A mashup of Caesar Salad and adorable Not Knots produces one awesome salad, and the Naughty Cowgirl cocktail is a spicy hit at the bar.
Premiering Saturday, October 13th at 10am – “College-Bound”
The Drummond family is throwing a farewell dinner for college-bound cousins Paige and Caleb, featuring a spread of their favorite food. Ree Drummond makes two side dishes, Brown Butter Mashed Potatoes and Roasted Cauliflower Salad, that will pair perfectly with the Simple Salad with Simple Ranch. Ladd and his brother, Tim, are in charge of the Drummond Grilled Rib Eyes, and a show-stopping Strawberry Shortcake Trifle is a sweet sendoff for the frontier freshmen.
Premiering Saturday, October 20th at 10am – “Breakfast Freezer Faves”
It’s a busy day on the ranch for Ree Drummond as she fills her freezer with breakfast favorites and makes breakfast for the guys out working cattle. Her to-make list includes Freezer Breakfast Paninis and Very Berry Croissants, which are easy to heat and eat down the line. Herbalicious Breakfast Casserole is an awesome make-ahead dish, and her Frozen Yogurt Bark is part treat, part sweet.
Premiering Saturday, October 27th at 10am – “Fire and Ice”
There’s a burning on the prairie, but in Ree Drummond‘s kitchen, everything is sweet, stocked up and frozen. She’s making Mini Turtle Cheesecakes that are elegant enough for impromptu entertaining and incredibly simple Ice Cream Truffles two ways. Grab-and-go Peanut Butter Protein Bars power up the kids for work on the ranch, and Ree’s shortcut Frozen Tiramisu Cake packs classic flavor into a frosty slice.
Premiering Sunday, October 28th at 11am – “Best of Chocolate Lovers”
Ree Drummond is sharing some of the recipes that have rocked her chocolate-loving family’s world through the years.
