Add zip to your chip with Dieter Carolyn's version of guacamole. The secret she says is using lime instead of lemon!

The humble cucumber strongly stands in for bread in this protein packed lunch staple. Crunchy. Wonderful. And it is so much better for you!

This simply grilled chicken dish can be prepared in a variety of different styles--from French and Italian to Mexican and Asian. It makes for a perfect excuse to blow the dust of your grill and say hello to summer.

Get ready to 'kick' up your dinner with this recipe from Dieter Rebecca. She used a combination of ground chicken and Italian sausage to add an extra boost of flavor to her meatloaf. Feel free to use ground beef if that's all you have, but Rebecca really recommends trying the chicken version for a unique take on this American classic.

You don’t even have to cook to make this dish! It’s just pick apart a chicken, chop up the veggies and stir the ingredients together. If your teenaged kids like Mexican, let them make this one!

These crepes are very low carb and EASY to make. You can even make them ahead and store them in the refrigerator or freeze them. I made them at the same time I was working on my seafood and sauce for the stuffed crepes but if you’re not that coordinated in the kitchen, you can make the crepes first and just store them. You do have to keep a close eye on the crepes as they cook. Don’t get distracted. It’s much less stressful to make the crepes and then make the sauce. Both come together really fast so you’ll be out of the kitchen in a jiffy anyway.

They say everything goes better with bacon. From the sounds coming out of my husband when he took his first bite I’d say that’s on target. He loved this dish.

This is such a fabulous substitute for pasta. I promise you won’t miss it. You even get the same texture of the noodles from the spiralized zucchini and you get color and bits of carrot for fun.

This dish is Italian comfort food. I curl up on sofa with a bowl of this and watch a movie. You can go totally low-carb with this one and make it without the pasta. Tastes just as good. This also makes a great casserole addition to a pot luck party.

This dishes coaxes out an abundance of flavor from the shrimp. Creamy, smooth, and slightly spiced your taste buds will light up with his lightened seafood recipe.

Take your tastebuds on a weeknight trip to Asia with this slightly spicy Chinese-inspired dish. You can easily substitute the chicken for either shrimp or beef.

These meatballs are my take on an authentic meatball recipe from New York city. These actually have a cheesy element to them that make them super yummy. BIG YUM!

I love peanut sauce with my Thai food. It feels like Asian comfort food. Don’t knock it til you try it. I thought it sounded really weird when I was younger but once I tried it I became a big fan.

A good old American favorite with a Mexican twist.

This casserole tastes just like a zippy chicken enchilada without the major carbohydrate intake.

The inside of this pie bake tastes just like Midwest comfort food. You won't even notice the potatoes are missing. It has just enough carrots to remind you how sweet they are. Same for the peas. The onion, celery and the mushrooms give it the depth of flavor you'll remember from childhood. The topping isn't your average pie crust. This one is low carb. So it's not like a biscuit either. I'm still trying to perfect low carb biscuits, so this is sort of a cross-breed.

Sea bass tastes like a buttery heaven. There is no butter on this fish but you'll swear there is as you eat it. This red curry sauce is NOT spicy. It's just flavorful.

Radio DJ Harry O in Mason City, IA offers up his latest ZReboot recipe. Simple, yet delicious.

This tastes like a little bit of France in your home. This one has pasta in it so it hits Z3.5. If you make it without pasta you could have it earlier in Z3. All the directions will stay the same if you make the Z3 version simply omit the pasta.
