If your family had a cookbook, would you have a recipe in it? Deena wants to cook healthy meals for her family, who are bored with her chicken recipes. She's a pretty good cook, but says she has yet to make it into the family cookbook. So we'll try and help her create some memorable recipes that are sure to become family favorites. We'll start with lean and healthy Spiced Buffalo Burgers and a tender Buffalo Strip Steak. Deena will learn how to make these awesome Chickpea Fries and cool, fresh Jicama Apple Slaw. And for dessert a Rustic Cheesecake With Praline Sauce.

TIPS:

    Buffalo/Bison
