The Kitchen is featuring recipes that bring the "heat" to dishes -- spices, chile peppers and even table-side fire! Katie Lee Biegel kicks it off with her Middle Eastern Spiced Spatchcock Chicken with Harissa Yogurt. Alex Guarnaschelli turns up the heat with her Mushroom Quesadilla and Blender Avocado Salsa. Sunny Anderson makes her Spicy Honey Glazed Beef with 5-Ingredient Kimchi Fried Rice, and Geoffrey Zakarian literally cranks up the heat with a flambé from his Bananas Foster.
Ree Drummond is sharing a trio of dinners for two -- for her daughter, Paige, for the freezer and for her other half, Ladd. Ree's mother-daughter dinner is an all-in-one Spatchcock Chicken Sheet Pan Supper. Next, her layered Loaf Pan Lasagna is perfectly portioned for two and just the thing for stocking up the freezer. Then, Ree and Ladd cook up frontier-style Steak Frites and Oven Fries with Ladd's own Lemon and Pepper Seasoning and Easy Hollandaise.
Ree Drummond is spilling the beans on 10 things she loves about her husband, Ladd, and the food he loves most. There's Spatchcock BBQ Chicken with Apple Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce, and he can't resist Thin and Crispy Waffle Fries with Sour Cream and Onion Dip. For dessert, she makes him a Spoon Cake with gooey chocolate frosting. With the cooking covered, Ree shares her favorite things about Ladd, from his cowboy couture to his moves on the dance floor.
The Kitchen becomes a Garden of Eatin', and Jeff Mauro serves up Peruvian Spatchcock Chicken with Creamy Cilantro Sauce paired with Sunny Anderson's perfect side salad, Spicy Spinach Panzanella. Geoffrey Zakarian mixes things up with a Grilled Ratatouille Flatbread, and Katie Lee teams up with cookbook author Kathy Freston to make Pasta with Mushrooms, Walnuts, Asparagus and Apples. Geoffrey adds sweetness with his Strawberry Rhubarb Buckle, and Jeff uses fresh herbs to make a Berry Basil Salad with Rhubarb Syrup. Finally, the hosts kick-start this season's herb garden with an Indoor Self-Watering Planter.
Guy Fieri and his family catch classic military history at the Alamo before heading to the modern-day Lackland Air Force Base. There, chef Robert Irvine joins to cook a feast of tri-tip French dip, pork tacos, spatchcock chicken and Cajun chicken alfredo to thank the troops for their service. But no good deed goes unpunished, as members of the special forces invite Guy and his son, Hunter, to skydive with them. Finally, the Fieris head for King Ranch to visit some contemporary cowboys and join in a cowboy cookout of smoked nilgai antelope and all the fixings.
