This is a great comfort food. Make a big pot and pack it up for lunches on future days for a nice hot meal on a cold day.

This dish re-heats just fine in a microwave or oven if you're taking it to work or another event.

This is a great picnic dish or summer grilling party.

You can make these in a large batch and store leftovers in the refrigerator. They reheat well and can travel well too. Eat them hot or cold.

This is a meaty chili with some veggies tossed in for crunch factor. Makes a satisfying lunch.

I serve this over shredded lettuce to make a larger salad.

On a hot day this makes an amazingly satisfying lunch or dinner.

Salmon hash can be enjoyed warm or cold. It will transport to work in a container quite well.

This is a very fast meal to prepare. It can also be enjoyed cold as part of Zola To GO!

Crab cakes are a fun way to splurge. These are healthy and a bit on the zippy side with the Cajun seasoning. You can make yours less spicy if you’d like.

This is a very light, Mexican meal. It’s great on a hot day… or anytime you have a hankering for fish tacos or a trip to the beach.

This can easily be reheated at work for a Zola To GO! meal and some might even like it cold.

This recipe uses one of my favorite seasonings, but I hesitated to list this ingredient because of its name. It’s really spelled like the swear word. Special Sh*t. I know some would be very entertained by this and others would be appalled by the vulgarity. I use mine OFTEN. It’s great on meat, fish, veggies and more. I even use it to season nuts as a cocktail snack. I hope you enjoy it, too.

Serve with tomato slices and a salad and you have a nice meal. These are also good as Zola To GO!
