Season 8, Episode 1

Wonton be Startin' Something

Sunny Anderson has fun with Asian ingredients, including wonton wrappers, in a meal that's both quick and delicious. Easy Shrimp Potstickers, Pork Fried Dirty Rice, and Quick Veggie Stir Fry.

Season 8, Episode 2

I Have an App For That

Sunny Anderson serves up a meal of appetizing appetizers. Her finger-licking menu features Shrimp in Garlic Pepperoni Sauce, flaky and flavor-packed Pizza Bites, and one-bite S'mores

Season 8, Episode 3

Chow Down

It's chow time! Sunny Anderson prepares three irresistable dishes that hit the spot whenever hunger strikes. Sunny's Chunky Chicken Chowder is rich and satisfying, just like her Roasted Tom & Jack Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, which are golden, crispy, and oozing with cheesy goodness. Hot Choco Loco is a drinkable dessert with a kick.

Season 8, Episode 4

Chile Chile Bang Bang

Get your chile on! Sunny Anderson celebrates the flavor of mild chiles with her juicy Chile-Lime Fried Chicken, served alongside a moist and tender Bacon and Green Chile Cornbread. Sunny's Brooklyn Iced Tea is the perfect cocktail to refresh your palate.

Season 8, Episode 5

High on the Lamb

Sunny Anderson has a menu to send taste buds soaring: Sunny's Rack of Lamb sports a flavor-packed crust, and Crispy Potatoes with Roasted Pepper Sauce bring texture and a burst of fresh flavor to the plate. An Apple Affogato is a sweet way to end the meal on a high note.

Season 8, Episode 6

First Date Spaghetti

Sunny Anderson unleashes her inner romantic and shares her failproof recipes for date night. Sunny's Spicy Spaghetti with Mega Meatballs, along with her Easy Garlic and Olive Knots, presents comforting flavors with an extra special touch. Her Juicy Martini is a fresh take on a classic cocktail.

Season 8, Episode 7

After School Special

Sunny Anderson has a fun meal the young and young at heart will melt over. Chicken Chorizo Patty Melts are warm and cheesy foils for crunchy Jicama Salsa. Red Velvet Swirl Brownies take the classic cake to fudgey new heights.

Season 8, Episode 8

Gamer's Gathering

Join Sunny Anderson for a fun game day spread. Start off with a snack of Spicy Boiled Peanuts, then move onto Grown Up Bologna Sandwiches and Nachos Blancos with Roasted Jalapeno Salsa - even the chips are made from scratch! To wash it all down, Beer Punch is a fresh and fun spin on the requisite game day brew.

Season 8, Episode 9

Brewed Awakening

Sunny Anderson has a special occasion menu brimming with comforting flavors. Brewed Awakening Rib Roast will stimulate all your senses with its coffee-herb crust. On the side, smoky braised King's Greens and cheesy Sage Potatoes Au Gratin round out the meal with big style and big flavor.

Season 8, Episode 10

Pot Luck

Follow Sunny Anderson to Potluck Perfection with three crowd-pleasing recipes. Easy Salad with Roasted Tomatillo Dressing, Easy Beefy Cheesy Enchilada Casserole, and Sunny's Hotel Cocktail are all super easy to make, and even easier to take...wherever your dining adventures lead you.

Season 8, Episode 11

Game Changing

Join Sunny Anderson for a traditional turkey dinner with some game-changing twists. Daddy's Game Changing Turkey With Quick Pan Gravy is the flavor-packed centerpiece, while Cherry-Lemon Relish and Sunny's Holiday Parsnip Puree round out the festive meal.

Season 8, Episode 12

Borrowing from the South

Sunny Anderson takes flavor inspiration from her Southern favorites: Hoppin' Jason is her take on the humble Hoppin' John. Simple Sautéed Mustard Greens and Sweet n Corny Hoecakes round out the meal.

Season 8, Episode 13

Phonin' In Flavor

Sunny Anderson has a restaurant-worthy meal that will save you time and money. Grilled Pork Medallions, served over garlicky pappardelle pasta, makes a quick and sophisticated entree. Broccoli and Cashew Crunch is full of flavor and satisfying textures; Fruity Freeze is a cool way to wash it all down.
