I had a few people request my Olive Garden soup, salad, and bread stick recipes, but just so you know- I am terrible at giving recipes. I really have nothing against sharing, it's just that I don't really follow recipes, I just add a little of this and a little of that. So if you really need specific amounts and measurements- you're out of luck. I have made them all a number of times and adjusted them to what my family likes. So this may just be a baseline and you can make them the way you like. Enjoy!
| Olive Garden Recipes- copycat | |
| "All you can eat- soup, salad, and bread sticks... anytime" | |
| Bread Sticks- | |

| 2T yeast | Melted butter |
| 2T butter | Salt |
| 2T sugar | Garlic powder |
| 1T salt | Oregano |
| 4-5 C flour | |
| In kitchenaid add all ingredients until dough cleans the sides of the bowl. If it sticks, gradually add more flour. | |
| Knead for 8 minutes. Let rise. Punch down- roll into 24 bread sticks. Add topping, let rise again. | |

| 1lb italian sausage- a bit spicy is better for flavor | |

| 1/2 onion diced | |
| Oregano | |
| Potatoes sliced then halved (D) | |
| Chicken broth- enough to barely cover the potatoes | |
| 1/2 and 1/2 or cream | |
| 2 C kale or swiss chard- my kids are lame so I leave this out. | |
| Brown sausage, add onions, garlic, oregano. Add potatoes and enough chicken broth to cover them. | |
| Boil until potatoes are soft, then add kale or swiss chard, then half and half. Simmer for a few minutes- serve. | |

| Brown hamburger- season as you like. Add everything except zucchini. Boil until veggies are soft. | |
| Add zucchini last or it will get soggy. Cook until tender- Serve. | |
