Copy Cat Recipes – A Great Time Saver For Your Busy Life
I often hear people say they don’t cook at home because it takes too long and they just don’t have time. Every time I hear this it makes me want to tear my hair out. I live a hectic life, yet I manage to find time to cook every day. Often I am making the exact same dishes that you get in your favorite restaurants. Restaurants depend on being able to serve a large number of people in a timely manner. Their dishes need to be simple to prepare and fast to cook. Having a good collection of restaurant copy cat recipes has made it so much easier for me to cook at home.
Restaurants used to be a crutch for me, I always figured they were a time saver. I wanted to cook but I just didn’t have the time, or so I thought. I discovered copy cat recipes entirely by accident one day while searching the internet for a different way to make pizza. I stumbled on a copy cat recipe for Olive Garden Pizza Bianco. I’m listing it below so you can see how simple it is to make.
Copy cat recipe: Pizza Bianco
Ingredients:
2 6″ Ready-to-serve thick pizza crusts
Cheese filling:
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup shredded fontina cheese
1/2 of a medium onion minced
1 1/2 tablespoon 2% milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
Toppings:
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/3 cup diced black olives
1/3 cup chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
Directions:Combine all ingredients for the filling in a large bowl and mix well.
Split the filling in half and spread on each crust.
Sprinkle olives, tomatoes and green onions over crusts.
Then the Mozzarella gets sprinkled on top.
Finally Sprinkle the top with oregano and basil.
Bake in a 375F oven for 8 to 10 minutes until cheese has melted.
Cut into 6 wedges.
Well it took me less than 30 minutes to make that copy cat recipe. You will easily spend that long driving to the restaurant and waiting to get a table, let alone have food on your table. Don’t forget about having the bill at the end of the meal and the tip. Not to mention the gas to drive there and back. Not only does it take more time to eat out but it ends up costing you a lot more in the long run.
With a good cookbook full of copy cat recipes you can eat restaurant food at home and it is both faster and less expensive. With practice you will find you can prepare several copy cat recipes at once with ease. I frequently make an entire meal for my wife and I including appetizers, main course and a desert in under 1 hour. Restaurant copy cat recipes have saved me time and expense by giving me a way to enjoy all my favorites easily at home.
