ZS-Holiday,Z3-Appetizers & Snacks,ZSpecialties,Z3-Vegetarian
Talk about comfort food. This is the pure definition. Thankfully fat doesn’t make you fat so you can eat this at parties and not feel the guilt.

Colorful Peppers with Zip
Z3-Sides,Z3-Appetizers & Snacks,Z3-Vegetarian
Things like peppers are popular at Italian little plates restaurants. I’m offering you a recipe for mine here. Mine have a bit of an after-burner kick to them.
Balsamic-Roasted Exotic Mushrooms with a White Truffle Olive Oil Glaze
Z3-Sides,Z3-Appetizers & Snacks,Z3-Vegetarian
I ordered this dish at a restaurant in town. It was so good I said, “I have to figure out how to make this myself!” It was that wonderful.
Chive Butter Biscuits
ZSpecialties,ZS-Dieter Favorites,Z3.5-Sides,ZS-Holiday,Z3.5-Appetizers

Dark Chocolate Peanut Clusters
ZSpecialties,ZS-Zola to Go,Z3-Desserts,ZS-Holiday,ZS-5 Ingredients or Less,Z3-Appetizers & Snacks
These are delightfully decadent treats. A word of CAUTION: Treat them like candy!

LOVE these cheesy bits for an appetizer. They go great while you are sipping your wine.

Can’t get any easier than this. Toss all of the ingredients in a bowl and serve with your protein hot off the grill!

Puff Pastry Cocktail Cheese Straws are the perfect party appetizer! One that goes great with strolling drinks. Drink in one hand, cheese straw in the other.
Fireside Shrimp Dip
ZS-5 Ingredients or Less,Z3-Appetizers & Snacks,ZS-Holiday,ZSpecialties
I found a recipe very similar to this one about 15 years in an old Southern cookbook. I have made a few changes to “Zola-fy” it. This goes over BIG at any party, and it's so simple!
Italian Shrimp Cocktail
ZSpecialties,ZS-5 Ingredients or Less,Z3-Seafood,ZS-Holiday,Z3-Appetizers & Snacks
This is what I call cheating when I’m in a hurry. I use my favorite bottled Italian dressing as the marinade and everyone thinks I put so much effort into this really pretty dish.
Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
ZSpecialties,ZS-5 Ingredients or Less,ZS-Holiday,Z3-Appetizers & Snacks
In addition to being crunchy, satisfying and delicious, pumpkin seeds are a nutritious snack. You can buy shelled pumpkin seeds in the grocery store (also know as pepitas), but when pumpkin season rolls around, you can buy a fresh pumpkin, scrape out the seeds, and toast the whole seeds yourself. YUM!
Shrimp in a French Lemon White Wine Cream Sauce
Z3-Seafood,Z3-Appetizers & Snacks
This is an elegant meal you can serve to company or even just for a romantic meal at home. I served this with haricot vert (roasted French green beans). That kept the meal totally low carb.
Southern Tomato Pie
ZSpecialties,Z3.5-Appetizers,Z3.5-Vegetarian,ZS-Holiday,Z3.5-Sides
Two things I love about living mid-South: fried green tomatoes, and tomato pie.
Egg Drop Soup
ZS-Dieter Favorites,Z2-Soup,ZS-5 Ingredients or Less,Z2-Appetizers & Snacks,Z2-Eggs,ZSpecialties,Z2-Vegetarian
This soup is a staple at Chinese restaurants. It is filling, delicate and delicious. Unfortunately, one of the ingredients in most restaurant egg drop soup recipes is MSG. The recipe below is an MSG-free version of the traditional classic, so it won't taste exactly the same, but we think it's just as delicious.
Lois’ Green Salsa Verde with Tomatillos
Z2-Appetizers & Snacks,ZS-5 Ingredients or Less,Z2-Sauces & Dressings,ZSpecialties,ZS-Dieter Favorites
A spicy and refreshing salsa can jazz up any dish. Dieter Lois shared this recipe for her ZReduction-friendly salsa verde. She whipped up a batch to put over her eggs, but this would be good on just about anything.
Dave’s Grilled Anaheim Peppers
Z3-Sides,Z3-Appetizers & Snacks
This recipe was submitted by dieter Dave, who is an avid gardener and serious grill-master. He grows his own peppers and likes this recipe because it is so simple - and always delicious. Even though this recipe calls for Anaheim peppers, you can use any type of pepper that suits your fancy.
Crab-Stuffed Mushrooms
ZS-Holiday,Z3-Seafood,ZSpecialties,Z3-Appetizers & Snacks
My husband found this recipe and made it for me. It was delicious! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Shrimp Scampi (ZReboot Version)
Z3-Appetizers & Snacks,Z3-Seafood
What will take the longest with this dish is peeling and taking the shells off the shrimp. You want fresh shrimp though and I’ll teach you how to boil down the shells to make it super-tasty. A deeper flavor is the bonus.
