About Us — Simply Copycat Recipes

Welcome to Simply Copycat Recipes, your home for easy, approachable, restaurant-inspired recipes you can make in your own kitchen. If you’ve ever tasted something at a fast-food spot, a casual chain, or a regional favorite and thought, “I wish I could make this at home,” you’re in the right place.

This site is dedicated to recreating the flavors people love—crispy appetizers, iconic entrees, bakery-style desserts, nostalgic regional favorites, and the dishes you can never resist ordering. We focus on:

  • Clear, step-by-step instructions
  • Simple ingredients most home cooks already have
  • At-home versions that capture the flavor and experience of the originals
  • Food-safety guidance so you can cook with confidence
  • Optional shortcuts, dietary swaps, and weeknight-friendly methods

Our goal is to make copycat cooking fun, stress-free, and totally doable—whether you’re feeding your family, recreating a favorite from childhood, or trying something new that you spotted on a restaurant menu.
