Daphne Brogdon's husband, Mark Peel, has been working long hours at his new restaurant, so Daphne plans a special dinner to give him some TLC. First up, Grilled Spice-Rubbed Strip Steaks served with a Sweet and Spicy Onion Sauce. On the side, her twice-baked Two and Two Potatoes and a delicious Beet and Avocado Salad. Plus, Daphne makes a special "Dad-hattan" cocktail for Mark.

When Daphne Brogdon's vacation fund is spend on household repairs, she creates an affordable international menu in place of the trip. She makes fun sticky ribs with banana ketchup, a soba noodle salad, and for a tropical dessert to put you in the right frame of mind, Coconut Rice Pudding with fresh, sweet mango.

Inspired by a recent charity event on the beach, Daphne Brogdon turns her backyard into a beach oasis for a fun summertime party. For the menu, she's grilling up Chorizo Sliders with a Spicy Avocado Spread, Chula Vista Fish Tacos with Carlsbad Cream and the perfect soup for a summer day, Cool as a Cucumber Soup Shooters.
