Ana Navarro leads the pack for "Our America: A Queen's Journey," a half-hour special celebrating National Geographic's newest series "Queens."

Now streaming on Hulu and Disney+, "Queens" is a groundbreaking series that highlights the animal kingdom through the female lens for the very first time. Narrated by Angela Bassett, the seven-part series was produced by a female-led production team from around the world.

"Our America: A Queen's Journey" aims to capture the spirit of "Queens."

We start in South Salem, New York, where photographer and National Geographic Explorer Katie Orlinsky is challenging the world to see through a different lens at a wolf sanctuary.

Next, viewers head to Oakland, California to meet Crystal Wahpepah, the Indigenous chef highlighting the food of her ancestors at her restaurant, Wahpepah's Kitchen.

Then viewers get a behind-the-scenes look at how composer and former member of electronic music group M3, Morgan Kibby, created the captivating score for "Queens."

Back in New York City, stylist Sakinah Bashir talks about bridging the divide between fashion and nature
and how she nailed National Geographic's fashion week debut as the creative mind behind the "Queens"-inspired fashion show, "National Geographic Presents: Fit For A Queen."

Finally, in Washington, D.C., viewers meet two of the queens behind "Queens," Pamela Caragol, the show's executive producer and Janet Han Vissering, the senior vice president of development and production for National Geographic.

These Ritz Cracker Sandwiches Vanish Before the Party Starts

Ritz Party Sandwiches transform familiar buttery crackers into warm, savory appetizers that are exactly the right size for grabbing from a crowded table. Cheese and flavorful sandwich fillings sit between pairs of crackers, creating miniature bites with a crisp exterior and rich center. As they bake, the cheese melts, the filling warms, and the crackers become even more aromatic without losing the delicate texture that makes Ritz crackers so recognizable. Each small sandwich delivers salt, butter, cheese, and savory flavor in one or two bites, which explains why people rarely stop after taking only one. The recipe does not require elaborate pastry, specialty bread, or hours of preparation, yet the completed tray looks more thoughtful than simply opening a box of crackers. It is party food built around convenience without tasting like the cook took an obvious shortcut.

This Strawberry Dessert Was Made to Steal the Whole Table

Some desserts sit politely in the corner, but a Southern strawberry punch bowl cake is designed to command the center of the table. Layers of tender cake, juicy strawberries, and cool creamy filling build against the sides of a clear bowl, showing off every color and texture before anyone takes the first serving. The berries bring freshness, the cream makes each spoonful soft and luxurious, and the cake absorbs enough of the surrounding flavor to become even better as it chills. Instead of precise slices, this dessert offers generous scoops where the layers mingle together, making every bowlful slightly different. It feels festive without becoming formal and nostalgic without looking dated. Once the serving spoon reaches the bottom and lifts all those layers at once, people understand why punch bowl cakes have remained such beloved gathering desserts.

Remember the White Candy That Seemed to Appear in Every Grandma’s Christmas Tin?

Divinity is one of those old-fashioned candies that can instantly bring back a kitchen you haven’t stood in for years. Light, fluffy, and almost cloud-like, it’s nothing like dense fudge or chewy caramel. The outside sets with a delicate finish while the center stays soft and airy, with that unmistakable melt-away sweetness that made it a holiday candy-table favorite. It looks deceptively simple, but anyone who grew up watching a grandmother, aunt, or church-supper expert make a batch probably remembers there was a little technique involved. When it turns out right, those snowy spoonfuls look beautiful piled onto a platter—and somehow taste even better after you’ve spent years wondering why people stopped making them.

Mama’s Goulash Tastes Like the Dinner Everyone Remembers

Mama’s Goulash combines elbow macaroni, seasoned ground beef, tomatoes, onions, bell pepper, and cheese into a saucy one-pan dinner that feels immediately familiar. The macaroni cooks until tender and catches the tomato-rich sauce inside every curve, while the beef makes the meal hearty enough to satisfy a crowded table. Onion and pepper soften into the background, contributing sweetness and savory flavor without distracting from the combination people expect. Cheese melts through the pasta and gives the sauce a comforting richness that plain beef and tomatoes cannot provide. This is American family-style goulash rather than a formal European stew, and its appeal comes from affordability, generosity, and the ability to turn basic pantry ingredients into a pot that smells like somebody’s childhood kitchen.
