This weekend, come to Food Network for your comfort food fix, some Chinese dim sum, Wizard of Oz-inspired cupcakes, kitchen sabotage and two finales: Rachael vs. Guy: Kids Cook-Off and The Great Food Truck Race.

On Saturday morning tune in for The Pioneer Woman as Ree creates a casual lunch for her family. Then Amy Thielen shares her recipe for Granny-Style Chicken on Heartland Table. On Giada at Home, Giada cooks dim sum inspired by a recent trip to Hong Kong. In the evening watch the bakers on Cupcake Wars take on the Wizard of Oz as their inspiration.

Sunday night starts off with the finale of Rachael vs. Guy: Kids Cook-Off as two teams of kids cook dinner for a gathering of special guests who don't know their chefs aren't professional adults. By the end of the show, one winner will get his or her own Web series. Then on The Great Food Truck Race, the teams make it to Annapolis, Md., and then go to the Chesapeake Bay for a crabbing challenge. After a surprise elimination, the final two teams head onto Arlington, Va., and finally Washington, D.C., where one team will ride away with its very own food truck and $50,000 in prize money.

The guys are out cutting down cedar trees and having a stone-skimming master class with Ladd down at the creek. So Ree's rustling up a casual lunch of delicious Rigatoni with Chicken Thighs, a fun Salad Bar Salad with Creamy Italian Dressing, Garlic Cheese Breadsticks and irresistible Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cookies.

In the tradition of her grandmother, Amy Thielen roasts a local chicken "granny style" together with a plain, natural gravy and bread stuffing, which is prepared with a medley of Swiss chard, caramelized onions, some mashed giblets cooked with sherry, and lots of parsley and chives. For dessert, Amy whips up Rhubarb Spears Baked in Wild Raspberry Syrup.

Everything culminates in the finale where the star kid chefs must use the lessons they've learned from Rachael and Guy to prep a family-style dinner to high-profile judges, including Richard Blais, Jack Lee, Antonia Lofaso, Eric Greenspan, Melissa d'Arabian and Jennie Garth, who don't know that their meal was crafted by kids! Everyone walks away improved as a rising chef, but only one kid will land his or her own web series to debut on FoodNetwork.com right after the finale airs.
