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!

Chef Jernard’s Holiday Collard Greens

Celebrity Chef Jernard Wells knows soul food. While a lot of his food is quite decadent, he also loves greens, and shared his wonderful southern greens recipe in a local interview. What's great about it is it can easily be modified to fit ZReboot. His original recipe calls for sugar, but by replacing the sugar with your favorite sugar substitute, you can still enjoy this delicious recipe. 

Straight-forward Roasted Turkey

Have a Happy Thanksgiving. Concentrate on laughing and telling fun stories with your guests and let the stress melt away.

Cincinnati Chili (EASY)

This is a famous chili that probably should not even be called a chili. It was invented by two brothers who emigrated from Europe in the 1920’s. Of course, they lived in Cincinnati. When finished this will look sort of like chili but it’s served on spaghetti. There are no beans and it’s not spicy. It’s flavorful for sure, but not “hot.” Don’t let the list of ingredients throw you off.

Angela’s Shortcut Ratatouille

When you need some serious cold weather comfort food, ratatouille hits the spot. This shortcut ratatouille-inspired recipe was submitted by dieter Angela. She Zolafied the original recipe and created a delicious ZReduction veggie sauté that can be made in less than half the time of a traditional ratatouille.

Braised Red Cabbage

For all you cabbage lovers out there, this recipe is a ZReduction take on a German classic. While you can whip this dish up in about 30 minutes, red cabbage tastes sweeter the longer you cook it -- so if you are on ZReduction and like your cabbage a little sweeter, cook it low and slow until the flavors mellow and meld to your liking.

Sun Dried Tomatoes

No need to salt them. No need to season them. They will be delicious and have PLENTY of flavor. 

Chow Down On Chili

Chili is the perfect pack-and-go food. It’s easy to eat and tastes even better the next day. The chilies in the chili will keep your tummy warm, too.

Roasted Garlic

You could also add some of this roasted garlic to a batch of cooked green beans or asparagus for a nice flavor combo.

Balsamic Chicken (Braised or Slow Cooker)

This is a super easy meal to make; made even easier by doing it in your slow cooker. Simple Italian.

Easy and delicious roasted red potatoes, with onions and balsamic vinegar! These are great on a buffet served hot or room temp. I use them for cocktail parties too.

Dieter Emily sent us this easy to make crock pot weeknight recipe. Emily says, "when I came home from work, it smelled heavenly! This soup has so much flavor and is also quite filling!"

Slow Cooker Southwestern Chicken Chili

Add a kick to your weeknight meals. Just let the crock pot do the work and you'll have a South of the border dinner in a cinch.

One pot meal! The gravy is wonderful and the roasted veggies bring out a ton of flavor. Be sure to scrape up the bits on the bottom of the pan in the cooking process.

French Crock Pot Rib Roast

Feels just like you are eating in the French countryside.

Beef Over Noodles

Our Plan Z “cafeteria” smelled just like Grandma’s house today. This beef over noodles recipe is a hit. Serve this when you have family around at holidays or other times when there’s a crowd.

Italian Crock Pot Stew

This dish is very easy to make. All you have to do is brown the meat and then time adding the mushrooms. Walk away from your crock pot and dinner will cook itself.

Curried Chicken in a Crock Pot

A good dessert with this would be chilled mandarin orange slices dusted on top with cinnamon.

Chicken Mamou

One of my favorite Cajun meals is chicken mamou. Mamou in Creole is basically grandma. So this is “grandma('s) chicken.”

You can also have a salad on the side with a few bits of celery and cucumber.

Italian Pepper Steak in a Crock Pot

This is a great crock pot recipe. Super simple but really tasty.

Tomato Steak Stew

Made this tonight and was very happy with it – it would count as your vegetable and your meat although you could definitely add a green salad. I found it to be very filling.
