Lovers of Indian food are going to go ga-ga for this meal! And it comes together in 30 minutes or less. It’s totally delicious.

This dish is super easy and a one pan job if you have a cast iron pan.. Serve with green beans and eat them with your fingers if you dare...

In a hurry to make dinner? These tacos are quick and easy. Depending on how much preparation you do in advance, this dish can meet that goal in 15 – 25 minutes!

At first you’d think chimichangas would be high carb. The good news is they have low carb tortillas at the grocery store that taste the same as the traditional. Look for the low carb versions.

This dish comes together in a flash. If you are doing beef enchiladas, I recommend red sauce. If you are doing chicken, I recommend you go wild and use a green sauce.

I’ll lay out the instructions with chicken, but it can also be made with ham, tuna (canned or fresh cooked) smoked chicken or even a pulled apart rotisserie chicken.

A wonderful summer recipe with a little lesson in chicken meat processing.

This dish will remind you of chicken Parmesan but this has a lighter sauce made with summer veggies. It's easy to make and can be fancy enough to serve at a backyard party.

In a regular tamale pie the cornbread is usually on top, like a crust. This low carb tamale pie actually has NO CORN in it. I call it Upside Down because in this recipe the “cornbread” is actually on the bottom.

This is my favorite dish to order in a Mexican restaurant. Trouble is they wrap it in several rolled-up tortillas. This is much better for you if you make it with one tortilla and do it as a casserole

I served mine with a warm pear salad. YUM.

This is fast to make and is a wonderful comfort food addition to your recipes.

This dish is a combination of my recipe for Chicken Mamou and a casserole. Chicken Mamou is a traditional Cajun dish. “Mamou” is their word for Grandma, so this is true comfort food.

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.

Yes, you can have raisins once you stabilize. Just not too many. Use as few as you feel you can get away with and still get the flavor sensation.

Jambalaya is normally a rice-centric dish that is chock-full of carbs. I redesigned this dish so you can fit some rice into your life without blowing your diet.

This is a cheesy and bubbly casserole that will keep you warm for dinner during the cold winter weeknights!

Dieter and KLSS Star 106 DJ Harry O stopped by Plan Z headquarters this weekend. Harry, who's lost 150 pounds on Plan Z, brought with him a fantastic lasagna recipe. It tastes just like the homemade version we all love, but without the additional carbs

This is a dreamy, smooth pasta dish that uses little pasta but is still big on taste. This dish can be easily doubled and baked in a 9" x 13" pan for a larger crowd.

This dish can be made with chicken or is a perfect way to use up leftover turkey from the holidays.
