Buttered Mushrooms

Dieter Rebecca first had this warm and rustic side dish while in Ireland on a road trip in 1994. These mushrooms where in every Irish B&B Dieter Rebecca visited. She loved the recipe so much she recreated it for Plan Z! Hope you enjoy.

BBQ Bean Hash

When I was a kid my father traveled a lot. When he was gone, sometimes my mom would let us just fry up some hamburger meat and add a can of Campbell’s baked beans. We called it bean hash. I loved it.

Shrimp de Jonghe with Zucchini Noodles

I Zolafied this decadent Italian appetizer by minimizing the bread crumbs and using zucchini noodles instead of pasta.

Fried Eggplant with Tomato Sauce

This dish takes a humble vegetable like the eggplant and turns it into a crunchy, warm and Italian inspired meal. Big yum!

Turkey Fricassee

I love to take the leftover turkey and transform it into something different. French comfort food. BIG YUM.

Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls

Dieter Jessica made this meal on one of her first days of ZReduction. It was so delicious she wanted to share it with everyone.

Burger and Egg

It’s all the rage in the big city. Have a runny egg on top of your burger. Well, you can do that in ZReduction too! I just ate mine and I’m stuffed!

Turkey Meatball, Sweet Potato, and Kale Soup

With the winter months peeking over our shoulder this hearty soup will shake off the chill while the leaves are still falling. ZTeam coach Grace made this at home and enjoyed it so much she wanted to share it with the Plan Z community!

Mushroom Spinach Quiche

We had this quiche as a vegetarian entrée for a light dinner. My husband loved it so much he had it again the next morning for breakfast.

Broccoli Cheese Brunch Pie

Breakfast. Lunch. Brunch or even a light dinner. You can even serve this as a side dish at a family event. Even the kids who don’t like veggies will like this one.

Summer Veggie Casserole with Pepperoni

This dish is easy to put together. The spouse or the kids can help chop and it comes together fast. You can be doing other things while your dinner bakes in the oven. Makes great leftovers, too.

Butternut Squash Casserole

Serve this at your next family event instead of potatoes and you’ll save 30% of the carbs.

Can be a vegetarian entrée or a side dish. SUPER Yummy because as the squash bakes it becomes sweet.

Grilled Sausage and Summer Fruit Kebabs

This meal makes for a perfect summer barbecue. The sweetness of the apricot and plums melds nicely with the delicious meatiness of the sausage. Don't be afraid! Although it sounds strange these two ingredients compliment each other wonderfully.

Pork Loin Chops with Sizzlin’ Cherry Sauce

This dish comes together quickly. Two pans and voila. If you don’t like spicy food you can leave the cayenne out. It does give a nice little zip to the sweet cherries though so you might consider leaving it in or just cutting it back.

Turkey or Chicken Meatloaf

For a change of pace you can try a unique meatloaf. This one comes with an optional extra sauce in case you want to really ramp up the flavor.

Garlic Rubbed Roasted Cabbage Steaks

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!

Thai Noodles with Chicken

This is one of my favorite summer dishes. You can eat this hot or cold.

Chicken Alfredo with “Almost Noodles”

This dish comes together in a flash! You can also make it with steak or even seafood. When I get a hankering for pasta, I crave Chicken Alfredo. This one did it for me!

Fruit Parfait

This is a must try, a wonderfully light and healthy dessert.

Z2 Chicken and Eggplant Stacks (EASY and QUICK)

This is super flavorful. Tastes just like chicken parmesan without the cheese. Don’t be afraid of eggplant. This stuff is GREAT.
