Ree Drummond is cooking in the comfort zone as she shares easy, feel-good recipes. First, she serves up Broccoli Chicken and Cheese Soup in a crusty bread bowl before using a shortcut to bake an outrageously cheesy Creamy Sage Baked Ravioli. Then, Ree makes a marvelous meatless Cauliflower Parm and puts comfort in a cup with her luxurious Hazelnut Hot Chocolate cooked in the slow cooker.
The Kitchen hosts have shortcuts, easy recipes and tips for flavorful weeknight meals. Geoffrey Zakarian makes a quick and easy Peanut Sauce over Shrimp Skewers and Rice Noodles. Jeff Mauro has a twist on a classic with a Turkey Reuben, and Katie Lee Biegel makes Easy Veggie Marinara Ravioli Bake in mere minutes. Alex Guarnaschelli's Chicken Cutlets "Saltimbocca" with Prosciutto and Sage "jumps in your mouth." Plus, the hosts share instant upgrades for everyday meals, and Jet Tila stops by!
Food blogger Grace Vallo left corporate life to follow her dreams in food media, and she's an energetic ace, but is she ready to face host Kal Penn's pressure cooker questions? Grace's hopes are pinned on winning the big money to fund her dream wedding in Tuscany, but Bruce tries to knock her off her game with a surprise ice sculpture, and Kal and company rattle her by sharing a round of shots. Grace turns to Chef Tiffani Faison for a Flavor Favor, and Chef Adrienne Cheatham is on call with her culinary expertise as Grace tries to prove she has the chops to make it to the end of the game.
Ree Drummond takes a trip down memory lane with a collection of recipes that put a fresh spin on favorite foods. First, she revisits experimental Short Ribs with Collards and uses a multicooker for deliciously fast results. Then, she transforms a beloved pasta dish into an easy baked Sheet Pan Mac and Cheese. Next, Ree turns a summer combo into a perfect solo lunch of Chicken and Strawberry Salad Wrap and takes on an incredible hack with Margarita Ice Cubes for an almost instant Blackberry Lime Cocktail.
