Egg Drop Soup

This soup is a staple at Chinese restaurants. It is filling, delicate and delicious. Unfortunately, one of the ingredients in most restaurant egg drop soup recipes is MSG. The recipe below is an MSG-free version of the traditional classic, so it won't taste exactly the same, but we think it's just as delicious.

Lamb Kebabs (Z3 Version)

A ZReboot version of a ZReduction classic. If you like lamb, this recipe is a home run.

Lamb Kebabs (Z2 Version)

Marinating lamb beforehand adds a depth of flavor that can't be beat. And when it's grilled, it's phenomenal. So, if you like lamb, this recipe is a home run.

Roasted Carrots

Roast carrots are easy to make and taste good every time. If you can splurge on fresh herbs, it will be well worth it. 

Caramelized Brussels Sprouts with Pepperoni Bits (or Bacon)

Another Happy Healthy Holidays classic. This is so easy it almost feels like cheating.

Lois’ Tomato Cucumber Herb Salad

When brainstorming veggie ideas in the Plan Z Facebook group, dieter Lois shared this salad recipe. We tried it, and it's delicious.

Green Apple Protein Smoothie

I am a HUGE fan of Collagen Protein so that’s what’s in here that will keep you full and focused until your next meal. 

Pan-Seared Sea Scallops with Zucchini, Baby Bok Choy and Cherry Tomatoes

This dish is both spicy and sweet. I made it on the less spicy side for my current tastes but it’s easy to have a jar of cracked red pepper flakes handy for those who want to add some to the final dish to make it “hotter.”

Crab-Stuffed Mushrooms

My husband found this recipe and made it for me. It was delicious! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Baked Salmon with Bragg’s Sauce

Calling all Bragg’s lovers. This is yet another reason why we love Bragg’s so much!

Sesame Kale

This recipe was submitted by Plan Z coach, Pearl. She loves kale and makes this recipe often.

Shrimp Scampi (ZReboot 3.5 Version)

This is a classic Italian dish. The one you order at Olive Garden will have WAY more pasta than this dish will have. That’s okay. The shrimp are the real star of this dish. Plus, you’ll be better off without all that starch. 

Shrimp Scampi (ZReboot Version)

What will take the longest with this dish is peeling and taking the shells off the shrimp. You want fresh shrimp though and I’ll teach you how to boil down the shells to make it super-tasty. A deeper flavor is the bonus.

Simple Crusted Salmon

This is my favorite, simple way to cook salmon. If you want to jazz it up you can also make my tzatziki sauce. Yum.

Steak Kebabs

Depending on how you cut your veggies and arranged them on the skewers you might be having more than one kebab. Your meal on sticks!

Hot Wing Dip

Most folks think of chicken wings as being a guy thing and even a sport fan thing but anyone can love this dip! I served it as a breakfast buffet item and it was hands down the dish that got the most comments and compliments. I think it was because it was so unexpected. The comments came from men and women alike but I must admit the guys were the ones who went gaga over this.

Waldorf Salad

A traditional Waldorf salad has grapes or raisins and lots of walnuts -- but it doesn’t have to. This one worked great as a side dish. Be sure to cut your fruit portion for this meal in half.

Italian Sausage Soup (ZReboot Version)

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

Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Fresh Plum Sauce

A dish that is easy to make for a weekday meal, but you could also serve this to guests, and no one would guess this is diet food.

Asian Chicken with Veggie Slaw (ZReduction Version)

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.
