5 Reasons Copycat Recipes are Better than Eating at Restaurants

By Bill Lane

Remember the last time you were in your favorite restaurant? Was there a line? Once seated how long were you anxiously awaiting the arrival of your favorite meal? Then there was that feeling when the waitress set it on the table. AAhhh, at last it was perfect? Or was it? Maybe it wasn't cooked just right. Or maybe it wasn't warm enough or a topping got left out? How was the feeling when you got the bill? Did Aahhh turn into Whhooo? Well I am going to show you how these pitfalls associated with eating out can be avoided. It's all through the use of using reliabe and tested copycat recipes. Do you want to know the top 5 reasons to make your favorite foods at home?

Cost Will you save any money using copycat recipes? Suppose you go out to eat with you significant other to your favorite restaurant. You all order 1 appetizer, 2 entrees and then you share dessert. Throw in a gratuity and some drinks and your bill for the night was somewhere between $55-$85. Now for less than half that price, probably closer to 1/3 of that price, you could have made the same exact meal at home. And it would have tasted the same. These times are tough financially and these savings add up. This all sounds great, but are we talking about a few recipes?

Variety Just about every popular restaurant has copycat recipes for their dishes. Not just one or two, I am talking about upwards of 30 or so for the bigger restaurants. And the restaurants are well known. Here are some examples: Olive Garden, Ruby Tuesday, Macaroni Grill, Cracker Barrel, Outback Steakhouse and many, many more. So, do any of these restaurant copycat recipes offer healthier options to substitute?

Health This is the great thing about using copycat recipes in your home. The exact recipe is provided but you can switch up any ingredients you like. If you are trying to give the food a distinct flavor or you are wanting to add some of your own vegetables you are in total control. You can even add lite or fat free ingredients if you are watching your weight or have allergies. You are given the precise steps but can definitely change it up at your convenience. How do we know these recipes actually taste like the real thing?

Quality These recipes are perfected by masterchefs. They are tested and tried and tested some more to make sure you are receiving the precise ingredients and directions to create these favorite dishes. If you wanted to, you could go on the internet and located several recipes that claim to be true copycats. They would even be free. And that is because they are not the real copycat recipes. Not even close. In the beginning I tried several and they didn't even taste that good. I will show you how to regain your freedom using the real copycat recipes.

Freedom Do you realize how much of your time and freedom is spent eating out. Can you get your favorite meal at midnight? Can you eat your favorite meal while watching your favorite show? For example, you drive to the restaurant, wait to be seated, wait to get your appetizer, wait to get your meal, wait to get your dessert and you guessed it, wait to pay your bill. So how much waiting have you done? 2 hours, 3 hours, more? Take back your freedom and your time and fix your favorite meals at home. Use these copycat recipes to make your favorite meal when you want it and how you want it.
