Valerie Bertinelli whips up her favorite SoCal-inspired dishes to celebrate her producer's engagement; she spices up dinner with a chili verde chicken, Spanish-style cauliflower rice and elote salad; she toasts the couple with a cherry margarita.

Valerie Bertinelli dishes up some new recipes for a longtime friend, Mackenzie Phillips. They catch up over Sweet and Savory Baked Brie, cheesy grilled Eggplant Rollatini and Cacio e Pepe Brussels Sprouts. For dessert, they share some sweet and crunchy Millionaire Bars.

Valerie Bertinelli flips through her mom's old recipe box to find some beloved favorites.
