Ree Drummond is sharing a collection of her favorite meals she loves to cook when eating solo. There's juicy Lamb Chops with Mint Sauce and Sauteed Green Beans with Lemon and Blue Cheese, and a Carb Buster Breakfast with poached eggs and delicious veggies is the perfect way to kick start the day. Then, Skirt Steak with Bok Choy is a heavenly dinner for one in a dash, and Mango Chile Chicken is perfectly sweet and spicy. Being home alone never tasted so good.
Just how the graham cracker crumbles in the Appetizer Round depends on how the chefs can recover from setbacks. One contestant struggles to plate after suffering a cut, while an opponent learns that flashy knife work may not yield the best results. Then in the Entrée Round one chef breaks a plate and another chef breaks with cultural tradition by incorporating puffed rice cereal into a typical chorizo dish. Then the two finalists endeavor to make coffee bean desserts that are good to the last bite.
When time runs out on a frantic Appetizer Round, two of the chefs are unhappy with what did not make it on to their calf liver dishes in the final moments, while one chef is upset that a little something extra accidentally did. Then in the Entrée Round, it is up to the judges to determine who fell short with the long beans and whose cuttlefish was a cut above the rest. And the two finalists devise ambitious plans for using a salty condiment and a sweet fruit in their desserts.
Friday night fish fries are a thing in southern Louisiana and Sam and Cody Carroll are frying up a special menu for the occasion right next to the pond on their family farm.

The star of the show, however, is Sam's Chicken Thigh and Smoked Sausage Gumbo with Creole Potato Salad served true Cajun-style -- in the same bowl!
