Creole Soup (with or without protein)

This soup is super easy to make.  If you are a fan of southern food this will hit the spot.

Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach

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

Grilled Italian Veggies with Steak

This is super easy. A great summer entrée that comes together in a flash.

Chicken Verde

This is going to taste just like a traditional enchilada without the tortilla. If you have Mexican food fans in your family this is a hit!

Ranch Chicken

This chicken is super moist and yummy. The ranch dressing gives it a gourmet feel without any work at all!

International Steak Marinade

A great but simple marinade contributed by Dieter Insider Amy.

Grilled Baby Lobster Tails with a Shallot Tomato Salad

Fancy on the budget, fancy on the fare, light on the calories, and delicious in the air! This dish will make you feel spoiled, even when you are on a diet.

Creole Meatloaf

This is a wonderfully moist meatloaf. It has a kick from the Cajun spices but not all that much and you can adjust according to taste. This transports well to work.

Balsamic Chicken (Braised or Slow Cooker)

This is a super easy meal to make; made even easier by doing it in your slow cooker. Simple Italian.

Barbecue Meatloaf

I had a hankering for ribs. I ordered some as an appetizer at a restaurant and they just didn’t cut it. I could not get the craving out of my head, so I came up with the barbecued meatloaf recipe.  Hope you love it. 

Chicken Chili – Caribbean-Style

A spicy no bean chili that packs a flavor punch! Add spinach for extra vitamins and color.

Paul’s White Fish with Sauteed Vegetables

Tasty white fish and vegetables has been a regular part of my ZReduction regimen. My favorite is starting with a 6-8 ounce mahi-mahi fillet AND a 6-8 ounce hake fillet purchased frozen in big bags at Costco. This results in a “double batch” meal with the second half going in the fridge to bring into the menu flow a day or two later.

Bacon and Veggie Quiche

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

Italian Burgers

To make this burger taste extra special, consider topping it with a soup spoonful of spaghetti sauce. You can find one with no sugar in the spaghetti sauce aisle.

Sausage Chicken Gumbo

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

Frito Meatloaf

This meatloaf makes six servings. When you serve it, remember that your crunch item is already included, so no breadstick or crackers with this meal.

Fish Kabobs

These fast and fun kabobs can be made with any of your favorite ZReduction approved spices.

The Deconstructed Chicago Hotdog in Honor of the 2016 World Series Champs – The Chicago Cubs

It took the Cubs 108 years to win the World Series. It only took VP Anger Management 7 years to “invent” this recipe.

Grilled Tuna with an Asian Flair

Tuna is a hearty piece of fish full of antioxidants and protein. This meal will leave you full and satisfied.

Chicken with Citrus Gremolata

Gremolata, by definition, is a chopped herb and citrus condiment. Super simple and so fancy sounding.
