There's something special about a seafood spread in the summertime. It can feel casual, yet elevated, and just right for the season at hand. In this episode, Jo shares her go-to recipe for Lobster Rolls, inspired by her honeymoon with Chip on the East Coast, along with other dishes that are rich in both flavor and experience.

Jo's Faves

Texas Tried And True

Joanna welcomes Angela Kinsey from The Office to cook up some tried-and-true Texas dishes, including Dr Pepper BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, loaded baked potatoes, corn on the cob with charred jalapeño garlic butter and peach cobbler.

Familiar dishes can bring a sense of ease to the kitchen, creating an opportunity for connection any day of the week. In this episode, Jo celebrates two of her favorite things—food and design. She shares her all-time favorite recipes tied to some of her treasured memories while simplifying the art of hosting, step by step.

In this episode, health and wellness expert Emma Lovewell joins Jo in the kitchen. Both Jo and Emma have family ties to Asia, so this lineup of recipes was inspired by familiar meals that remind them of their roots.

Asian-Inspired Food with Emma Lovewell

Mexican food is always a top choice in the Gaines household. During this episode of Magnolia Table with Joanna Gaines, Jo carries on the tradition of sharing family-favorite Mexican dishes almost every season of the show. She starts off with something sweet, baking one of her and Crew's favorite desserts, warm Churro Cookies. (Fun fact: You can try these at Silos Baking Co. this summer!).

Mexican Cuisine

Cheese, pasta, and bread—three words that mark this episode's menu. Jo shares a well-rounded lineup of Italian eats, starting off with Pink Baked Ziti, a favorite of the Gaines girls. On the side, she pairs homemade garlic-parmesan butter with French Bread from Magnolia Table, Volume 3 to bake Roasted Garlic Parmesan Toast. She also shares her Antipasto Salad, a bed of arugula tossed with salami, Parmesan, cherry tomatoes, and a sun-dried tomato vinaigrette to add some fresh color.

For a twist on the classic Italian dessert, Jo deconstructs cannoli into pillowy chips dusted with powdered sugar (for good measure) and served alongside whipped ricotta-mascarpone dip laden with vanilla bean.

Infused with her warmth and passion for all things family, Joanna Gaines spends time in the kitchen sharing her favorite recipes, where they come from and why she finds herself returning to them time and time again.
