good at any temperature.

This “light on the carbs” lasagna can be made with your favorite pizza ingredients. I just made this one with some of my husband’s favorites.

This dish can be made with chicken or is a perfect way to use up leftover turkey from the holidays.

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

Dinner in 20 minutes or less! Promise! This dish is so easy, you can make it with beef, chicken or even shrimp.

Even a novice cook can handle this one...and it’s only two pans! This also re-heats great for lunch the next day.

As the weather gets colder and the nights get longer this makes a wonderful soup. Or if you get a cold while on Plan Z this might be just the ticket!

This tastes a lot like pizza with no crust. Almost a cross between lasagna and pizza. It’s just a simple, comfort food dish to eat out of a bowl.

This is a simple dish that goes a long way for people that like their food straightforward and without a lot of spice.

My husband declared he wanted Mexican one night. That’s a challenge with Z2. This is not the prettiest dish I have ever made but it was quite tasty and satisfied his craving for Mexican.

This is an easy preparation with a homey vibe, when you want comfort food this is a sure bet.
