Z2: Entrees

All the ingredients spend a lot of loving time together in the pot to make an amazingly simple and flavorful soup.

Dieter Jessica made this meal on one of her first days of ZReduction. It was so delicious she wanted to share it with everyone.

It’s all the rage in the big city. Have a runny egg on top of your burger. Well, you can do that in ZReduction too! I just ate mine and I’m stuffed!

This is very close to my mother's meatloaf recipe. I used to serve this with mashed potatoes and corn when I wanted comfort food. Not Anymore! I also used to say that if I ever ended up on death row and they asked me what I wanted for my last meal, this would be it. It’s such a BIG YUM and brings back fond memories.

Dieters rave about taco salad. This one is my new favorite.

Summer grilling is not over yet. This one can be done on the grill, in the broiler, or follow my lead to sear it and roast it in your oven. The last option is used by French restaurants who serve steak.

Get out the grill! This is one way the Italians do steak. I took a Food Network recipe and Zolafied it to come up with this option for a healthy steak dinner.

Makes for a great steak. In the picture I served it with shallot onion rings as a garnish and veggie on the side. You can still have a salad with this too and be within your allotment for ZReduction.

You don't have to go to a steakhouse to get these. Lamb chops are MUCH easier to cook than chefs make them out to be. Super easy!

I redesigned this recipe to incorporate cream to make a smooth sauce that will remind you of an old spaghetti house. Just no spaghetti.

There was a restaurant in the late ‘70’s called Hillary’s. I used to get a craving for Hillary burgers so I ate them often so I decided I could make my own. This is the result.

The balsamic reduction sauce enhances the flavor of the lamb, making this a delightfully delicious gourmet meal.

Feels just like you are eating in the French countryside.

So today you can “Enjoy a Bowl-a-Zola.”

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

My nephew tried his first one just the other day. He’s the one that declared them "Churgers." Really, they are ground chicken patties, but "churger" sounds so much more hip.

Two of my favorite Cajun dishes are etouffee and Marengo. Like lots of Cajun food they are basically stews. Simple, flavorful meals.

These little meatloaves transport very easily. They can be taken to work for lunch, or a picnic in the park. I hope you enjoy them!

Fans of Mexican food will love these. Easy to make and perfect for heating leftovers. Give them a try.
