Friday, April 17: DDD PREMIERE at 9|8c

We’re all spending more time at home these days, and that’s exactly the focus of the food at tonight’s restaurants. Each of the chefs is putting their spin on dishes inspired by their hometown roots. Get ready for Louisiana-style pasta, Detroit’s take on pizza — in Denver! — and plenty of crispy fries.

Saturday, April 18: The Pioneer Woman at 10a|9c

Ree Drummond is helping to outfit her daughter Alex with the essential kitchen tools she needs while working away from home. Think basic best bets like a quarter sheet pan to make a quick chicken dinner and an immersion blender to for super-creamy smoothies.

Saturday, April 18: The Kitchen at 11a|10c

It’s finally (!) starting to feel a bit more like spring outside, which means The Kitchen crew is shifting their focus to lighter flavors. Sunny Anderson’s Easy Baked Lemon Sole is on the menu today, and it’s a quick-fix meal that’s just as easy to prep as everyday chicken or steak. Even those who say they “don’t like fish” will take to the mild taste of flaky sole.

Saturday, April 18: Trisha’s Southern Kitchen at 12|11c

Trisha Yearwood is giving her Nashville kitchen a little Italian flair when she shows how simple it is to make gnocchi and GIANT meatballs from scratch. If you’re looking for a fun and flavorful weekend project with your family, break out the potatoes to make these pillowy gnocchi for dinner.
