Copy Cat Chili’s Jamaican Paradise

March 13, 2013 By Tammilee Leave a Comment

Copy Cat Chili’s Jamaican Paradise! Right now I am dreaming of being on a tropical beach with my toes in the sand, listening to the waves break, with a frosty drink in my hand! Doesn’t that just sound like absolute paradise!

This is a picture from our last trip to Hawaii! We love visiting A-Bay and taking sunset pictures. The Big Island is one of our favorite places to soak up the sun and have a tropical vacation. I lived on the island for a while in college and love going back to visit. There is nothing quite like dipping your toes in warm water and watching the sun go down.

February 26, 2013 By Tammilee 1 Comment

This Copy Cat Chili’s Calypso Cooler is down right amazing! This is my new favorite cocktail! This drink tastes amazing and you honestly do not realize you are drinking alcohol. This is one of those drinks you have to be careful how many of them you enjoy.

This Copy Cat Chili’s Calypso Cooler has me dreaming of sitting on a beach with my feet in the sand listening to a calypso band. I am dreaming of the sun, beautiful turquoise water, white sand beach and great music.

I can’t wait for summer to make this drink in a huge carafe and serve it during a get together. It is the perfect hot weather drink. This drink recipe could easily be made for a crowd.

Copy Cat Sonic Cherry Limeade Recipe

February 19, 2013 By Tammilee 1 Comment

I love making restaurant favorites at home. This Copy Cat Sonic Cherry Limeade is so easy to make and such a great treat. I am adding this to our favorite Copy Cat recipes including Copy Cat Orange Julius, Copy Cat Texas Roadhouse Butter and Copy Cat Hostess Chocolate Cupcakes.

Making recipes at home is a great way to get the treat that you want without spending a ton of money out. We are really focused this year on making sure we are not spending a ton of money eating out. It is so easy to end up with a $50 bill without even trying. I am excited to try new recipes and cook at home instead of eating out all the time.

Copy Cat Olive Garden Breadsticks Recipe

January 29, 2013 By Tammilee 4 Comments

I am pretty sure Olive Garden Breadsticks are one of the most amazing treats out there! I don’t know about you but I eye stalk the breadsticks until the waitress brings them to our table. My eyes follow the bread sticks around the restaurant until a nice warm basket is set down in front of us to enjoy.

There is nothing quite like biting into a warm yummy Olive Garden breadstick and just enjoying it. Here’s the thing though we rarely treat ourselves to dinner at Olive Garden. We are incredibly focused this year on keeping with our budget and paying off our car. I have been on a mission to make our favorite restaurant treats at home.

This week I decided to make Copy Cat Olive Garden Breadsticks and let me tell you this recipe is dangerous! I seriously mean red warning lights, caution tape dangerous!

Copy Cat Orange Julius!

January 22, 2013 By Tammilee 4 Comments

I am a huge fan of Orange Julius’s the only problem is I struggle to pay full price for them. They are a couple time a year treat at most. I just can’t bring myself to pay $4 for a drink. I decided to see if I could make a copy cat Orange Julius at home. I tried a couple of recipes before I found one I really liked. I was a bit worried that it called for 2 egg whites but they ended up being just what the recipe needed.

I used generic $1.00 a carton orange juice from Walmart when I made this recipe. I was a little worried that it would not taste right but it ended up working out great. I really like how creamy and fresh this drink tastes. I can’t wait to make them on a hot summers days. I am also thinking about making popsicles out of the Copy Cat Orange Julius. I think they would be the perfect summer treat. Can you tell I am already dreaming of warm summer weather.

Copy Cat Texas RoadHouse Butter

January 8, 2013 By Tammilee 10 Comments

We love going out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. My favorite part of the meal is the warm rolls and butter. The Texas Roadhouse butter is just so good! I decided to try and make a copy cat Texas Roadhouse butter since the closest restaurant is 45 minutes from us. This butter is amazing! I am going to fully admit that not long after the picture above was taken the rolls were gone. This recipe is super easy to make and such a wonderful treat!
