Parmesan Crust

This crust can be used with any kind of a savory dish. This is going to be a super-popular recipe.

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.

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.

Butternut Squash Fries

You will not believe how easy these are to make and how wonderful they taste! Once you start eating these “fries” you’ll never miss the other ones.

Oshkosh Guacamole

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

Grilled Peaches with Cinnamon Butter Sauce

I adapted this recipe for Plan Z from one of Bobby Flay’s ideas. I love a good grilled peach in the summer. Even if you have a crowd over for a barbecue you can grill up a bunch of these in a jiffy and everyone will enjoy a healthy dessert.

Zucchini-Carrot Saute (SUPER simple)

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.

Roasted Broccoli Cheese Soup

I love a good broccoli cheese soup, and this is creamy, dreamy and a BIG YUM.

Shiitakes in Vermouth

This one is for the gourmet cooks in the group. You can do this with any standard mushrooms and make it less exotic but the gourmet cooks will appreciate the earthy flavor of the shiitakes.

Swiss Chard with Bacon

Everything goes better with bacon…as the saying goes. So this side dish will be a hit.

Asparagus with Toasted nuts

Timing the side dishes to come out and be warm when served can also be a challenge. I am offering up this idea for an asparagus side dish because asparagus tastes good at any temperature.

Yogurt with Fruit and Nuts

Okay. This seems so simple. Everyone wants a fast breakfast or snack. Your kids will be giddy with this as their breakfast or their after school snack.

Creamy Leek Pie

This recipe makes a yummy vegetarian lunch or side dish to go with a protein. I also put it in Zola to GO! because it can travel to a buffet.

Marvelous Mushrooms

This mushroom dish was designed to go with steak but I am confident it will go well with chicken or even an omelet. The taste is rich so be ready for some big YUMs around your table.

Butternut Squash Roasted in Coconut Oil

This recipe is SUPER simple and SUPER BIG YUM! I don’t crave potatoes anymore but I can develop a craving for this stuff!

Roasted Butternut Squash, Egg and Cheese Casserole

This recipe is for all the vegetarians out there. Thank you dieter Nancy for this photo. For you non-vegetarians this makes a great side dish to go along with a grilled meat. We had this last night with grilled Andouille sausage and had a lovely meal.

Eggplant Lasagna

Dieter Debbie created this fabulous recipe. Thanks Debbie!

Hearty Italian Tomato-Mushroom Soup

This is a very thick soup. If you like your soup thinner you can add tomato juice to thin it out. I'd say a couple of cups of juice would be plenty.

Coffee and Cinnamon Roasted Nuts

Debbie says, "I made some roasted nuts last night for an election party, they were so good I had to share them. These were amazing and so yummy."
