Hi Friend,

Cold weather has a way of sending us back to the recipes we know and love. The ones that warm the kitchen, fill the house with good smells, and feel just as satisfying the second or third time you make them.

These copycat recipes are the kind you come back to all winter long. They’re comforting, familiar, and perfect for slower weekend cooking or relaxed dinners at home.

Here are a few cold-weather favorites worth repeating:

• ​Olive Garden Chicken Alfredo​ - Creamy, rich, and one of those dinners that always feels like a treat on a cold night.
• ​Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi ​- Garlicky, buttery, and surprisingly easy to make at home for a cozy dinner.
• ​Outback Steakhouse Alice Springs Chicken​ - Juicy chicken topped with bacon, cheese, and honey mustard sauce. A true comfort classic.
• ​Olive Garden Minestrone Soup​ - Hearty, vegetable-packed, and perfect for chilly evenings when you want something warm and satisfying.
• ​Golden Coral Pot Roast​ - the ultimate comfort food, this tastes better the next day
