This trip, Guy Fieri's taste buds are in for a culinary adventure. In Bakersfield, Calif., the classic cafe dishing out meaty Texas chili and decadent pumpkin pancakes. Across town, the hidden gem piling up a peanut butter burger alongside all kinds of delicious desserts, like homemade "Bacon Love" ice cream. And in Phoenix, the gourmet taco spot mixing up a mean mole.
It's a Semi Homemade bridal shower and the menu starts off with Individual Pizzas with Canadian Bacon, Onion and Apple. Then, a Tomato Couscous Salad and a Chopped Chicken Mediterranean Salad. You will fall in love with the Lemon Meringue Tea Cakes from one of our Semi-Homemakers, and Sandra's Startime Dream cocktail is out of this world.
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.
Sandra's throwing a rustic party filled with great decorating ideas and a hearty menu filled with country comfort foods. Her rustic menu includes savory Pecan Candied Bacon Bites, Crispy Fingerling Potatoes and Slow Cooker Brisket with Brown Gravy. Dessert does not disappoint...Sandy's Glazed Maple Walnut Cakes and for cocktail time a creative Creamy Cocoaccino guaranteed to be the life of any party!
Melissa d'Arabian dresses up a wallet-friendly classic without breaking her budget. Her tender Meatloaf gets an extra flavor boost from her Mustard and Sour Cream Gravy. On the side, Twice-Baked Mashed Potatoes are brimming with green onions and cheddar cheese, and her Braised Collard Greens are tender and flavored with bacon, garlic, and lemon zest. Comfort never tasted this good!
Whether it's first thing in the morning or late at night, doughnuts are always the perfect bite of food. From a doughnut the size of a waffle stacked with tasty treats to a place in Washington, D.C. baking with bacon to a classic Chicago glaze, you won't believe how this circular snack has been made over into award-winning dishes!
Today is a blast from the past! Sandra's menu is a tribute to the soda fountain shops of yesterday, and she's putting a modern, semi-homemade spin on all her recipes. Even though the kids don't remember the days of soda jerks, they won't be able to say no to good old burgers and fries! The menu starts off with a modern twist on the classic burger: Blue Cheese and Bacon Burgers. You'll love how Sandra dolls up the retro hot dog for her bacon-wrapped Fountain Dogs. Then it's an old-time boardwalk favorite, Chili Fries. For dessert, you won't believe your eyes! She's shaped ice cream and other goodies into the shape of a potato, for her amazing Baked Potato Ice Cream. Then it's cocktail time! You'll love this new classic -- Spiked Egg Cream.
