If you have been to the grocery store lately you will have seen that a lot of the famous restaurants now sell boxed or frozen versions of your favorite restaurant recipes. Macaroni Grill for example has boxed pasta dishes in they pasta isle, T.G.I. Friday's has frozen meals, On The Border serves their appetizers and so on.
Honestly I have tried a lot of these quick and easy meal solutions to your favorite restaurant recipes. Although they are still quite tasty they still do not compare to the cuisine that you would enjoy at your favorite restaurant.
Along with the close but not exact taste the portion size becomes a problem. If you go to T.G.I. Friday's and order their Firecracker Peppercorn Shrimp Skillet you will pay about $12. If you buy the frozen bag it will cost you $6, half the price seems like a good deal until you open the bag. Their isn't enough to fill up more then one person, so you would have to purchase 2-4 bags depending on the size of your family. Sure this is a huge discount compared to going out to eat, but you are still spending a great deal of money just to enjoy your favorite restaurant copycat recipe.
Most restaurant recipes can be created at home for a fraction of the cost it would either cost you to go out to eat, or buy the pre-made brand at you local grocery store. If you went to Red Lobster and ordered their Shrimp Scampi you can expect to spend $13 not including the tip, but if you make it at home you can expect to spend about $1 per serving.
To make Red Lobster's Shrimp Scampi is a quick and easy copycat recipe. It includes a pound of shrimp, white wine, butter, garlic and linguine noodles. Most of these ingredients are staples in any kitchen pantry. A pound of shrimp from the local seafood counter at a grocery store will run you around $6 for the jumbo shrimp, a box of noodles around $1 and the rest is probably in your pantry. You can easily prepare this recipe at home for minimal cost and the same restaurant recipe taste funny.
The most imitated restaurant recipes are so simple to prepare as usual weeknight recipe. As I said, most ingredients are already in your pantry, so no additional cost is required. If you have a particular recipe from one of your favorite restaurants love, find the recipe online and then try to make your own kitchen, I'm sure it will not be disappointed. Secret Restaurant Recipes is possible for a simple family dinner night, or for usenight and day with that special someone. Make your favorite recipe, with candlelight and not worry about time that someone special instead of the account at the end of the evening.
