Famous Restaurant Recipes

Recently I have started a diet and I am finding some amazing recipes so hopefully this will be updated more often.

My first diet recipe is a delicious, nutritious, and quick breakfast “shake” for those who are concerned about energy and carbs.

Ingredients

1 Blender or Blender Bottle for a quicker breakfast
1 Cup coffee – Preferable cold, if not add a few ice cubes
1 Serving of Designer Whey Protein Powder (Use Whey isolate as it’s lets calories/sugar/carbs (and protein) than normal Protein Powders
1 tablespoon of Flaxseed Oil or Fiber
1/2 Cup of a Milk of your choice. I use Almond Breeze unsweetened Vanilla (only 20 calories for half a cup!)

Instructions

1. Make 1 cup of coffee, you can use instant. I use a k-cup in a Keurig Machine
2. If your coffee is not a cold one, put some ice in it
3. add your 1/2 cup of milk
4. Add your flaxseed oil of fiber. If you are new to this I would recommend 1 teaspoon, especially if you have a long drive to work. You can build this up as you go on
5. Add your protein powder
6. Shake/Blend
7. Drink and go. I normally “chug” mine fast. It’s a nice energy boost and keeps me full for a solid 4-5 hours, and I am a big guy.

Something I recently tried isn’t exactly a famous restaurant recipe but it is a famous recipe and that is the “Wedge Salad.”  The concept of the wedge salad is simple, a scrumptious, yet slightly healthy salad meal. Making it should only take about 15-30 minutes, however it should be noted that this is not the type of meal you can save for a “rainy day” in a Tupperware container in the refrigerator, this is a recipe that should be enjoyed immediately after it is prepared.

As August comes to an end and the Summer season is slipping away, maybe it’s time for one last BBQ. Want to spice that one last BBQ up? How about some delicious Olive Garden Sangria? Good thing I got the famous restaurant recipe for it, and more then willing to share!

Does the Summer heat got you yearning for a cold refreshing treat and there is not ice cream man in site? How about a frozen Popsicle to keep you cool? Sounds like a good idea right? The good news is you can make these refreshing treats at home, and healthier! The good folks over at The Kitchn inform us on how it’s done.

So it’s summer season, and School will be starting soon, so maybe it’s time to spice up the parties with a good tasting punch that will knock you out after a couple of glasses.

I normally make it in a 1 gallon container, you can scale to your desired size.

As mentioned in a previous post August is the perfect time to take the family crabbing, but what do you do when you catch the crabs (remember to abide by your state’s size limitations, and please no prego females!)? Well you can eat them, I mean they ARE delicious, maybe you steam them up with some DIY Old Bay seasoning or makes some delicious crab cakes reminiscent of the ones found at Red Lobster? Well then, how about a great famous restaurant recipe for Red Lobster Crab Cakes?
