Insanely Good Marinade

Z2 Sauces & Dressings

My husband loves this marinade. I used to marinate steaks in just soy sauce and olive oil with a bit of Worcestershire sauce but not anymore!

Steak Kebabs

Z2 Beef

Depending on how you cut your veggies and arranged them on the skewers you might be having more than one kebab. Your meal on sticks!

You could call this the “adult version” of Sloppy Joes. It does have some ZIP to it. Don’t be intimidated by the length of the ingredients list. The recipe is worth it. And you probably have most of these ingredients in your pantry.

Waldorf Salad

Z2 Appetizers & Snacks,Z2 Salads,Z2 Vegetarian

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.

Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Fresh Plum Sauce

Z2 Pork

A dish that is easy to make for a weekday meal, but you could also serve this to guests, and no one would guess this is diet food.

Asian Chicken with Veggie Slaw (ZReduction Version)

Z2 Poultry,Z2 Salads

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.

Seared and Roasted Burgers

Z2 Beef

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.

BBQ Ranch Sauce (Smear) for Burgers

Z2 Sauces & Dressings

This will go well with beef burgers or even ground chicken breast burgers or grilled chicken breasts; even a steak.

Chicken with Creamy Sundried Tomato Sauce

Z2 Poultry

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

Lime-Cumin Vinaigrette

Z2 Sauces & Dressings

This makes a mild but flavorful dressing to accent anything Mexican or Southwestern. If you want it spicy you can add a dusting of cayenne before blending.

OJ in a Magic Bullet

Z2 Beverages

Traditional orange juice is not allowed on Plan Z because when you remove all the pulp (the fiber) what's left is a whole bunch of sugar. But, if you have a magic bullet or a high-powered blender, you can enjoy a liquefied, blended orange - as long as you blend the whole orange and don't strain the pulp.
