Create a special, restaurant quality meal right in your own kitchen with this collection of Restaurant Quality Dishes You Can Make at Home. These recipes cover the spectrum from casual to elegant and include a variety of different cuisines to satisfy any craving!
I hope you’re all holding up and keeping well in these strange times.
If everyone in your household is working from home, or just home period, you might notice how the days just seem to blur together. It’s hard to even know what day of the week it is when that structure of the work week is gone or is just not as rigid as it once was.
Last week I shared my favorite Easy Pantry Staple Recipes, but it’s the weekend, friends, and I thought it would be nice to share this list of restaurant quality recipes to give you some inspiration to create a special meal at home. Regardless of the circumstances of the world, we still have birthdays, anniversaries, babies are being welcomed into the world, and college admission letters are being received (congratulations to our son, Adam!). These things should not go unnoticed. And, even if it seems there is nothing to celebrate, cooking a special meal will just make it feel more like the weekend. We may not be able to visit our favorite restaurants for the time being, but we can make it a fun Friday or Saturday night and cook an extraordinary meal at home.
I put the word out to to the food blogging community and they responded in force with some of their favorites. You’re sure to find something in this collection to satisfy your cravings for the restaurant dishes you’re missing most.
