Add to favorites
Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) and Zola To GO! recipe. Super Easy!
Servings: A serving size is 1 cup
Ingredients:
- 4 leeks, cleaned, sliced into narrow rings (white part and light green part only)
- 3 – 5 tomatoes, sliced
- 1 tsp of Italian herb blend
- 2 Tbl of crushed crumbs from breadsticks or crackers
- a light dusting of cayenne (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Oil the bottom of a 9″ x 13″ heat-proof pan with olive oil spray. Spread ½ of the leeks in the bottom. Top with half of the tomato slices. Dust on the tsp of Italian herb blend. Layer with the other half of the leeks and the other half of the tomatoes. If you are going to put on the cayenne for zip, dust it on now. It won’t take much. Be careful.
Sprinkle on crumbs. Spray one more time with olive oil spray and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the crumbs begin to brown. Ready to serve.
Each portion on the diet would amount to up to 4 slices of tomato with the accompanying leeks as a side dish. 1 cup total.
This dish will re-heat just fine in a microwave or oven if you’re taking it to work or another event.
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.

A traditional holiday classic.
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.
Chive Butter Biscuits
This is a combination of a few recipes I found. Love the fact that these are low carb and tasty!

Turkey Tips
Many people think the Thanksgiving turkey dinner is the most intimidating meal to make. It's not. Here's some rules to follow.
What size tomato are you using in this recipe? Big heirloom size or Roma?
It doesn’t really matter what kind of tomato you use. Your serving size will be the same. In the picture it’s a regular tomato. Big ones. You can use Roma for sure. Some people think the taste of a roma is more robust. I’d agree when they are roasted. So you choose.
