Tex-Mex Two Step
Sunny pays tribute to her high school days in San Antonio with this Tex-Mex fish taco spread. Her special cerveza batter is light and crispy on the fish and the beer-and-fried-food flavor combo is a classic!
It's Sunnytime and the Livin' is Easy
Fried chicken is one of Sunny's greatest pleasures, one that only gets better when shared with friends. Sunny's recipe gets crispy skin and juicy, flavorful meat and today's entire menu (Red Cabbage Slaw, Party Popcorn and Refrigerator-Brewed Sweet Iced Tea) is as great outside at a barbecue as it is right at your kitchen counter.
Masterpiece Burger
Sunny's getting in touch with her inner artist as she reimagines the all-American burger and fries meal. Her Spicy Ketchup punches up Curry Pork Burgers and homemade root veggie Fries and she even extends her creative edge to her peaches and cream dessert ... in cookie form!
Gone Shuckin'
Sometimes food tastes better when you get to eat it with your hands: Sunny's Oyster Po' Boy and Peel 'n Eat Shrimp are finger-lickin' good, and her Orange-Lime Meringue Pie is so good you won't mind picking up a fork for dessert.
Rockin' Oxtail
Every cook has a hero recipe, a failproof main that saves dinner time and again. For Sunny, that main is Oxtail Stew: it earns rave reviews, satisfies any comfort food craving and the slow braise is low-maintenance -- a welcome relief on busy workdays. Tonight's Puerto Rican menu has an exotic spin, too, with Kale-lloaloo and Sauteed Plantains -- que rico!
Summer in the Park with Sunny
When it's sunny outside, you won't find Sunny inside! Sunny's got a menu of Picnic Potato and Chicken Salad and Sunday Morning Muffins that's fresh, flavorful and easy to eat while you relax in the sun, plus her Hard Lemonade packs easily to wash it all down.
Italian Ice, Ice, Baby
In New York, warm weather means one thing to Sunny: Italian Ice time! She's fallen hard for the frozen treat, and today she's making it at home as the finale to her Italian meal of Chicken Sausage Rigatoni in a Spicy Vodka Sauce and Crispy Cauliflower Florets With Citrus Salt -- that's amore!
Keepin' It Quick
Busy days mean Sunny can't play as long as she'd like in the kitchen, but even in a time pinch she can get a great meal on the table.

Talkin' Turkey
Breathe new life into your turkey day, whether it's Thanksgiving or if you're just giving thanks for the tasty bird and the loved ones you get to enjoy it with.
