"Up until two years ago, one of my strongest personality traits was that I was a certified McDonald’s groupie. I brandished the app on my phone’s home screen, visited lovingly three to four times a week, and preferred it over just about any sound, adult meal. At the risk of sounding too dramatic, I was a bit of an addict (artificial flavors and loads of sugar/fat/sodium will do that to you). So when I wanted to trick myself into being a bit healthier, I started by making copycat recipes of my favorite fast food meals with healthier ingredients in the comfort of my own home.
European Wax Center is offering your first bikini, underarm, or eyebrow wax completely free—no strings attached.
When I cook at home, I save money, make better ingredient choices, and know exactly what is going into the food that I’m eating. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good Crunchwrap Supreme every now and again. But I now carry a certain pride that only comes with making a meal that I know is better for my well-being. If you’re craving fast food, skip DoorDash. Here are 15 guilt-free copycat recipes that taste just as good:
