Stay out of those April showers, and spend your weekend learning some fresh and new recipes from some of your favorite Food Network cooks. On Saturday morning, Ree Drummond is making a Glazed Baked Ham for a Sunday brunch and sharing her recipes for Fried Chicken and Pasta Primavera. Then Trisha Yearwood is making a menu of farm-fresh ingredients, the co-hosts on The Kitchen are making food-inspired bouquets, and Valerie Bertinelli is making a meal centered around her favorite ingredient: lemons.

On Sunday evening, the final four Supermarket Masters are returning to Flavortown Market and competing for a chance to go on the biggest shopping spree ever. Then, it’s a double dose of Spring Baking, and before the night is over, one champion baker will be $50,000 richer.

The final four Supermarket Masters are ready to compete for the title of champion and the biggest shopping spree ever, worth up to $25,000. First, it's a Dinner Rush as the chefs get only 20 minutes to shop, cook and plate an Italian dish. Next, the chefs let a roll of the dice determine the components of their grilled seafood dinner. In the final round, the chefs have to shop for their ingredients for a "winner, winner chicken dinner" using only a roasting pan, but that isn't even the biggest twist!
