      restaurant copy cat recipes

      We moved out to the country and although living farther away from restaurants has helped our budget, sometimes we still crave a certain dish.

      It’s quicker now to whip up home-made versions than it is to load the family up and take them to town, so I’ve been collecting copy-cat versions of some of our favorite restaurant meals. We usually save time, calories and money by cooking them at home!

          organic breakfastThe following is part of an Organic Living Journey Guest Post Series now written by Mariana who has a mother’s heart and scientist’s brain.

          According to a reliable news source (Facebook), school is starting in a few places this week. For us, we’re finishing our first full week of classes. Readjusting our lives to the pace of the school day, hasn’t been too bad, but it is still an adjustment.

          Thanks to last week’s focus on lunch, the kids’ lunches have been healthy, varied, and (most importantly) packed the night before! This is a huge change for me. Last year, I was rushing around all morning, shoving food in baggies, trying to remember to feed each child before shoving them out the door 10 minutes late.

          One of my favorite changes is our new “order system”. Before the kids head to bed each night, I have them write down or dictate their breakfast, snack, and lunch orders. [Now, don’t think this is anything fancy. They know what we have available and chose from what I have on hand.] I tuck them into bed and head downstairs to pack lunches before watching my nightly BBC fix. Once I get in the groove and routine, I think I can cut down nighttime prep to about 15 minutes, hopefully. So far, this system has helped me pack better lunches, snacks and made mornings go very smoothly. Read More→

            Summers in South Carolina are really hot, and we love to treat ourselves every once in a while with something cold and sweet.  One of our favorite stops is always SONIC for their shakes.  Seriously, I’d stop at Sonic just for their ice I love it so much, but… the best is a milk shake.   This summer they added 25 new flavors and dubbed it “The Summer of Shakes”.

            They emailed me a month or so ago and asked me if I’d like a gift card to try the shakes and then some to giveaway to you.  Did they really think I’d say no to free milkshakes?  Turns out the gift card was more than just a fun treat it was exactly what the doctor ordered yesterday.  I went in to the dentist for what I thought was pretty routine and left having had gum surgery and put on an all liquid diet for a few days.  Enter my SONIC gift card.  As the rest of my family ate dinner it was very nice to have a milkshake and not just bland broth.  My soul was cheered and my tummy quite happy.  I can’t say you will have quite the excuse I did for a milkshake night, but we all need a break every now and then.

            If you haven’t made it buy to try these 25 new flavors, then you are missing out.  I’ll warn you, some of the flavors are interesting – like Peanut Butter & Bacon – but I’m sure that someone will love it.  I’m more of an Oreo Cheesecake kind of girl.  Some more of their milkshake flavors include Peanut Butter & Jelly, Chocolate Covered Strawberry, Banana Cream Pie, Caramel Shake and more.  Remember too if you go after 8 pm all the shakes are half price!!  Plus today only (8/15) all cheeseburgers are half price.  I’m thinking we might be headed back to Mama can get another shake for lunch (gotta enjoy the all liquid diet excuse as much as you can).

            The Giveaway:

            2 Southern Savers readers are going to win a $15 SONIC gift card along with summertime essentials, including a beach tote, beach ball, sunglasses and a beach towel.

            To Enter:

            Leave a comment below telling me which of the 25 SONIC shake flavors you want to try out this summer.

            The winner of this giveaway will be chosen 8/22 and posted to the Giveaway Winners Page.
            This giveaway is sponsored by SONIC, but all opinions are 100% my own.
