Great tips on the mixes that are available at Sam’s. Thank you for sharing.

I LOVE the Lobster. When I was a kid, we drove 40 or 50 miles to eat there. I have great memories of my family and Red Lobster!

That’s interesting, the stock analysts have move Darden to sell due to poor 4th quarter earnings, and a muted forecast for 2014. Here are some of the news stories that have been in the news lately. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/os-red-lobster-not-closing-20131227,0,916437.story

Darden has sold the Red Lobster part of their company. Darden is still Olive Garden, Longhorn, Bahama Breeze.. (cant remember if there is another one) But Red Lobster, questionable at first…on it’s own…is still going strong!!
I had no idea Red Lobster was in trouble!! 🙁 I love them and their delicious Cheddar Bay Biscuits. Thank you for including that recipe. I am going to try it this weekend. 🙂
I hope you enjoy the recipe. I know I love their coconut shrimp!
Hi Stephanie–I hadn’t heard about Red Lobster’s troubles, but it’s not a place we frequent. I do love my gf version of their biscuits though. 😉 So thank you so much for including them in your roundup! Just by looking at the recipe titles, I’d say that you have all their best recipes covered here. Will check them out to see which ones I’d like to convert to gf (if they’re not already).
Thanks again!

I know so many people want gluten free foods, while I don’t specialize in them, I understand special needs. I am just starting to do a little gluten free baking.
I did hear that Darden may want to sell off this arm of their business. I hope they can hang on to them.
Hi Stephanie – Do you have by any chance the recipe for the Cesar Salad dressing from Red Lobster’s Restaurant? I’ve tried many different brands, but there is noting like Red Lobster’s. I was hoping to see it in the stores as other restaurants products are. In the mean time I have continue to purchase it directly from the restaurant …and there’s a distance to travel …
I don’t have a similar recipe. I can do a really nice Caesar dressing, but it won’t be an exact match. They will be using a few items in here that aren’t common to the home kitchen.
