About CopyKat
About Me:
Hello! My name is Stephanie Manley, and CopyKat.com is my creation. I
love to cook, and I have been posting copy cat style recipes online since 1995.
I started cooking when I was young, very young. I started cooking when I
was about 4 or 5. Scrambled eggs was the first dish that I cooked. I had to push
a chair up to the stove to cook. My Mother, was a brave lady. She commented
that I would often burn myself, but she figured I would stop doing this eventually.
I grew up in rural area, and going out to eat, meant a several hour commitment
for anything other than a local restaurant. Learning to copy recipes was done so
we could recreate restaurant tasting food at home.
In college I put myself through college through various jobs. I spent several
years working in a variety of restaurants. This combined with undergraduate
degree with a minor in chemistry really helped my ability to recreate restaurant
favorites at home. In addition to recreating recipes I have spent several years
brewing beer and wine, so I love to experiment with food and beverages.
How do I create recipes?:
A lot of experimentation. Recipes are developed based upon ease of
obtaining ingredients, if something is too hard to obtain at your normal local
grocery store it isn’t likely that this recipe will be attempted. Recipes need to
contain real food, no recipes like fake movie butter are done, as that is more
of science experiment than something you can eat on a regular basis. I have a
group of people that recipes are tested on, these poor souls feel tortured, and I
am grateful to them, they have a tough job.

McDonald’s Shamrock Shake
Ingredients:
2 cups vanilla ice cream
1/4 to 1/2 cup half-and-half
4 to 6 drops mint oil or mint extract
2 to 3 drops green food coloring
Whipped cream, for topping
Prep Time 10 Minutes
Cook Time 10 Minutes
Serves
1
Instructions:
Allow ice cream to soften for about 10 minutes so it will
be easy to blend. Combine the ice cream, half-and-half, mint
oil, and food coloring in a blender and puree for about 30
seconds. Serve immediately, topped with whipped cream.
If you want to go dye free, just omit the green food
coloring—it tastes just the same!
McDonald’s Version
CopyKat says:
McDonald’s Shamrock Shake is one of their bestknown menu items. This minty ice cream treat makes an annual appearance for
St. Patrick’s Day. If you wanted to make one yourself, you can do so any time of
year now.
This ice cream drink is so easy to make. You just need
a couple of ingredients. Some recipes online I have
seen ask for mint extract. That is pretty good to
use, but if you use a food-grade, quality mint
oil, the flavor is well incredible. You could also
use milk, but I promise if you use half-and-half,
you are going to have one rich and creamy
milkshake.
Before starting this recipe I like to let my
ice cream sit out on the counter for a few
moments. This way it is a little softer and will blend
more easily. You may want top your shake with
cookie crumbs, such as Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies,
CopyKat Version
or even a sprig of mint if you want to make this look fancy.

CopyKat says:
Taco Bell Pina Colada Cooler is a refreshing drink
Taco Bell Version
that Taco Bell is serving up this summer. What can beat
a refreshing drink during the hot summer. If you like Pina Coladas you are going
to love this new drink. It is fruity, light, and fresh. I would imagine if you had
some extra rum around the house, and
it found its way into this drink it would be
refreshing.

Pei Wei Version
Instructions:
Slice beef very thin. Place meat between sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat
tenderizer and gently pound meat into uniform pieces.
Place corn starch in a bowl and dip steak pieces into corn starch and shake off excess
corn starch. Allow the corn starch dipped pieces of meat to rest
for 5 t0 10 minutes so the coating sticks to the meat.
In a wok, heat vegetable oil and sesame oil. Saute
beef until just done, and the outside begins to crisp.
Remove meat from pan. Once all of the meat has
been cooked and removed from the pan, add
minced ginger and garlic. Saute ginger and garlic for
approximately 60 seconds, the remaining oil should
become very fragrant. Add soy sauce, water, Maggi
seasoning, brown sugar, and rice wine vinegar. Stir
until the sauce thickens, return meat to pan, and add
quartered button mushrooms to the pan. Cook for another
60 seconds or so and add the chopped scallions.

