Chili with Beans

This is a simple chili. It’s a takeoff from an old Betty Crocker recipe. Can’t get much simpler than that!

Sausage Chicken Gumbo

This comes together in a flash and tastes just as good as the recipes that cook for hours.

Italian Chicken Pesto Bake

This makes cozy comfort food. You can put it together pretty fast and pop it in the oven so you can do other things while dinner finishes up. I like dishes like this because it gives me time to load the dishwasher with the cooking tools and the kitchen is cleaned except for the actual eating dishes before I even sit down for the meal. Perfect dish for a pot luck too.

Salmon Casserole

With this recipe, I’ve included about 25% of the pasta that would be in most similar recipes. That’s a big secret. Just cut it back. You won’t miss it. This casserole focuses on the veggies, the protein and the sauce.

Braised Greens with Toasted Pine Nuts

Quick and simple side dish. And so healthy.

Zucchini Noodles with Avocado-Pesto, Bacon and Chopped Tomato

This dish is rich and satisfying. When you get to ZReboot your body craves fats and the bacon and avocado are the perfect combo. Eat this anytime!

Shrimp Stuffed Avocado

Great on a hot day or evening. Lite dinner with family or guests. Can be served totally cold if that’s more convenient.

Veggie Drawer Quiche

Everybody needs the perfect recipe that uses up the little leftover bits of vegetables you have in the drawer. Instead of letting them go to waste, you can whip up this quiche. I served it for dinner. You can serve it for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Some people even like it room temperature or cold.

Loaded Smashed Potatoes

Don’t start making potatoes every week. Keep this for special occasions. When you have fully stabilized and you are confident in keeping your weight in control you can consider eating a one cup portion of potatoes about once a month.

Frito Meatloaf

This meatloaf makes six servings. When you serve it, remember that your crunch item is already included, so no breadstick or crackers with this meal.

This is a hearty and satisfying casserole for those who would love a traditional lasagna but know the noodles are not smart.

These fast and fun kabobs can be made with any of your favorite ZReduction approved spices.

This lasagna has no noodles. Standing in for the noodle layers are zucchini sliced the long way.

Weeknights you need something easy to put together and fast to get on the table. This is a perfect option.

Anniversary Chicken Tenders

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.

Mexican “Fold Over” Casserole

This is semi-spicy. If you want less heat, just back off on the pepper flakes.

Exotic Teriyaki Mushrooms

These mushrooms are a super side dish. Perfect for a quiet dinner for two. Or make a giant bowl and serve on a holiday.

The Deconstructed Chicago Hotdog in Honor of the 2016 World Series Champs – The Chicago Cubs

Tuna is a hearty piece of fish full of antioxidants and protein. This meal will leave you full and satisfied.
