One of the most popular types of pins on Pinterest are recipes of any kind. From dinner selections to dessert, if you need a recipe for something, you can find it there. My favorite type of recipes are those that recreate loved restaurant recipes or favorite store-bought treats. I thought I'd look up a few of my favorites and share them here in case you feel inspired this coming weekend!

Whether you live in the Chicagoland area or somewhere else, I'm sure you can find your restaurant favorite on Pinterest. I love perusing the different pins and then testing those recipes out to see how you like them. I made Reese's peanut butter eggs near Easter and they were delicious.

Have you made any copycat recipes that you love? We'd love to hear about them. You can even send them over and we can pin them to our boards - Chicago Parent & Samantha.
