Season 5, Episode 2

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.

Season 5, Episode 3

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!

Season 5, Episode 4

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 With Ricotta Clouds for dessert.

Season 5, Episode 7

East Made Easy

Go under the sea, and South of the border with Sunny featuring recipes for Red Hook Ceviche, a Southwest Quesadilla plus authentic Mexican Mango on a Stick.

Lunch Date

With Sunny's Real "Dill" Chicken Sandwich. On the side, a super elegant salad: starring fresh goat cheese with mixed greens and grilled corn. Plus fresh Watermelon Mojitos.

Opa!

Season 5, Episode 11

Slow and Low

Sunny takes you back to her childhood with her Granddaddy's North Carolina Ribs. Pull-apart tender, with a vinegar-based dipping sauce, her juicy Fruit Slaw and refreshing Snow Cones, this spread will become a tradition in your family, too.

Season 5, Episode 12

Ordering In

Brace your chopsticks, because Airman Anderson here is about to give General Tso a run for his chicken! Stormy Rice and Green Bean Stir Fry complete the meal -- see how easy it is to make takeout favorites at home.

Season 5, Episode 13

Italian Inspiration

Sunny's main dish today starts with al dente pasta, tossed in homemade roasted Garlic Pesto, then topped with succulent garlic-sauteed shrimp. Plus, Antipasto Salad and ruby-red Cherry Bomb cocktail summer sparkler.
