The Phillips family has an annual tradition of making and exchanging delicious and practical gift baskets and this year, Damaris is making simple, yet impressive, pantry staples to give as gifts and uses them in recipes to feed her crew. First, her homemade Bourbon Vanilla Extract serves as the base for decadent Spoon Fudge. Her homemade Stake Sauce is the perfect stuff to pour over Prime Rib Burgers and Kale Caesar Salad is topped with Cornbread Croutons.

Damaris and her beau, Darrick, have been getting bridge lessons from Damaris's 99-year-old Grampy. Over an intimate card game, they'll enjoy Creamy Tomato Soup and Grilled Pimento Cheese Sandwiches and Grampy's favorite dessert -- Pineapple Upside-Down Cake.

When it's raining during the day of Damaris Phillips' egg hunt, she brings the festivities inside. No matter the weather, her impressive meal of Country Ham and Scalloped Potatoes with an iceberg wedge salad is sure to please the crowd. And while the kids are munching on their chocolate bunnies, the adults can enjoy Damaris' coconut bourbon chocolates.
