Just like the one your mom made, only healthier. Everyone loves the green bean casserole. Here I'll show you one one that doesn't take much longer to make and it’s real food, not processed!

This dish can be as easy as 3 ingredients and 3 minutes! I am going to describe a pre-cooked version of the shrimp dish and one you cook yourself. I am also going to give you spice mix options.

This is a decadent side dish. When I serve it, people at the table often ask me why this tastes so unique, so we play “guess the secret ingredient”…. Answer is the nutmeg. This dish goes well at dinner parties and holiday celebrations. It makes a perfect side dish for your upcoming holiday dinner.

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.

This simple Italian Soup is packed with flavor and convenience. It travels well and heats in the microwave too. Leftovers are a BIG YUM.

This looks like a lot of ingredients, but you’ll see it’s sort of a dump and cook recipe. Not difficult at all. If you love making Asian food you probably have many of these ingredients in the house.

This is great as a light lunch time meal and a great holiday recipe. The juxtaposition of the sweeter apricots with the curry has the exotic taste I was looking for.

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

Okay, so I opened my pantry and saw a jar of roasted red pepper strips. I thought… I could make a new chili with these! So here you have it.

This dish made a wonderful lunch salad entrée in our Plan Z kitchen. I think it would be GREAT as an appetizer at a cocktail party, too.

Coffee on a steak? Heck yes! This combo is a steak-house classic that will leave your mouth watering for more but won't keep you up all night from a caffeine buzz.

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

I designed this broccoli cheese soup for the average cook. It only takes a few minutes to chop the veggies and then put it in the pot and let the magic happen. All you have to do is stir it. How easy is that?

Easy to make and freezer friendly, egg muffin cups make for a great grab-and-go breakfast. I love switching up ingredients – I’ll do bacon, swiss, onion and spinach one time. Ham, cheddar and broccoli. Sausage, mozzarella, tomatoes and mushrooms. The possibilities are endless!

This a great, crustless quiche that can be eaten as a lunch or light dinner with Plan Z.

Anniversary chicken is a rather famous recipe. Been around a long time. I don’t have any idea, though, where the name came from. I made my own twist on this recipe. Most often it’s made with chicken breast. I made mine with chicken tenders.

All the ingredients spend a lot of loving time together in the pot to make an amazingly simple and flavorful soup.
