Friend and fellow Okie, Ree Drummond, is coming over to make classic diner food dishes with Trisha. While they cook Chicken Fried Steak, Spinach With Bacon and Onions, Baked Macaroni and Cheese and Chocolate Pie, they share their favorite things about Oklahoma, cowboys and childhood memories of eating blue plate specials with their families.
Trisha Yearwood takes inspiration from holiday traditions and invites friends and family to her home for a tree-trimming party. This celebration of good company and great food includes a menu of Toasted Gruyere and Cranberry Cups, Maple Apricot Glazed Ham, Butternut Squash Bacon Polenta Bites and the most-festive dessert -- Milk and Cookies Fudge.
With the boys away, it's quality time for the cowgirls! There's a beautiful veggie-packed Pasta Primavera for dinner, before it's time to get back to the real world; the guys are coming home, so dinner is a Drummond crowd-pleaser that's loved by cowboys and cowgirls alike, Perfect Bacon Cheeseburgers and Perfect French Fries.
Ree Drummond's putting a breakfast spin on four dinners starting with sensational Sausage Kale Strata, a real make-ahead wonder. Wild Rice Pancakes get flipped to dinnertime for the girls, while the boys enjoy Breakfast Quesadillas, packed full of bacon and eggs, and for herself, Potato Hash with a fried egg makes a super supper.
Ree's doing some cowgirl catering as she pitches in with the family and cowboys working calves, taking them a delicious breakfast of Apple Fritters With Bacon and Sausage and then serving up a fabulous lunch of Pulled Pork, Classic Coleslaw and Quick and Easy Baked Beans to the hungry crew down at the pens.
Valerie Bertinelli is hosting a beach-themed brunch as the official summer party, and her menu includes Lemon Ricotta Waffles with Lemony Mascarpone Cream and Berries, Smoked White Fish Salad with Bagel Chips and Everything Bagel Panzanella. There's also a Sweet Potato, Kale and Bacon Frittata and Boozy Pink Lemonade to set the summer mood.
All in good fun, the baskets in this competition are packed with ingredients that might appeal to the basic male human. Some sharpshooter cupcakes and a meaty snack are part of the riddle in round one. The chefs have to include bacon in the second round, and beer brownies get enthusiastic support from the finalists in round three.
The Neelys are starting off this New Year right with the perfect brunch! They're starting the meal off with Gina's Cheddar And Bacon Biscuit Fried Egg Sandwich and Pat's BBQ Potato Home Fries. Then it's a delicious Neely's Berry Parfait and something special to celebrate - Gina's Champagne Cocktail. It's certain to be a happy new year for everyone!
