Rocco Returns

Our teams are sitting at the dining table and Michelle sees Rocco! He comes inside and introduces himself. Michelle says she remembers seeing him on last season. He tells them he wants to show them how to cook healthy and inexpensively. He has designed 7 recipes, one for each night of the week that have a cost of $7. Rocco asks the best cooks from each team to stand Ed, Colleen, Renee, Vicky, Shellay, LT and Phil stand. Rocco informs them that the he is taking Jerry, Heba, Brady, Michelle, Tom, Amy (Red) and Amy (Purple) shopping and they will also be doing the cooking. The "best" cooks will get to taste the food, and whoever cooks the best, will win a year's worth of groceries.

Tom will cook Curried Turkey & Cauliflower Stew (calories 256)
Heba will cook Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad (calories 291)
Amy (red team) will make Quinoa Pasta withe Pesto & Tomatoes (calories 274)
Jerry - Pork & Vegetable Stir Fry with a peanut orange sauce (calories 284)
Amy (purple team) will be making Tiny Turkey Meatball & Chickpea Soup (calories 289)
Michelle will make Grilled Chicken with Mango Salsa (calories 231)
Brady will make Mussels... he says he hates them, he hates vegetables...

They finish their shopping and return to the ranch and begin cooking. Of course, Brady tastes his mussels after cooking them and... he likes them. Dinner is served. It is time for the other half of their team to be the taste testers. They of course, do not know who did the cooking. Rocco announces that the Tiny Turkey Meatballs are the winner... $8500 worth of groceries. Shellay is proud that Amy was able to cook the number one meal. Rocco gives us a shopping tip - shop on the parameters of the grocery store, that's where all the fresh food is and the deeper you get inside, the more processed, less healthy and more expensive the food is.
