Plus, Kardea makes an addicting French Onion and Leek Dip and, for dessert, bakes some Vanilla Snack Cakes to bring this meal to a home run!
Two years ago, Texas native, Joanie, decided to get healthy and give juicing a try. After getting her husband, Cary, and kids onboard, her passion for juice turned into a food truck family business and now they're on the hunt for a brick and mortar space.

Four returning All-Stars champs compete for $50,000 for charitable causes that are very meaningful to them. Two of the surprises in the first basket are a super salty veggie and a super fresh seafood item. Then cheddar-filled pretzels help make it a fun-filled entree round. And the judges cannot wait to taste a couple of creative desserts made from freeze dried grapes and marcona almonds.
Set on success, four chefs are ready to wow the judges with their heart, talent and drive! In the first round, the competitors make appetizers that include a Central Asian bread and a fun sweet-and-sour treat. When the chefs find a packaged product in the entrée basket, they must think up ways to make it sing with sole. Then, it's anybody's guess who will prevail after a dessert round featuring an Indian snack and a plethora of pastries.
It's all about summer cooking and ideas for easy entertaining as Ree Drummond cooks up delicious recipes with her kid crew.

The sun's out, the family's shooting the show, and there's a big helping of fun.
Ree Drummond's sharing the fundamentals of care packages and putting one together for her college kid, Alex, along the way.

It's a care package journey with lots of fun ideas for that special someone.

Taking a break from their studies to crush it in the Chopped Kitchen, four college students compete for culinary superiority. In the first round, the young amateur cooks must work with a dorm-life starchy staple and a bag of frozen veggies.

And with both sweet and salty surprises in the dessert basket, the final two cooks seek to make balanced desserts to complete their meals.