Wendy’s Chili
Ingredients:
2 pounds fresh ground beef
Prep Time
1 quart tomato juice
Cook Time
1 (29-ounce) can tomato purée
1 (15-ounce) can red kidney beans, drained Serves
1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, drained
1 medium-large onion, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup diced celery
1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
1/4 cup chili powder (use less for milder chili)
1 teaspoon ground cumin (use more for real flavor)
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
15 Minutes

Wendy’s Version
Instructions:
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef. Drain off the fat. Put the beef and the
remaining ingredients in a 6-quart pot. Cover the pot and let the
chili simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes. You
can also cook this in a slow cooker on low for 3 to 4 hours.
CopyKat says:
Wendy’s makes this classic recipe fresh
every day, and you can do the same. Tomato
juice really enhances the flavor of this chili, as
does the chili powder, though you may want
to start off with a little less chili powder. I find
that 1/4 cup isn’t too hot, and is still very flavorful.

Honeybaked Ham
Ingredients:
1 10-15 pound spiral cut ham
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 blow torch
Prep Time 10 Minutes
Cook Time 35 Minutes
Serves
8
Instructions:
In a small bowl combine sugar, pumpkin pie spice,
and garlic powder. Mix well. Remove ham from package,
and do not pat dry. Place ham on a large baking sheet.
Sprinkle sugar blend over the ham, coating well.
Quickly wave the blow torch over the sugar coating,
not staying in any one place for too long. Be careful not
to allow the sugar to burn, move the flame on quickly if the
sugar begins to brown and smoke. Once you have a thin
Honeybaked Version
layer of hardened sugar on the ham, sprinkle on more, and
touch with the flame to build up the crust.
If you prepare the ham ahead of time, do not wrap with plastic wrap. If you wrap with
plastic wrap the sugar crust will come off. Store loosely covered with foil before serving. This
whole process takes about 30-45 minutes. Be sure to move slowly
and be patient, and you will have great results.
CopyKat Version
CopyKat says:
One suggestion I have is to prepare this
inside of your house, do not prepare this
outside, it is often windy outside, and you will
find that your blow torch will go out all of the
time. I am using my blow torch from the Home
Depot. It was inexpensive, and works great. You
can buy those gourmet ones, but they are three
times the price. I have the philosophy why spend
money when you don’t have to.

TGI Friday’s Jack Daniels Grill Glaze
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 cup Jack Daniel’s Ole No. 7 & Tennessee Whiskey
2 cups packed brown sugar
1/4 cup water
2 beef bouillon cubes
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Prep Time 15 Minutes
Cook Time 15 Minutes
Serves
1
Instructions:
Combine ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Let cool. Use as a
glaze on meat, poultry, and seafood just before removing
TGI Friday’s Version
from grill.
To prepare chicken breasts using Jack Daniel’s grill glaze: use 2 (4oz.) breasts for each
serving. Marinate chicken in your choice of marinade for 5 to 10 minutes. Place chicken on
the grill or in a saute pan. While cooking, baste often with marinade. When cooked to your
satisfaction, brush liberally with glaze. Remove immediately to a serving dish. Glaze burns
quickly and can be difficult to remove from grills or pans if left to
burn onto surface.
CopyKat says:
This tastes just like the glaze made famous
by TGI Friday’s. The Jack Daniels Glaze goes
well with meat; we enjoy chicken, steak, and
even pork steaks with this recreation. You can
make this recipe easily out of a few ingredients
that you already have in your pantry. You may
want to double this recipe, as our version of the
TGI Friday’s Jack Daniels Grill Glaze goes fast.

