In season 22 episode 7 of The Pioneer Woman, titled "A Very Brady Edition," Ree Drummond pays homage to the classic TV show, "The Brady Bunch." She invites her own blended family of nine to the ranch to enjoy a "Brady Brunch" inspired feast.
Ree starts by preparing a classic brunch cocktail for the adults, the Bloody Caesar. She mixes together clam juice, tomato juice, and vodka for a savory drink that is sure to wake everyone up.
For the brunch menu, Ree prepares several dishes that are reminiscent of the Brady Bunch era. She starts with a Croque Madame Casserole, a sandwich turned casserole that is topped with a fried egg. Next up is an Avocado Grapefruit Salad, full of bright and fresh flavors. Ree also makes a Baked French Toast that is generously slathered with cream cheese and topped with a sweet blueberry sauce.
No Brady Bunch inspired brunch would be complete without Pork and Beans, a classic dish from the show. Ree jazzes up the dish by slow cooking the pork shoulder with white beans, bacon, and plenty of spices. She also makes a Mac and Cheese that is full of ooey-gooey cheesy goodness.
To finish off the brunch, Ree prepares a retro dessert that was popular during the Brady Bunch era, the Pineapple Upside-Down Cake. She tops the cake with juicy pineapple slices and a sweet brown sugar glaze.
Throughout the episode, Ree shares stories about her love for "The Brady Bunch" and how it has influenced her own family. She also reminisces on the classic TV show and its impact on popular culture.
With delicious food, fun decor, and a nod to a beloved TV show, "A Very Brady Edition" is a fun and nostalgic episode that is sure to bring back fond memories for viewers young and old.
