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 is perfect for a buffet table. Everyone will rave about your contribution. If you want to keep the portions lower, consider serving this with a smaller spoon.

As far as brunch casseroles go, this one is very easy to make and pleases the crowd. It can be made ahead and heated the day of the party.

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.

This is my favorite new creation. I think I have made this three times in the last two weeks and that’s pretty much a record for me.

I remember my first introduction to scallops like it was yesterday. As I took my first bite and swooned I knew these were to become a new favorite.

Hot off the Griddle. “Zolafied” pancakes. If you want your kids full and focused before school give them these instead of cereal.

This is a yummy dish with the creamy peanut butter sauce, the tamari and ginger.

Cooking does not have to be complicated. In this recipe Chef Josh shows us how to make a simple and delicious puree using butternut squash. Easy. Decadent. Delicious.

I love this soup. You can make this with leftover turkey and have a colorful way to use your extras.

The flavor and aroma of this dish will bring a little bit of the Italian countryside to your dinner table. Try it out tonight with your family.

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.

A tasty dish you can have on the table in under thirty minutes!

You know you’re going to eat them sometime. Potatoes that is. I just hope you’ll only do it on special occasions.

A variation of my sea salt crusted snow peas recipe - but with snap peas!

This simple salad can be prepared in minutes and offers a light flavor, a bright bowl full of color and cool crunch on a warm day!

A nice, summery meal that can also be eaten in cooler months. You can make this in a grill pan or on an outdoor grill.  This is much lighter and lower carb than the breaded and fried version.

This delicious recipe was submitted by Plan Z dieter Bruce. Bruce says, "We saw this sixteen years ago on a trip to visit our daughter in-law. They keep it from day to day and just add to it when more is needed."

This delicious recipe was submitted by Dieter Karen. Thanks Karen!

There’s no way to use a commercial sauce for barbecued meats. They ALL have copious amounts of sugar in them. I know. I checked every bottle in the store, so I set about to come up with a rub and a sugarless barbecue sauce for Plan Z.
