Ep 13. Just Because Party

Trisha's Southern Kitchen is a cooking show hosted by country music superstar Trisha Yearwood. In season 5, episode 13, titled "Just Because Party," Trisha invites friends over for a casual get-together. Instead of waiting for a specific occasion or holiday, Trisha decides to throw a party "just because" and wants to make it a memorable event.

Trisha starts her preparations by making a refreshing cocktail called Peach Iced Tea. She mixes black tea, peach nectar, and a hint of mint to create a delicious and cooling drink that is perfect for the summer. She also prepares a few appetizers, such as Grilled Peach and Brie Crostini and Roasted Cherry Tomatoes.

For the main course, Trisha decides to grill some chicken and vegetables. She marinates the chicken in a mixture of honey, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar to give it a sweet and tangy flavor. She also grills zucchini and corn on the cob, which are summer staples. To add some extra flavor, Trisha serves the grilled chicken and vegetables with a refreshing side salad made with arugula, watermelon, and feta cheese.

No party is complete without dessert, and Trisha prepares a refreshing and light Lemon Blueberry Trifle. She layers fresh blueberries, lemon yogurt, and angel food cake in a trifle dish and tops it off with whipped cream and lemon zest. It is the perfect ending to a delicious meal.

Throughout the episode, Trisha chats with her guests and shares stories about her life as a country music star. She also shares tips and tricks for throwing a successful party, even if there isn't a specific occasion. Trisha believes that any reason to spend time with friends and loved ones is a good reason to throw a party, and that the food is just an added bonus.

Overall, "Just Because Party" is a fun and lighthearted episode that showcases Trisha's love of cooking and entertaining. It is a reminder that sometimes the best parties happen when there isn't a specific reason to celebrate.
