• White Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese (Panera Copycat)

    I stumbled upon this White Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese by accident. Well, wait, not the macaroni and cheese part, that was intentional, but being a Panera copycat, that part I wasn't expecting. I've been wanting a stovetop macaroni and cheese recipe for years. My go-to has always been that famous blue box which I still love, but today I wanted a gooey, cheesy, rich pasta that only comes from the real deal.

  • Hands up if your McDonald's nugget order includes hot mustard! While not exactly the same, this Hot Mustard Sauce is an extraordinary substitute for the real deal in a pinch. Easy to make and fantastic as a dip, sauce and spread on anything your mustard-loving heart desires.

    Hot Mustard Sauce (McDonald’s Almost Copycat)

    I'm a HUGE fan of McDonald's Hot Mustard Sauce. It's my top choice, if they don't have hot mustard, I will switch my entire order for something that doesn't require dipping. I have been really lucky out here, though, most of the time it's available, I do cross my fingers when I order because that well could run dry any day. So, to avoid the mustard sauce draught, I decided to come up with my own version. This way when I open that takeout bag and the mustard is missing, I'm already covered!

  • I'm embarrassed to tell you how many hours I've spent trying to find this recipe online. Mini Cheese Biscuits, may not be exactly Jim 'n Nicks famous biscuits, but they are close enough that my family ate an entire batch in one afternoon. Give them a try and let me know how close you think they are!

    Mini Cheese Biscuits (Jim n Nick’s copycat)

    Since moving to the South, I've been loving the barbecue out here! It's so so good. We pick up a tasty smoked meal from Jim n Nick's at least once a month, but my favourite is the Mini Cheese Biscuits you get with your order. They're insane! So good! There are never any left. They disappear like hotcakes. It's a must! I decided with the world shut down and our family cooped up in our cozy home, it was time to recreate these biscuits.

  • A craveable copycat wrap for a lunchtime win! Honestly, I don't make wraps very often. But this Sierra Turkey Cranberry Wrap has me making the rolled sandwich on repeat. Turkey, cheddar, lettuce, cranberries and cream cheese, get wrapped together and dipped in a sweet onion vinaigrette to create an undeniably delicious lunch!

    Sierra Turkey Cranberry Wraps (Boars Head copycat)

    I have the Kroger Deli to thank for this recipe. Our family goes through just shy of two pounds of luncheon meat a week. My husband loves the Boars Head Blackened Turkey, the boys and I love honey ham or pastrami if I'm feeling really indulgent (it's my fav). One busy Saturday morning, I was out doing the weekly grocery run. The line up with a little longer than usual, so I browsed the pre-made sandwiches and there it was Sierra Turkey Cranberry Wraps.

  • No boring salads here! Jim n Nick's Copycat Pulled Pork Salad is just like the original. Seeing as I only ever order this salad (and extra cheese biscuit) I knew I had to recreate this at home. It's loaded with pulled pork, bacon and cheese. But it doesn't stop there add in fresh tomatoes, cucumber, toasted almonds and homemade croutons and you've got a salad that doubles as a full meal!

    Jim n Nick’s Copycat Pulled Pork Salad

    Ok, I know I said no more salads, well at least in my mind I did! I had all intentions of taking a break from the green stuff. I've been making salads left and right and it feels like every new salad creation is just a little better than the last one. And I'm pretty sure this Jim n Nick's Copycat Pulled Pork Salad might just be the best one yet.

  • Sausage & Crispy Brussel Sprout Flatbread is a combination so good, it's crazy! I sat on my kitchen floor counting down the 14 minutes for this to bake. Crispy Brussel Sprouts get toasted to perfection, complimented by juicy sweety drop peppers (a must!), creamy goat cheese and fennel sausage. OMG, I'm drooling just thinking about it. My only dilemma is whether I should call this an appetizer or a meal.

    Sausage & Crispy Brussel Sprout Flatbread

    You guys! I literally sat on my floor, in front of my oven watching this Sausage & Crispy Brussel Sprout Flatbread bake. I sat there like a little kid watching cookies, or like every baker on the Great British Baking Show at one point or another. And watched and waited, checked the timer and waited some more. Really, it was only 14 minutes, but it felt like a lifetime. I could not wait to sink my teeth into this flatbread and it was so worth the wait! This is crazy good.

    How to Make Classic Whistle Dogs

    Oh the glorious whistle dog, I feel like they deserve a national holiday. This is nostalgia at its finest. There's really nothing fancy about them, but somehow they always seem to taste better than any other hot dog out there. Did you grow up with an A&W nearby? Have you had a whistle dog? These bad boys were a favourite amongst so many! A&W no longer sells these, but don't fret, I'll teach you How to Make Classic Whistle Dogs that will bring you right back to the original.