Panda Express Cream Cheese Puffs
Ingredients:
Vegetable shortening or oil, for frying
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions
Garlic powder (optional)
Wonton wrappers
Prep Time 10 Minutes
Cook Time 15 Minutes
Serves
10
Instructions:
Heat enough vegetable shortening or oil to fill 2 to
3 inches in a medium pot to 350 degrees F. If you have an
electric fryer, you can use that.
Beat together the cream cheese and scallions.
If desired a touch of garlic powder may be added for
additional flavor. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of cream cheese
mixture onto a wonton wrapper. Fold the wonton by
brushing a little water over all of the edges of the wonton
Panda Express Version
skin. Fold the wonton diagonally into a triangle. Be sure to seal
all of the edges completely; this will keep the filling from running out of the wonton when being
cooked. Take the two opposite corners and press and twist them together. You may need to
tack them together by brushing with a little water.
When the shortening is heated, you can use a
thermometer and test to see that it is 350 degrees F, or you
may test with a small piece of wonton wrapper. If the
wrapper bubbles immediately when dropped into the
hot fat, it is ready. Drop only 4 or 5 pieces at a time into
the hot fat. After about 1 minute, the wonton will begin
to brown, then it will brown rapidly, so be careful to
remove it when it is lightly browned. If your oil is shallow,
you may need to flip over the wonton. Carefully remove
the wontons and drain briefly on paper towels before
serving.

half-and-half is incorporated, add the broccoli and processed cheese. When the cheese is
completely melted, add the chicken broth 1 cup at a time, stirring occasionally, until soup
is well mixed and has a consistent texture. Add the carrots and
simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir in the cheddar cheese and
cook for 10 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper
to taste. Serve when all the cheese is fully melted and
blended through.

CopyKat says:
Panera’s broccoli cheese soup is a favorite
of so many of us. This creamy, cheesy soup is
perfectfor a hearty lunch. This is easy to make—
just take frozen broccoli, fresh carrots, and
two types of cheese to make this soup. You can
purchase bread bowls from the grocery store—then you will have broccoli cheese soup just like at Panera.

pan. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes, shaking pan
occasionally for even color. Remove from the oven.
Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the onions, carrots,
and scallions. Cook, stirring from time to time, until the

aside.
Heat another large skillet or a wok if you have one.
Add a splash of oil and swirl it around. Pour the eggs
into the hot skillet. Cook as you would scrambled eggs.
When the eggs are barely done, add the vegetables,

sauce. Stir-fry until everything is mixed and hot. Season with
salt and pepper to taste.

powder and half of the confectioners’ sugar. Mix on the
slowest speed the mixer has. Mix in the remaining sugar 1/2 cup at a time, until all the sugar
is mixed in. Turn the mixer up to medium and beat until smooth and creamy. This should take
about 5 minutes. If the icing seems too thick to spread, beat in up
to 1 tablespoon milk to loosen it.
CopyKat Version
CopyKat says:
Publix Buttercream Icing is known to be
one of the best buttercream you can get
in a grocery store. For years, people have
requested a buttercream icing that tastes just
like the one they use in Publix supermarkets.
Everyone needs to have a dependable and
good tasting icing in their personal library,
because not all of us are fortunate enough to live
in an area where we can go down to our local Publix and purchase some of their famous icing.

Cracker Barrel Strawberry Shortcake
Ingredients:
1 frozen or pre-made pound cake
1 pint of frozen sweetened strawberries
1 scoop premium vanilla ice cream
1 can whipped cream
Prep Time 10 Minutes
Cook Time 10 Minutes
Serves
1
Instructions:
Assemble strawberry shortcake by cutting two slices of the pound cake and then slicing
those in half.† In a bowl, place the 4 pieces of pound cake
across from each other. Spoon defrosted strawberries onto
cake; add one scoop of vanilla ice cream and top with
whipped cream.
While the Cracker Barrel may use frozen strawberries,
I really like fresh much more. I think you can jazz up this
recipe by using fresh strawberries, fresh whipped cream,
and if you are up for it, a homemade pound cake.
CopyKat says:
Cracker Barrel Version
Go back in time with an old-fashioned
treat like the Cracker Barrel Strawberry Shortcake. No longer a secret, you can
now make a Cracker Barrel Strawberry Shortcake, a
summertime dessert, at home. There are two ways
to make the Cracker Barrel Strawberry Shortcake:
you can use the quick and easy method, or

way you make the Cracker Barrel Strawberry
Shortcake, your dessert will be delicious.
