 20 of the Best Restaurant CopyCat Recipes

Before I got married, I ate at restaurants every single day of my life. Heck, I was a waitress when I met BigBear, so I spend a HUGE amount of my time working in a restaurant and eating when I could.

I didn’t cook and I wasn’t sure I had an interest in cooking other than making the occasional vegetable soup or casserole. I could make cupcakes and cookies from pre-made mix but that was pretty much as far as I went with baking. Restaurants equaled food for me haha.

So what happens when you eat at restaurants every day? You become broke as hell and your pants fit a little more snugly … I mean, You fall in love with their menu items! haha

Once I started to teach myself to cook, I used restaurant menu items to practice my cooking! I would pick our favorites from menus and try to recreate them at home! I know it’s super easy to just order take out but man, oh man is it awesome when you can create those favorites at home!

I love the Farmer’s Market and Farm to Table meals but I’m also not ashamed to use canned vegetables and baking mixes. It’s all about balance! I’m so glad y’all are here!
