It's chocolate day at the lodge and Ree has challenged herself to shake up three great knock-it-out-of-the-park easy but impressive chocolate recipes for the blog. The kids can't wait to turn into taste testers – it's a cook's kid's best perk. Their dinner is an incredible corn and cheese chowder, and their mom's got a real surprise: dessert, then soup as a treat. Let the choc fest begin.

It's potluck Sunday at the church and comfort food to the max. Ree is making three great dishes that are guaranteed to be wiped out first: Comfort Meatballs, Green Bean Casserole and Red Velvet Sheet Cake With Frosting. Then it's all hands on deck at the church the next morning where the entire family turns out to help Ree get the food on the table -- and eat it.
