All of your favorite morning dishes will be completely transformed by Chef Alex Guarneschelli. Alex slices thick cuts of bacon and dredges them in brown sugar and spices. It pairs perfectly with simple fried eggs and crispy toast soldiers. And, in an act of ridiculousness, Alex melts a wheel of cheese on a bed of crispy hash browns. For drinks, a muddled screwdriver makes it the perfect early morning breakfast.
Marcela gives some classic American Fall flavors a Mexican twist, with a fresh take on the season's favorite dishes. She injects tequila into turkey and uses it in her marinade to add a Mexican kick. Her potato gratin gets a unique smoky flavor from poblano chiles, while her pumpkin is glazed with traditional piloncillo sugar. She also makes Mexican Stuffed Mushrooms with bacon, creamy requeson cheese, and chard.
Ree Drummond cooks up ranch-style Italian and a lot of fun with the help of her kid crew. There's a real pasta-pronto family favorite, Chicken Florentine Mac and Cheese, and squash replaces spaghetti in a healthy spin on classic Bolognese. Then, Ree makes Cast Iron Pizza Bianca in a skillet with a great shortcut, and her Sugar Cookie Bruschetta is a perfectly sweet make-your-own dessert.
