Sides & Veggies

Fried till golden using coconut flour.

Everybody needs the perfect recipe that uses up the little leftover bits of vegetables you have in the drawer. Instead of letting them go to waste, you can whip up this quiche. I served it for dinner. You can serve it for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Some people even like it room temperature or cold.

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

Best served over ravioli; especially a pumpkin ravioli or a butternut squash ravioli.

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

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 dish takes a humble vegetable like the eggplant and turns it into a crunchy, warm and Italian inspired meal. Big yum!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
