The Taste of Austerity: Copycat Recipes

We are regulars at the recipe box for our favourite coopycat recipe: Houston's Grilled Chicken Salad. Now we've found 10 more recipes to make at home (and let's forget austerity for a moment; this means healthier, too).

The list comes to us courtesy of Food.com, and you can go directly to the article here to see them all. We pick the most promising five (and the five we'll be making in the next two weeks). *

So to recap: make it yourself instead of going out. It's less expensive and much healthier, and you have plenty of money leftover to buy yourself even more wine at Majestic (again, paying retail instead of restaurant prices).

P.F. Chang's Mongolian Beef

Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits

* Aside from the pancakes, we've never had any of these dishes. But that's not going to stop us from making them.
