Cranberry Sauce “Zolafied”
Who doesn't love cranberry sauce. Happy holidays!
Cheesy Green Bean Casserole
A traditional holiday classic.
Green Bean Casserole
Just like the one your mom made, only healthier. Everyone loves the green bean casserole. Here I'll show you one one that doesn't take much longer to make and it’s real food, not processed!
Dauphinoise Potatoes (aka Potato Gratin)
This is a wonderful potato casserole from the southeast part of France. Works great on a buffet too if you like room temp potatoes or have a chafing dish. For the LOWEST glycemic index, make this dish the day before you serve it.
My Best-Ever Stuffed Mushrooms
Just in time for football season or any other partying event. These won’t last long on your platter.
Creamy Leek and Onion Casserole
This is a decadent side dish. When I serve it, people at the table often ask me why this tastes so unique, so we play “guess the secret ingredient”…. Answer is the nutmeg. This dish goes well at dinner parties and holiday celebrations. It makes a perfect side dish for your upcoming holiday dinner.
Cheddar Cheesy Poof Biscuits or Crackers
LOVE these cheesy bits for an appetizer. They go great while you are sipping your wine.
Butternut Squash Mash
Just in time for the holidays or anytime! If you have a hankering for potatoes this will give you the same texture in your mouth and a party on your tongue! Choose the squash every time and change the traditions in your family for the better.
Caramelized Brussels Sprouts with Pepperoni Bits (or Bacon)
Another Happy Healthy Holidays classic. This is so easy it almost feels like cheating.
Creamed Onions with Raisins
This is one of my husband’s favorite holiday recipes.
Cauliflower Pancakes
The other day, potato pancakes came to mind and I they could probably be made with cauliflower. Turns out they can!
Exotic Egg Salad
This is great as a light lunch time meal and a great holiday recipe. The juxtaposition of the sweeter apricots with the curry has the exotic taste I was looking for.
Cauliflower Mash
The touch of nutmeg in here really makes the dish. Try this as a substitute for mashed potatoes. It’s really quite delightful
Butternut Squash Roasted in Coconut Oil
This recipe is SUPER simple and SUPER BIG YUM! I don’t crave potatoes anymore but I can develop a craving for this stuff!
Creamy Cauliflower
This recipe was submitted by Plan Z dieter Debbie. Debbie says, "Here is an idea for Thanksgiving. Many of us have had this before, but wanted to share it again."
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.
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.
