Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe contributed by Plan Z dieter Darlene. Great idea! Super easy.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1-1/2 Tbl of garlic salt
  • 2 tsp of Tabasco Sauce
  • 4 cups of unsalted peanuts

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.

Meanwhile, melt the butter, then stir in the spices and pour over the unsalted peanuts.  Bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes.

After cooking place on paper towels to absorb the excess butter and allow to cool.  I let mine set overnight before placing in a container.

At Christmas, I really missed Chex Party Mix! So, I stirred up the seasoning and poured it over a gallon can of mixed nuts. Followed the instructions on cooking in the oven, cooled on paper towels. It did take a little longer for the nuts to absorb the seasoning, but it was worth it. I had the taste of the party mix without the carbs!

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Roasted Prime Rib

When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!

Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach

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

Cranberry Royale (EASY)

This is a takeoff of a cranberry bake recipe from Southern Living. This is homey, tasty, and not too sweet. Just a little cranberry twang but plenty of sweetness in the apples.

Chive Butter Biscuits

This is a combination of a few recipes I found. Love the fact that these are low carb and tasty!
