Trisha Yearwood and her sister, Beth, decide to put together a meal for the Nashville Food Project, a local organization that brings communities together to help alleviate hunger. They spend the afternoon testing recipes until they're happy with the menu. Then they help prep a large community dinner of Spring Garden Pasta Salad, Braised Pork and Veggie Pockets, Golden Beet and Citrus Salad and Fruity Crumble Bars for dessert.
Things are very cozy at the ranch where Ree Drummond is sharing four inviting recipes that are good enough for company. There's an amazing Italian Wedding Casserole in a spin on a classic, glorious Braised Beef and Red Chilies with a rich red sauce and a simple but scrumptious Roasted Squash Soup. Plus, an awesome Apple Pie Hot Toddy is the perfect drink for a winter get-together.
Ree Drummond is remembering recipes where the indoor grill is the star. First, incredible Burgers with Mango Slaw are a spin on a cookout classic. For a quick dinner, there's 16-minute Butterflied Garlic Parmesan Drumsticks and Caprese Salad, and Grilled French Toast and Strawberries is perfect for a totally over-the-top breakfast. Finally, Honey-Garlic Shrimp Skewers are another 16-minute gem and great for a solo supper.
It's all about speed as Ree Drummond shares four recipes she can make PDQ -- pretty darn quickly.

Ree's simple 10-minute Philly Dogs include tasty toppings, and her 3-Ingredient Chocolate Cake is an internet sensation. With her kids behind the camera, there are extra helpings of fun and delicious quick fixes.
Ree Drummond celebrates the life of her wonderful late father-in-law, Chuck Drummond, with some of his favorite recipes. He was a lifelong chocoholic, so she bakes the decadent Skillet Chocolate Cakes he loved. Then, she makes Biscuits and Sausage Pepper Gravy just the way he always liked them, Tenderloin Steak Bites in tribute to the legendary cattleman and Shrimp Brochette Jalapeno Poppers, a mashup of his two favorite appetizers.

This year's big game features new takes on old favorites, and Valerie is joined by actor Angela Kinsey, her husband, Josh Snyder and food writers Jo Stougaard and Jenn Harris.

The remaining recruits enter boot camp to find it has been transformed into a casino complete with a game of Egg Roulette. The chefs will teach their recruits a pancake recipe and ask them to recreate it before finding themselves traveling across the pond for an English-breakfast-inspired challenge. The chefs will then separate the good eggs from the bad ones before sending home each team's least successful recruit.
It's back to basics on bread. Ina's friend is writing an article about interesting ways to use bread so Ina's volunteered to test out three recipes which all use bread in different ways. The contenders are; delicious Salmon Cakes that use white breadcrumbs, a bubbling Golden Bread Pudding With Italian Panettone and a great hearty tomato soup: Pappa al Pomodoro that has bread both in and on it.
