Yogurt with Fruit and Nuts
Okay. This seems so simple. Everyone wants a fast breakfast or snack. Your kids will be giddy with this as their breakfast or their after school snack.
Creamy Leek Pie
This recipe makes a yummy vegetarian lunch or side dish to go with a protein. I also put it in Zola to GO! because it can travel to a buffet.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Cheese
During the last five minutes of roasting time for the Brussels sprouts pull the pan out and sprinkle on the bacon bits and the cheese. Put back in the oven for the last five minutes and the cheese will melt, the bacon will get warm and the sprouts will be ready to serve.
Balsamic-Roasted Exotic Mushrooms with a White Truffle Olive Oil Glaze
"Little plates" restaurants have become all the rage. At two different Chicago restaurants I ordered a mushroom dish that I loved so much I had to figure out how to make it.
Tomato-Zucchini Medley
If you are serving this dish with the salmon, place the salmon on the plate and then spread the tomatoes and zucchini around it for color.
Acorn Squash with Pecans
When I’m designing diet recipes I try to come up with ways to give you the experience of non-diet food so you don’t feel like you are missing your favorites. On the ZReboot portion of Plan Z you can enjoy this squash and hopefully you won’t even miss the brown sugar in the traditional version.
Asparagus Flan
This look great and perfect to serve over the holidays to impress your guests.
Green Bean Salad
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.
Beetroot, Carrot and Zucchini Salad

This makes a quick light appetizer that's pretty in the summer. Or it can be a side salad or even an Italian side dish to go great with grilled summer foods.
Onion-Poblano Saute
This is mild, full of flavor and a huge hit around my house. It would also be wonderful served with a steak or a meaty fish, too.
