It's Kardea Brown's favorite time of the year, shrimp season in Charleston; This year she's making Fried Shrimp Baskets, and her mom helps out with her Famous Hand Cut Fries and a fresh Grilled Shrimp Cobb Salad.

Kardea Brown hits the beach with friends for some fun in the sun and a summer-perfect picnic featuring a low-country boil, fresh peach arugula salad and sparkling summer lemonade; for a sweet treat, frozen confetti vanilla whoopie pies hit the spot.

Kardea Brown's family reunions are big, loud and legendary events. She's hosting the party at her Charleston, S.C., home and makes all the family favorites, including No-Fuss Baby Back Ribs with Carolina Moppin' Sauce and a beautiful 4-Bean Salad. Aunt TC joins Kardea in the kitchen to make her famous Potato Salad, and for dessert, the crew digs into classic Charleston Chewies.
