Homemade Olive Garden Recipes: Soup, Salad, Breadsticks and Alfredo Dipping Sauce

I love Olive Garden! Especially their salad, Italian Dressing and Breadsticks! On this blog post I'm going to show you all the recipes you love in one place! First Starting with the breadsticks... 

Now they didn't taste "exactly" like the olive garden breadsticks (I may or may not have accidentally left them in the oven to long) but it was my first time making them and they tasted really good!
