Kardea Brown is cooking up some Tex-Mex flavors to celebrate her friend's birthday; she makes a cheesy birria dip, elote burger sliders and summer squash salad with a smoky agave vinaigrette, with pineapple upside-down cupcakes for dessert.

Kardea Brown's pal Nancy Fuller is in town, so Kardea and Nancy head to the local farmer's market to get inspired by farm-fresh goodness and grab ingredients for a delicious meal! On the menu is Lemony Herb Shrimp Scampi over Middlins Risotto and Collard Green Salad with a BBQ vinaigrette. For dessert, there's a beautiful Berries and Cream Layer Cake. As Nancy always says, "Fresh is best!"

Kardea Brown hosts a Mother's Day lunch for her childhood best friends. She's cooking up Scalloped Potato-Stuffed Chicken alongside her Sugar Snap Pea Salad with Roasted Grapes. Then, Kardea has the perfect dessert for these mamas, a Lemon Meringue Pie with shortbread cookie crust, tart lemon filling and pillowy meringue. Plus, every mama deserves a delicious cocktail, so Kardea treats her ladies to a Strawberry Rosé Daiquiri -- a frozen treat with sparkling rosé, rum and strawberries.
