You will not believe how easy these are to make and how wonderful they taste! Once you start eating these “fries” you’ll never miss the other ones.

This recipe was contributed by Plan Z dieter Darlene. Great idea! Super easy.

Parmesan Crackers

Make these crackers when you have invited a friend over for a glass of wine and you want to have a little snack on the side.

Turkey Roll-Ups

This is a recipe that can made by a supervised child or a helper. It's basically assembly work. Your time is then freed up to work on the other things. It took me about 30 minutes to do 30 rolls.

Caramelized Roasted Garlic

You will want to roast the garlic until it is lightly golden on the edges and the timing depends on your oven, the size of the garlic and the amount of oil you use.

Parmesan-Reggiano in the “Raw”

There's only one ingredient in this recipe. The success is in the quality and the presentation. Cooking rookies and gourmets in a hurry can't beat this one for ease.

Bacon-Wrapped Prunes

Okay, this sounds weird but they are really quite tasty. A bit of salt with your sweet!
