The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.

This is such a versatile side dish it goes well with any type of protein.

Fennel has a distinct flavor, but when it's roasted, the flavor mellows. If you like fennel, this recipe is great, and it's very easy to make.  

Cabbage is one of the foods that's unlimited on ZReduction, so it's the perfect food to nosh on when you're hungry between meals. Dieter Brenda sent us this versatile cabbage recipe, and it's scrumptious. Eat it with dinner, or as a snack. Or, add a sliced onion and use it as a substitution for noodles that’s healthy and delicious. Or, try adding chicken broth and your favorite seasoning to turn this a brothy side or a simple soup.

Dieter Debbie has mastered air fried veggies on ZReduction, and shared this with the Plan Z Facebook group. It's simple, and delicious and can be ready in a jiffy. We're posting it here for everyone to enjoy. Thank you, Debbie!

Sometimes the simplest things are the best. I am offering up two options for grilled veggies.

This delicious recipe was submitted by dieter Nicole. She served it with pork chops and roasted tomatoes. Thanks, Nicole for the inspired dish!

I have decided the grilled Chinese eggplant tastes better than potato chips! Even better than French fries! And it’s so easy.

This simple salad can be prepared in minutes and offers a light flavor, a bright bowl full of color and cool crunch on a warm day!

This delicious recipe was submitted by Plan Z dieter Bruce. Bruce says, "We saw this sixteen years ago on a trip to visit our daughter in-law. They keep it from day to day and just add to it when more is needed."

This is a fun, colorful side dish to a plain piece of meat. This goes together so fast! You can even make it in the morning and finish assembly just before dinner.

You won’t ever need potato chips again.

Since spinach is an unlimited, you can have as much as you like. It doesn't count towards your veggie portion which means you can have this and another veggie, too. YUM!

If you love cabbage, you are going to freak out about how good this is. All we can say about this recipe is that if you hate cabbage this meal might convert you!

This recipe is designed for your barbecue needs. Of course you can eat it with anything but I had the Korean BBQ Sauce in mind when I paired these up. The Korean sauce is sort of sweet and then this is zippy.

This is quick cooking at its best…or novice cooking for those who are just discovering their talents in the kitchen.

Add this zippy side dish to your favorite piece of protein for a vitamin packed veggie punch.

This side dish will make just about any man’s day. Think of pairing it with a small steak or a grilled chicken breast.

Roasting the vegetables really brings out lovely caramelized flavors in the eggplant and tomatoes. Try pairing this side dish with my Halibut with Shallots and Bacon recipe for a light and tasty meal.
