Favorite copycat recipes to try at home?

[WatchingThemGrow]

Do you have any restaurant dishes that you'd like to try at home? Maybe something you've bookmarked and never done or one you do a lot? We just made Outback Alice Springs Chicken, and it was a hit. I'm looking for any types recipes from restaurants...side dishes included!

Try this copycat of PF Chang's Mongolian Beef. It's been a while since I made this, but we really liked it. (Thanks for the reminder, actually-I will definitely be using up some CSA beef from the freezer these next few weeks and will plan on this!). I reduced the amount of sugar and it was less sweet than the restaurant version, but still really tasty and seemed a bit healthier.

This recipe is a pretty good match for Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana (disclaimer that I no longer live near Olive Garden so haven't eaten there in several years!) https://flolum.com/zuppa-toscana/

These copycat Red Lobster biscuits are super easy and soooo good https://www.melskitchencafe.com/cheesy-garlic-drop-biscuits/

And these are so close to Starbucks cranberry bliss bars https://www.melskitchencafe.com/orange-zested-cranberry-white-chocolate-bliss-bars-a-slightly-lighter-version/

We love that Mongolian beef recipe that a PP posted, too!!

This tastes like sesame chicken from a local restaurant.

Can you share the recipe please. ��
Yes, sorry! https://www.bhg.com/recipe/alice-springs-chicken/

Excited to try these! While I wonder how long we will all tire of cooking at home, this is a blessing in that it's a perfect time to teach our young ones to help in the kitchen and to learn along with us. I may start declaring "youth night" here and there so they do they whole meal.

To go with it, a copycat of Peter Luger's Creamed Spinach.

I am definitely going to try that Chicken Chili recipe from Cheesecake Factory.

I love arrabiata sauce and this is my favorite homemade recipe for it:

Usually, morning begins in my family with muffins and hot chocolate for children and toasts with aromatic coffee for adults. My husband a few years ago bought me a good coffee machine in order to make delicious coffee, but this year I want to convince him that we need a more modern coffee machine. I found in this article https://www.perfectbrew.com/reviews/best-latte-machines-for-your-home/ a description of the latte coffee machine and since I love latte, I want to cook it at home. I think that this year our family tradition of morning will change a bit and everyone will be able to try delicious latte in the morning.

This is on the menu for tonight. DS1 loves sauce. Wondering if I should double the recipe or if there will be extra following the recipe as is. Does anyone know? TIA

It s been a while, but from what I remember I’d double it if you want lots of sauce. Good luck!

Thank you! It was a huge hit. I ended up doubling the sauce. It was great and I think there’s enough sauce to make a bit with chicken for leftovers.

So funny...after I replied to your post I was inspired and we had a chicken version since I had chicken breasts on hand but not beef! The beef is better I think, but chicken was definitely tasty and a bit lighter!
