Gina and Pat work hard and play hard. Even after a long day at the restaurant, they love to entertain and spend time with their friends.
When they dream up a menu that features Roasted Cornish Hens, Creamed Collard Greens, Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes and Apple Crisp, you just know it's gonna be a party!
Proving you can make any dish outside on a grill, Michael Symon prepares a rich Mac and Cheese loaded with Smoked Ham with Cream Cheese, Gouda and Pecorino. Plus, even desserts can come together over live fire, so Michael creates a Grilled Apple Crisp while his wife, Liz, joins him to concoct a Vodka Punch, her favorite summertime cocktail.
Trisha Yearwood and her sister, Beth, celebrate Thanksgiving by giving back. They deliver turkeys and donate canned foods to the YWCA of Nashville and cook a portable Thanksgiving meal for Trisha's niece, Ashley, who's a nurse at the local hospital. The hearty spread consists of Sweet Potato Pudding, Slow Cooker Pulled Turkey, Buttermilk Cornbread, and Cran-Apple Crisp.
Guy doesn't mess around when it comes to his chops: today he's got a whole bone-in pork rack smothered in two kinds of mustard, rolled in bread crumbs, and roasted to juicy perfection. This centerpiece deserves two sides: a cool, crisp Green Bean, Walnut and Feta salad and a steaming pot of Adams Apple Mashed Potatoes, creamy and crunchy with chunks of fresh Granny Smiths. To drink, Lemonation Creation blends whiskey with fresh lemonade and a dash of sour apple schnapps for an extra tart bite.
Ree Drummond's focus is on Chuck, her father-in-law, as the family helps him work cattle and she makes him dinner. The menu includes all of his favorites: Chuck's Enchiladas are named after the main man himself, and Quick Roasted Salsa is totally rancher-worthy. For dessert, Ree whips up an easy Apple Crisp and vanilla Frozen Custard to go with it.
Give your favorite chicken recipe a break; Chef Anne Burrell shows duck breasts can be just as cinchy, with just a few easy tips. Her Seared Duck Breasts with Grape Sauce are even more impressive alongside Roasted Baby Carrots and Parsnips with Wilted Radicchio. Chef Anne even offers up an appetizer: Honey Crisp Apple, Cheddar, Bacon and Dandelion Crostini. With wine, Merlot.
Guy Fieri pulls out all the stops with his favorite protein, pork. His Brie Smothered Pork Chop is juicy and rich, served under a blanket of bubbling brie cheese. On the side, his Farro Out Salad provides a fresh tasting counterpoint, brimming with satisfying farro grains. Guy's French Riviera is a crisp, apple-focused cocktail miles ahead of the appletini.
