Who doesn't love cranberry sauce. Happy holidays!

If you have a hankering for potato chips, try these!

This is such a versatile side dish it goes well with any type of protein.

Fennel has a distinct flavor, but when it's roasted, the flavor mellows. If you like fennel, this recipe is great, and it's very easy to make.  

Cabbage is one of the foods that's unlimited on ZReduction, so it's the perfect food to nosh on when you're hungry between meals. Dieter Brenda sent us this versatile cabbage recipe, and it's scrumptious. Eat it with dinner, or as a snack. Or, add a sliced onion and use it as a substitution for noodles that’s healthy and delicious. Or, try adding chicken broth and your favorite seasoning to turn this a brothy side or a simple soup.

Another Happy Healthy Holidays classic. This is so easy it almost feels like cheating.

A tasty fruit salad that is a breeze to make and a unique way to round out a meal. 

This delicious recipe was submitted by dieter Nicole. She served it with pork chops and roasted tomatoes. Thanks, Nicole for the inspired dish!

I have decided the grilled Chinese eggplant tastes better than potato chips! Even better than French fries! And it’s so easy.

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."

You could also add some of this roasted garlic to a batch of cooked green beans or asparagus for a nice flavor combo.

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

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

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.

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

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.

This type of dinner comes together VERY quickly. The flavors of the asparagus make a very simple dinner taste fancy and pairs really nicely with a plain, grilled piece of meat.

I used to HATE Brussels sprouts. I couldn't even stand the smell of them cooking. I love them now, as long as they are caramelized which brings out the sweetness. This version is spicy!
