They take minimal prep/cook time and will be on your dinner table in a flash. You can’t beat that!
1. Panda Express Chow Mein Copycat –Tastes just like Panda Express except it takes just minutes to whip up and tastes a million times better. Done and done. [GET THE RECIPE.]
2. PF Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps – Believe it or not, this comes together in just 20 minutes from start to finish.[GET THE RECIPE.]

4. Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce – Easier, cheaper, and healthier than the restaurant-version. Plus, you can add in your favorite protein without skimping. [GET THE RECIPE.]
5. Panda Express Sweet Fire Chicken Copycat – Crisp chicken bites with red bell peppers, fresh pineapple chunks and a sweet and sour chili sauce – a winning flavor combination. [GET THE RECIPE.]
6. Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana Copycat Recipe – This copycat recipe is made even better with the addition of crisp bacon bits. After all, how can you go wrong with bacon?[GET THE RECIPE.]

Do you happen to have the recipe for TGIF’s Chicken Artichoke Soup? My daughters and I used to love going there and pairing it with their vanilla cheesecake slice to share. They have not offered it for quite some time and back then, they only offered it in the winter months.

I make your copycat chow mein recipe at least once a week. I usually double up the veggies and sometimes add bits of bell peppers or other bits from the Fridge. Great use of celery that’s getting a little wilted for example.
Love your posts

TGI Fridays used to make a creamy chicken pasta that had artichokes, dried tomatoes and I think bacon. I can’t remember the name. Would you happen to know the name and have the recipe?

There is no Olive Garden where I live; viewed your recipe for Pasta e fa*gioli several months ago, tried it and loved it!! Hearty, healthy and delicious.
Thank you.
Would you, by chance, have a recipe, “copy cat” of course, for Red Lobster’s “cheddar cheese biscuits”?
