A Literally Good Meal

Sunny's tongue-twister menu does Green Eggs and Ham one better -- though it does have green, and ham! It's Pasta, Pancetta and Peas, a satisfying dish you can really twirl your fork in, but its light, fresh flavors won't weigh you down.

Beefed Up Dinner

Beef, it's what's for dinner! But not just any beef -- Filet Mignon! Grilled to juicy perfection, set atop crispy, flaky puff pastry and topped with rich, creamy wild mushroom sauce, Sunny's easy Beef Swellington is -- well -- swell!

The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

Sunny's menu packs in the nutrition and the flavor, with room for a decadent dessert in the end. With Salmon in a sweet and tangy Blackberry Ginger Glaze With Wild Style Grains and Thangs and a PB&J Sundae.

Season 5, Episode 5

Brunch Worthy Breakfast

Whether cooking for yourself or for guests, breakfast doesn't always get the attention it deserves. Well, here's a morning menu that's worth waking up for, and it kicks off with her easy Breakfast Skillet and continues with Cinnamon Toast Pudding and Peach Horchata.

Season 5, Episode 6

Clean Bowl Club

There's the clean plate club, and now there's a clean bowl club! Sunny's Cream of Asparagus Soup will have you sopping up every last drop with her herbed Flatbread. Treat yourself to fresh Balsamic Glazed Apricots for dessert.
