Sides & Veggies

Who doesn't love cranberry sauce. Happy holidays!

The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.

A traditional holiday classic.

Just like the one your mom made, only healthier. Everyone loves the green bean casserole. Here I'll show you one one that doesn't take much longer to make and it’s real food, not processed!

Talk about comfort food. This is the pure definition. Thankfully fat doesn’t make you fat so you can eat this at parties and not feel the guilt.

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

This is a wonderful potato casserole from the southeast part of France. Works great on a buffet too if you like room temp potatoes or have a chafing dish. For the LOWEST glycemic index, make this dish the day before you serve it.

Just in time for football season or any other partying event. These won’t last long on your platter.

This is a decadent side dish. When I serve it, people at the table often ask me why this tastes so unique, so we play “guess the secret ingredient”…. Answer is the nutmeg. This dish goes well at dinner parties and holiday celebrations. It makes a perfect side dish for your upcoming holiday dinner.

LOVE these cheesy bits for an appetizer. They go great while you are sipping your wine.

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.

Dieter Debbie has mastered air fried veggies on ZReduction, and shared this with the Plan Z Facebook group. It's simple, and delicious and can be ready in a jiffy. We're posting it here for everyone to enjoy. Thank you, Debbie!

Just in time for the holidays or anytime! If you have a hankering for potatoes this will give you the same texture in your mouth and a party on your tongue! Choose the squash every time and change the traditions in your family for the better.

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

This recipe was submitted by Plan Z coach, Pearl. She loves kale and makes this recipe often.

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!

This is one of my husband’s favorite holiday recipes.
