Sea Salt Crusted Snap Peas

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

Cauliflower Mac and Cheese

You know how you can eat mac and cheese and not even use your teeth? This had the same result. BIG YUM!

Sweet Onion Casserole

This is a super easy side dish that can be mixed up in a flash and then baked. It will go well with any piece of roasted meat and can work on a buffet for a party.

Zucchini Fritters (or Pancakes)

Fried till golden using coconut flour.

Chunky Cajun Peach Sauce

You can reheat this to serve or you can serve it room temp or cold. Just depends on the time of year you make it. In the summer it would be great cold.

Exotic Teriyaki Mushrooms

These mushrooms are a super side dish. Perfect for a quiet dinner for two. Or make a giant bowl and serve on a holiday.

Cooked “Carpaccio” Salad

I did a cooked variation of this dish and served it as an entrée. Loved it.

Zucchini Noodles (Zoodles)

You’ll never miss the pasta if you start serving these with your Italian dishes. They are pretty, too!

Cauliflower Mash

The touch of nutmeg in here really makes the dish. Try this as a substitute for mashed potatoes. It’s really quite delightful

Buttered Mushrooms

Dieter Rebecca first had this warm and rustic side dish while in Ireland on a road trip in 1994. These mushrooms where in every Irish B&B Dieter Rebecca visited. She loved the recipe so much she recreated it for Plan Z! Hope you enjoy.

Parmesan Crust

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

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.

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.

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.
