McDonald's Hot Mustard Sauce.
2008-01-14 04:06:00
I finally got on the case to bring you the definitive kitchen clone for this one - and it's a cinch! Tie one hand behind your back and witness plain old ground dried mustard mixing it up with sweet and sour flavors in a saucepan over medium heat. The cornstarch wrangles around in there to thicken and stabilize while Captain Habanero pops in for the perfect spicy punch. Use it for dipping, use it for spreading, use it again and again, since you'll make about a cup of the stuff. And McDonald 's will be glad that we no longer need to hoard the little blister packs from the restaurants.1/2 cup water1/2 cup corn syrup1/3 cup plus1 tablespoon white vinegar2 tablespoons ground dried mustard4 teaspoons cornstarch1 tablespoon granulated sugar1 tablespoon vegetable oil1/2 teaspoon turmeric1/2 teaspoon salt10-14 drops habanero hot sauce1.

McDonald's Breakfast Burrito.
2008-01-14 04:01:00
It was in the late seventies, shortly after McDonald 's had introduced the Egg McMuffin, that the food giant realized the potential of a quick, drive-thru breakfast. Soon, the company had developed several breakfast selections, including the Big Breakfast with eggs, hash browns, and sausage. Eventually one out of every four breakfasts eaten on the go would be served at McDonald's - an impressive statistic indeed. The newest kid on the McBreakfast block is this morning meal in a tortilla, first offered on the menu in 1991.4 ounces breakfast sausage1 tablespoon minced white onion1/2 tablespoon minced mild green chilies (canned)4 eggs, beatensaltpepper4 8-inch flour tortillas4 slices American cheeseOn the sidesalsa1.

Applebee's Low-Fat Asian Chicken Salad.
2008-01-11 07:58:00
As the seasons change so does the menu, at this popular 1064-unit casual restaurant chain. You?ll find this item in the ?Low-Fat and Fabulous? column during the summer months where it?s been a favorite since 1997. As with any salad, the waistline violator is the traditionally fat-filled dressing that?s drizzled in gobs over the top of very healthy greens (a tablespoon of dressing is usually around 10-12 grams of fat each). So if we can just figure out a cool way to make the dressing fat-free, we?re well on our way to making huge salad ? four of them to be exact ? with only 12 grams of fat on the entire plate. Most of those grams come from the chicken breast, while the crunchy chow mein noodles pick up the rest. Just be sure to plan ahead when you make this one. The chicken should marinate for a few hours if you want it to taste like the original. Get ready for some big, meal-size salads. 1 cup teriyaki marinade4 chicken breast fillets Fat-Free Asian Dressing2 cups water1/2 cup granu...

McDonald's Sweet and Sour Dipping Sauce.
2008-01-10 04:39:00
This recipe clones one of those sauces you get with your order of McNuggets at the world's largest hamburger outlet. Now, instead of shoving a fistful of the little green packs into your backpack, you can make up a batch of your own to use as a dip for store bought nuggets, chicken fingers, fried shrimp, and tempura. Or you can even use this as a sauce for the traditional Chinese sweet and sour dish (with pineapple, bell pepper, onion, and sautéed chicken or pork.) It's a simple recipe that requires a food processor or a blender, and the sauce will keep well for some time in the fridge.1/4 cup peach preserves1/4 cup apricot preserves2 tablespoons light corn syrup5 teaspoons white vinegar1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch1/2 teaspoon soy sauce1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard1/4 teaspoon salt1/8 teaspoon garlic powder2 tablespoons water1.

Once a regular menu item, these sweet, saucy wings are now added to the KFC menu on a "limited-time-only" basis in many markets. So how are we to get that sticky sauce all over our faces and hands during those many months when we're cruelly denied our Honey BBQ Wings ?

Wendy's Chicken Caesar Fresh Stuffed Pita.
2008-01-10 04:09:00
Early in 1997 Wendy 's introduced its selection of cold "Fresh Stuffed" pita sandwiches -- a nice change of pace from the typical fast food fare. Basically what you're getting is a small salad wrapped in a warm pita bread. You might be saying to yourself "That doesn't sound like much for 3 bucks!" Then I would have to say, "Perhaps, but what if you could make a clone yourself for a mere fraction of that?" You would probably say, "Cool, man! Lay it on me." And then I would just say, "Already did."Dressing1/2 cup water1/8 teaspoon dry, unflavored gelatin1/3 cup white vinegar1/2 cup olive oil1/2 teaspoon finely minced red bell pepper1/2 teaspoon salt1/4 teaspoon garlic powder1/4 teaspoonWorcestershire sauce1/8 teaspoon coarse ground black pepperdash parsleydash oreganodash thymedash basil1 tablespoon grated Romano cheese1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese2 tablespoons egg substitute2 boneless, skinless chicken breastssaltpepper6 cups romaine lettuce, chopped1/4 cup red cabbage, shred...
