The cooks create a signature shortcut dish and make a dinner to impress.

With a year's worth of groceries up for grabs, three home cooks make the best out of leftovers in an intense battle of culinary makeovers.

The home cooks need to make a day's worth of meals on a budget of only $30, including a brunch and enough leftovers to make a dinner.

Ree Drummond challenges three home cooks to create the perfect party food, including their own version of the one-pot dinner dish and a platter of appetizers for a summer soiree, in 30 minutes or less and without emptying their wallets.

Ree Drummond challenges the competitors to make weekend meals with a $50 budget; the cooks return to the kitchen to make their best grilled summer sandwich; a surprise call has them scrambling to make a drop-in dinner for eight in just 45 minutes.

Host Ree Drummond instructs the three home cooks to make a family friendly weeknight meal using only what they can scrounge up in their pantry; Ree gives the cooks $10 to replenish their pantry and prepare an elevated dinner.
