Nancy Grace has tried to shed her rough-and-tumble HLN persona in other venues, including her graceful side on "Dancing With the Stars" in 2011.

Now she's channeling her home-maker side in a new cooking show for HLNTV.com "Cooking With Nancy Grace."

She has eight-year-old twins so the food tips are focused on kid-friendly meals. She works in crockpots to create a chicken teriyaki, puts together a quickie chicken pot pie and simple snack hacks such as bananas rolled in peanut butter and Rice Krispies. And given how sweet she is, one of her favorite ingredients? Honey.

She even brings in guests such as a pregnant Kandi Burruss of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" fame, who shows Grace how to make baked spaghetti.

ON TV

"Nancy Grace," 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. weekdays, HLN
