Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. If you want a cold meal and don’t feel like eating meat, cottage cheese is an option as a protein supplement. Ricotta cheese will work, too. Then a salad on the side with veggies makes a perfect compliment. This also makes a wonderfully light and healthy dessert.

This recipe was contributed by Dieter Susan in Chicago. Thank you, Susan!

Servings: Serves 2 as an entrée, 4 as a dessert

Ingredients:

2 cups of cottage cheese or ricotta cheese
2 tsp of Truvia
2 tsp of vanilla
2 cups of berries (strawberries, blackberries, raspberries or blueberries)
sprinkle of nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice

Instructions:

Blend the cheese, Truvia and vanilla in your food processor until smooth and light.
Layer the fruit and the berries in a pretty dish. Sprinkle on spice.

Store in the refrigerator, covered, until ready to serve.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

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!

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.
