While you may know Patricia Heaton for her roles as Debra Barone, the comedian's wife living across the street from her in-laws on Everybody Loves Raymond, and Indiana mom Frankie Heck on The Middle, what you may not know about this celebrated actress is that on her days away from the set, she's all about entertaining. From party planning and decor setup to menu ideas for crowd-pleasing eats and drinks, Patricia knows just what it takes to entertain without a hassle, and in her all-new series,  Patricia Heaton Parties, she'll show you how.

Beginning Saturday, Oct. 24 at 12|11c, Patricia will dish on the ins and outs of throwing low-key bashes, like casual girls' nights, and welcoming holiday gatherings alike — and even invite you into her house for her own celebrations. You can be sure that the food at Patricia's parties is fresh, craveable fare that's easy to eat.

In the first episode, Patricia and a few of her co-stars from The Middle, including Brock Ciarlelli, Eden Sher and Jen Ray, come together for a fright-night bash just in time for Halloween. Be on the lookout for her ghoulishly good roster of themed snacks and sips.

Mark your calendars for the premiere of Patricia Heaton Parties on Saturday, Oct. 24 at 12|11c.
