Salad Dressing Challenge

My wife loves the dressing in this kit from Fresh Express. We buy it at Publix, not sure if it's available elsewhere. Who's up for a challenge? I can't seem to find anywhere to buy this "Smokey Bacon" dressing, other than the Smokehouse Chopped Salad kit from FE.

Anyone interested in trying to copycat the dressing?

Debbie’s Christmas tree cake?

Looking to see if anyone found a recipe close to the little Debbie Christmas tree cakes and frosting? I loved them as a kid but the added chemicals I think in them now make me sick to my stomach.

Sizzler’s Clam Chowder and Salad Bar Chicken Wings

Hi y’all, the Sizzler near me closed down a while back and I used to go there often with my dad when I was a kid. My dad lately has been talking about how he misses Sizzler and I wanted to surprise him with his favorites from there. If anyone knows any recipes similar to the clam chowder and/or chicken wings please let me know! Thank you :D

Polly’s Backburner Soup

I looked everywhere for a copycat recipe of Polly's Back Burner soup and there were no mimic recipes anywhere. So, I made a batch myself and thought I would share my recipe for anyone looking. I bought a cup of the soup at Polly's and compared as I created the recipe. It is VERY close.

Polly’s Backburner Soup

Ingredients:

7 pcs Bacon (diced)

1 Cup Celery (diced)

1 Cup Carrot (shredded)

2 Cups Onion (diced)

2 Cups Potato (diced) 

6 tsp Knorr Chicken Bouillon Granules (or similar)

8 Cups Water

8 oz. Diced Ham

1 16oz. Can Pinto Beans (do not drain)

1 16oz. Can Black Beans (do not drain)

1/2 tsp Each of Seasonings:  White Pepper, Smoked Paprika, Garlic Powder

Fresh Herbs, 2 good sprigs each:  Parsley, Thyme, Oregano

2 Cups Dried Pasta Shells 

Method:

In large soup pot with heavy bottom, brown the bacon just until crispy. Do not drain fat unless it is overly excessive, it is needed for flavor. Once bacon is starting to get crispy, add the onion, celery, and carrot — cook for additional 10 minutes.  Add bouillon granules, garlic powder and the white pepper. Give it a stir. Next add the water, potato, ham, fresh herbs, the pinto beans and black beans. 

Simmer on low heat for around 2 hours, until ingredients are very well incorporated. Stir occasionally.

About 15 mins before serving, add the dry pasta and cook until tender. Alternatively, you can cook pasta separately and add it when you serve.

Pulp juice - The Pink Dragon recipe

Please, if anyone has the recipe, share it here. I absolutely love this drink, but all the other recipes online don’t even come close to the ingredients used in this one. This drink is so good, and I rarely get to go over there because I don’t have time to drive.

Ivar's Clam Chowder

Was stationed in Bremerton WA at the end of my USN Submarine career. Used to head over to Seattle all the time and it always included a stop at Ivar’s for their insane clam chowder. Anyone have that recipe or damn similar? It was thick and full of clams. I still judge all by this one! Thanks!!

Request: Maggiano's mushroom ravioli sauce

My wife LOVES the sauce for the mushroom ravioli at Maggiano's, so I'd like to add it to my cooking repertoire to surprise her =]

It's some kind of mushroom cream sauce with balsamic in it. Beyond that I have no idea...

Japanese Restaurant Salad Dressing?

Okay so, as the title says, this is a salad dressing I had at my local Japanese restaurant. It had this almost nutty flavor like peanut or cashew, my partner mentioned an “earthy” flavor. But when I called, they told me it was a house dressing and it had carrot puree, mayo(probably kewpie) and garlic or onion powder??? They insisted there was no nut in it whatsoever. How should I go about trying to make this? I’ve been craving that salad non-stop ever since but it’s $9 for a small portion.
