Z2: Entrees

A dish that is easy to make for a weekday meal, but you could also serve this to guests, and no one would guess this is diet food.

This award-winning chili recipe won best Verde Chili by the International Chili Society in 2018. "Texas Chuck," the creator of this awesome recipe, made this chili using Mild Bills Spices (in case you're trying to get his authentic flavor).

This simple Italian Soup is packed with flavor and convenience. It travels well and heats in the microwave too. Leftovers are a BIG YUM.

The flavor and aroma of this dish will bring a little bit of the Italian countryside to your dinner table. Try it out tonight with your family.

This is an easy and tasty meal that comes together in a jiffy. Big Yum!

This a great, crustless quiche that can be eaten as a lunch or light dinner with Plan Z.

This comes together in a flash and tastes just as good as the recipes that cook for hours.

This dish comes together quickly. Two pans and voila. If you don’t like spicy food you can leave the cayenne out. It does give a nice little zip to the sweet cherries though so you might consider leaving it in or just cutting it back.

You'll give your mouth a sweet and spicy kick with this Southwestern inspired dish.

This is an easy preparation with a homey vibe, when you want comfort food this is a sure bet.

This is easy and very elegant. You can serve this to company and they’ll never know you’re on a diet.

One pot meal! The gravy is wonderful and the roasted veggies bring out a ton of flavor. Be sure to scrape up the bits on the bottom of the pan in the cooking process.

Another great option for the holidays.

This dish tastes like it’s right off of the country farm in Fall. But don’t let that stop you from eating it any other season too.

This super easy comfort meal is a cinch to make. Even novice cooks can handle this one! And it’s so yummy.

You are not seeing things! I managed to take one of the most fattening and sugar-filled Chinese dishes on the planet and came up with a substitute that got raves at the office.

I typed up this recipe as a serving for six because most pork tenderloins come packaged in twos these days. Be sure to get the unseasoned ones.

This tastes amazingly like the real Southern dish. It’s zesty and the cabbage will give you crunch along with your pork.

This is comfort food at its finest. The pork tenderloin with the cumin on it lends a bit of an exotic flavor; like Indian food.

A recipe that tastes “very French country” in Zola’s words. Contributed by Plan Z dieter, Mike, this can be made with pork loin or chicken breast halves and is a big hit.
