Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe.
This is a recipe that can be multiplied to feed the MASSES. And it can be left on a buffet and served room temperature for a few hours. Photo submitted by Plan Z dieter Nancy.
Servings: Serves 6
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of green beans
- 1-1/2 cups of whole walnuts
- 4 oz blue cheese crumbles
- Italian dressing to taste
Instructions:
Trim the green bean ends off. Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 3 minutes. Plunge in ice water so they quit cooking. Let them sit in the ice water for 5 to 10 minutes. Drain them so they dry off.
Later . . .
Mix the green beans, walnuts, and blue cheese in a bowl or on a pretty platter. Drizzle Italian dressing over the whole mixture a few minutes before serving. The amount of dressing depends on your personal taste. Some like it lightly dressed, some like their beans almost swimming. It’s up to you.
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.

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

I am gonna have trouble I cant eat spicy, I dont like tomatoes or onion ;(
Don’t worry, there’s still a lot you can eat. And, you can modify recipes to suit your taste, so if you don’t like tomatoes, onions or spicy food, you can leave those ingredients out. I think you’ll be ok with most recipes…except maybe chili…
