Z2: Entrees

This is my favorite, simple way to cook salmon. If you want to jazz it up you can also make my tzatziki sauce. Yum.

A traditional Waldorf salad has grapes or raisins and lots of walnuts -- but it doesn’t have to. This one worked great as a side dish. Be sure to cut your fruit portion for this meal in half.

This looks like a lot of ingredients, but you’ll see it’s sort of a dump and cook recipe. Not difficult at all. If you love making Asian food you probably have many of these ingredients in the house. 

My favorite technique for cooking low-fat burgers is to quickly sear the burger and finish it by roasting it in the oven. Here’s the recipe for seared burgers that are then oven-roasted.

This is one dish I never thought I could pull off for ZReduction. But here it is! And it's delicious.

This award-winning chili recipe won best Verde Chili by the International Chili Society in 2018. "Texas Chuck," the creator of this awesome recipe, made this chili using Mild Bills Spices (in case you're trying to get his authentic flavor).

Tuna salad on top of a salad? Let's do it!

Dieter Sarah eats tuna salad to help her lose weight on ZReduction. This is her "magic" recipe.

This delicious recipe was submitted by dieter Nicole. She served it with pork chops and roasted tomatoes. Thanks, Nicole for the inspired dish!

Since leafy greens are unlimited you can double (or triple) the amount of greens used in this recipe if you want to make it stretch.

When you are in the ZReduction portion of Plan Z you will not be eating the skin of the chicken or any of the dark meat. Breast meat only.

I have decided the grilled Chinese eggplant tastes better than potato chips! Even better than French fries! And it’s so easy.

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

Easter is the perfect time to make this. Sea bass is probably the most wonderful fish on the planet. It's taste is out-of-this-world.

What better time to have a spicy chili than when I am in lockdown, practicing social distancing. 

Okay, so I opened my pantry and saw a jar of roasted red pepper strips. I thought… I could make a new chili with these! So here you have it.

This simple Italian Soup is packed with flavor and convenience. It travels well and heats in the microwave too. Leftovers are a BIG YUM.

This dish made a wonderful lunch salad entrée in our Plan Z kitchen. I think it would be GREAT as an appetizer at a cocktail party, too.

This is my favorite new creation. I think I have made this three times in the last two weeks and that’s pretty much a record for me.

Coffee on a steak? Heck yes! This combo is a steak-house classic that will leave your mouth watering for more but won't keep you up all night from a caffeine buzz.
