Halloween Wars

This weekend, sit down at the table for some delicious comforting food with Ree and Amy on Saturday morning. Ree is cooking up a feast of his-and-hers pizzas for her family. Afterward, Amy is inspired by North Dakota’s immigrant population when creating her menu featuring Icelandic, African and Asian influences. On Sunday morning, it's the premiere of Rachael Ray's Week in a Day. Tune in for her week's worth of comfort food recipes.

On Sunday night, watch a special Annie-themed Cupcake Wars as the bakers compete to have their creations featured at the musical's opening party.

Then, on the premiere of Halloween Wars, four teams compete to make their best interpretations of a zombie prom. Finally, tune in for culinary sabotage on a new episode of Cutthroat Kitchen.

It's a busy day on the ranch with the whole Drummond gang moving cattle. Ree's whipping up a rib-sticking lunch. There will be refreshing Lemon Limeade, his-and-hers pizzas — a meaty Basic Pepperoni with homemade pizza sauce and delicious Four Cheese Pizza — and a great chopped Tomato Basil Salad. For dessert, Ice Cream Pie with Easy Caramel Sauce. It's the perfect casual meal for a hungry crew.
