Bakesale Betty's Fried Chicken Sandwich

Fri, 22 Feb 2008 20:29:55 -0500

From one of my favorite restaurants in Oakland. Grabbed this recipe from muffintop's blog when I got a hankering. Also made this sandwich using fried tilapia. Still good but I found that all I really wanted to eat was the coleslaw filling. Hope you have an appetite cause this is one huge sandwich. -- posted by ITsyBItsy

Cheddar Broccoli Chicken Skillet - Pampered Chef

I received an email this morning from my Pampered Chef Consultant and this is one of the recipes that was featured. Here is what the email said: September is National Rice Month - "Rice is a good choice for a healthy diet. It is a good source of complex carbohydrates and can help you achieve a reduced fat diet." --American Dietetic Association Rice protein, when compared to that of other grains, is considered one of the highest quality proteins. It has all eight of the essential amino acids, necessary building blocks for strong muscles. Rice is also a good source of other essential nutrients - thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, phosphorus, iron, and potassium.

Chipotle Mexican Grill Barbacoa Burritos

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 00:03:40 -0400

I received an email today from Ron from RecipeSecrets.net and here is what he had to say: Ron here from RecipeSecrets.net - hope all is well. When I used to work in NY city, I would eat lunch at Chipotle Mexican Grill at least twice per week. I simply loved their burritos and I was not the only one. The line would literally be out the door starting at 12:30pm. We would fax in our orders in advance to avoid the ridiculous lines - that was until other people caught on and began faxing in their orders also :-(. Even so, it was always well worth the wait. Here's a recipe from Chipotle which I'm sure you'll love. Special thanks to Kaci for posting this on the Secret Recipe Forum. -- posted by senseicheryl

Lodge Salad Like Smokey Bones

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 20:29:48 -0400

This is my favorite thing to order at Smokey Bones, a place popular for BBQ and watching sports. Darden Restaurants closed a lot of the locations and sold the rest to another company in 2008. This is my own copycat version of the salad, not an official restaurant recipe. This is very filling even as a vegetarian salad without the chicken or shrimp; at Smokey Bones they give you an unrealistically huge portion - making this recipe only serve four. Use any dressing you like; I really love Recipe#318828 however it's not an exact replicate of Smokey Bones' dressing. -- posted by ~Jen~

Campechana: Mexican Seafood Soup

Mon, 27 Oct 2008 19:00:41 -0400

Campechana is a Mexican seafood cocktail usually made of oysters, baby octopus, mussels, shrimp, squid and scallops.The seafood mix is prepared in its broth with vegetable juice, lime juice, ketchup, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, avocado and cilantro. Of course, jalapenos for the spicy kick (I only use 2 SMALL ones for flavor)! Tried this in a restaurant for $20 a bowl!!! I was able to find all these ingredients at Wal-Mart for under $35!! What you can't find in the mix purchase separately (my mix didn't have oysters, mussels or shrimp so I bought canned oysters, skipped the mussels and got frozen shrimp). This is in one word: SUBLIME. -- posted by Misses Wilson

Panda Express' Beijing Beef Copycat

My fiance is a Panda Express FANATIC. When they came out with Beijing Beef, my fiance would only order that item. Panda Express featured the recipe on their site, unfortunately, they have taken it down now.

Alternate Honey Barbecue Sauce With Riblets (Applebee's Copycat)

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 15:07:57 -0500

This is a recipe I originally found in the Recipe Link but it's also posted in various other cooking sites. I include this recipe here, because Honey Barbeque is one of my favorite sauces ever! Advice: Feel free to try the sauce with any piece of meat, other than riblets ( my personal favorite is chicken legs or chicken in general ) but avoid hard and chewy meat like beef (unless it's your thing). You need something soft, try pork. If you favor more spice than sweetness, cut down on the honey and increase the spice quantity for a sharp difference. Also, you can use 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of brown sugar, instead of molasses. By no means whatsoever, don't mix the sauce with the riblets in any stage of their cooking. Simply soak them in the sauce just before serving. Water and fat that meat excretes during baking will liquefy and spoil your sauce. You can cook them altogether in a deep frying pan though, just over low heat. Matches well with side dishes like french fries, coleslaw and very mild blue cheese or sour cream dip. Enjoy! -- posted by TheGlutton

Almost Like Cpk Greek Pizza

Tue, 27 Jan 2009 01:03:38 -0500

I REALLY like California Pizza Kitchen's Greek Pizza. It's light, refreshing and I found myself thinking about this pizza so much, I had to find a way to make it at home. This recipe is a work-in-progress and would love to hear your suggestions. I'm basing this recipe off of some of the information found here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080930103528AA7XB96 I obviously made tweaks here and there. CPK doesn't use Hummus, but I personally thought that would be good and was pleasantly surprised that it worked! You can obviously use Bread/Pizza Dough, but I don't have that kind of time after work so I did use store bought Flatbread/Pitas and Hummas. The Chicken can be marinated in the rub and/or cooked before hand. The Prep Time can also be reduced by chopping the veggies and making the Tzatziki sauce the night before. Serving size is negotiable. 2 6" pita pizzas is a serving in our house, but if you serve this with a salad you could probably go one each. Can be veggie just by omitting the chicken. -- posted by Tarteausucre

My tasty take on a Pittsburgh Original. I live just north of Pittsburgh, and not far form a Primanti's. We go there quite often, but when I want to save money or am really craving a sandwich, I just make one. Or course it's not as god as the original, but pretty darn close!

Super Suppers Parmesan Chicken With Creamy Sage Sauce

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:07:39 -0400

This isn't a copycat recipe. This is THE recipe from Super Suppers. If you've ever made it, you know you love it. If you haven't, well get cooking already! By the way, the original recipe calls for Campbell's White Cream Sauce (Bechamel), but it is rather difficult to find. If you cannot find it, just use recipe #61333 and shoot for medium thickness. -- posted by Zoesmama

Vegetarian Western Bacon Cheeseburger

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:07:16 -0500

I know, this sound weird. I've been a vegetarian for 5 years and there are some items I missed from my meat eating days. I was having a craving for a Carl's Jr. Western Bacon Cheeseburger one day and decided to vegetarianize it. This is super easy to make and tastes very much like the original. To save time and to make it taste more authentic, use onion rings from a fast food restaurant like Sonic. I prepared the burger while I send my boyfriend down the street to Sonic. Also, slightly burning the Lightlife Smart Bacon is what makes it taste like real bacon. -- posted by danakscully64

Granite City Inspired Meatloaf Recipe

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:28:08 -0500

I found this online and wanted to post it here. I just cooked it last night and it came out delicious. I served it with recipe #48289 and recipe #34382. My boyfriend loves Granite City's meatloaf and we really wanted to recreate it. He actually said this was better than GC's. This is what the original poster said about the recipe "This is my 2nd attempt at copying the Granite City meatloaf. It is not quite right, but I think a substantial part of it is close. The end flavor is certainly in the ballpark." -- posted by Chef #965467

The Yogurt Shoppe Cafe is in Columbus Georgia and was established in 1987. Ranch Chicken is one of the popular items on the menu amongst many other delicious home cooked meals. One of my friends came upon the recipe in a local magazine and was kind enough to share it with me so I just couldn't wait to share it with you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. -- posted by Bay Laurel
