Easy Chinese Egg Rolls
“I don’t know what’s happening to all the Chinese restaurants in my town, but they’re all closing up! I’m originally from D.C. and love good Chinese food. I was jonesing for egg rolls and decided to try making my own. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did.” – Barbara
Crumbl Carrot Cake Cookies Copycat Recipe
“These copycat Crumbl carrot cake cookies are fluffy and kissed with a bit of spice. Then topped with a creamy cream cheese frosting.” – Debbie

Bogus Bang Bang Shrimp

Chicken Bites With Honey Mustard
“They say these taste like Chick-Fil-A nuggets. The honey mustard sauce is great! Now I won’t buy the kind in a jar.” – Dee
Shrimp Toast – My Way
“There is a Chinese restaurant here that has shrimp toast on its menu. I dream about it! Really! I just had to come up with a way to make this at home. So here is my version. The recipe looks like it has a lot of steps but this can be put together in less than 20 minutes and it makes about 24 pieces.” – Dawn
German Chocolate Cheesecake
“I recently dined at a restaurant well known for its cheesecake, and this is my recreation.” – Joan
Aussie Bite Copycat

Louisiana Carrot Souffle
“Great, light, fluffy carrots as served at a famous Louisiana restaurant!” – Janis
Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies
“This is my copycat recipe of Subway’s Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies. I think they are pretty close but I’m still perfecting it.” – Lauren
Potato Bacon Soup
“I was in search of a potato soup recipe similar to Rafferty’s famous potato soup to make for my husband’s birthday. After reading endless soup recipes, I finally took all my favorite parts from each recipe and came up with this one. It’s now requested at ALL family functions during the winter months.” – Amber
Baked “KFC” Chicken
“I am pretty sure that I have discovered the KFC secret recipe! It is dead on! It is also baked… not fried and there isn’t any skin.” – Sonnie
Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza
“I fell in love with the chicken bacon ranch pizza at Papa Johns, but it was too expensive. So I put my own twist on it, and I like mine better. Taste and cost wise!” – Elizabeth
Baked Beef Chimichangas
“I came up with this recipe because my husband’s favorite recipe is chimichangas from our local Mexican restaurant. But I try to stay away from frying too many things. So this recipe uses my slow cooker and the oven.” – Beth
Pepperoni Rolls
“These are a wonderful alternative to processed Hot Pockets Crunchy crust filled with gooey cheese and pepperoni. I made them last night and they were gone in like 60 seconds. I fill them with so much more than pepperoni. Try broccoli, ham, and cheese; baking time remains the same.” – Christine
Iced Mocha Coffee
“Do you like the Starbucks Frappuccinos? My husband is a coffeeholic. So in defense of our budget, I made up a recipe that tastes even better and more like coffee too.” – Virginia
Homemade Breakfast Crunch Wraps
“I saw something like this on a commercial for Taco Bell and thought the idea was great—handheld breakfast with a crispy outside. So I decided to make my own. I know the corn sounds weird, but the sweetness goes very well with the savoriness of the bacon and egg mixture.” – Leslie
Easy Orange Chicken
“One of my employees used to own a few restaurants and he told me the secret to making crunchy yet juicy fried chicken. It is the corn starch step. It really works. I served this at the beach last summer and my daughter and law said this might be the best meal I have had.” – Cathie
Strawberry Pancake Puppies With Cream Cheese Dip
“This is my version of Denny’s Pancake Puppies. Serve with the cream cheese dipping sauce or make a fabulous sundae with them. – Melissa
Glazed Cinnamon Drop Biscuits
“Fell in love with the double-glazed cinnamon drop biscuits at a famous restaurant. The biscuit was on a holiday breakfast platter.” – Paula
Hot Chocolate Peppermint Mocha
“This is sort of a copycat recipe… Have you ever tried McDonald’s Hot Chocolate Peppermint Mocha? Well, I have, and I wasn’t too impressed. So I went home and made my own and I think this is much better! This is a richer, creamier, and less costly version.” – Cathy
Zuppa Toscana (Thick)
“My kids love Olive Garden for their soups and breadsticks. But for a family of five that tends to be a bill of $65+ dollars to eat out for one night! I thought, turn Pandora on, play some authentic Italian music, and make some soup and breadsticks. They loved it. It was a major hit!” – Elizabeth
