While cutting the grocery budget and still trying to feed the family a healthy diet, it seemed that most of our 'temptations' were for the treats we would get when we had been used to eating out. So I started a massive test kitchen effort to recreate them with a healthy and budget friendly twist.
.
I've been doing a series of healthy & cheaper 'eat-out-treats' made at home and sending it out through my monthly newsletter. Each recipe costs about 1/2 the price of eating out (not to mention gas money) and is a much healthier alternative to the traditional recipe!
.
It started with a whole grain remake of Macaroni Grill's Rosemary Bread, then I remade a healthy version of Red Lobster's Cheddar Biscuits and now I've finally I have decided which recipe is next:.

Hardees Cinnamon Raisin Biscuits, complete with frosting!! (Plus some other variations)

When I come to an end of this series, I'm going to move on to some 'convenience foods' made healthy!
