The Live Well Network Adds Two New Shows to Winter Schedule: 'My Family Recipe Rocks!' Hosted by Joey Fatone and 'We Owe What?' Hosted by Mary Caraccioli Premiere January 14, 2012

BURBANK, Calif., Jan. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Live Well Network, America's destination for lifestyle television, announces the January 14 premiere of "My Family Recipe Rocks!" hosted by TV personality, actor and former *NSYNC star Joey Fatone, and "We Owe What?" hosted by award-winning financial expert Mary Caraccioli.

"My Family Recipe Rocks!" goes beyond the familiar celebrity chef show to highlight stories from across the country of homegrown cooks and their homemade specialties. Joey Fatone knocks on the doors of people known for an outstanding dish -- whether it's a killer spaghetti sauce or mouth-watering ribs from the backyard barbeque, an old family recipe or a sumptuous new creation. The cook shares heart-warming memories and stories about the family member who inspired the recipe.

"'My Family Recipe Rocks!' does just that – it rocks!  It gives viewers a chance to meet incredible people who are passionate about cooking and connecting their family and friends through food. These are stories we can all relate to and we are excited to share them with America," says host Joey Fatone.

From food to finance, more now than ever, Americans are being hit with the harsh reality their irresponsible spending habits have caught up with them and are wreaking havoc on their family's well being. "We Owe What?" highlights real families who share their life decisions and reveal how their lives have unraveled because of careless money management. Award-winning financial expert Mary Caraccioli travels across the country to help families - from those who just can't seem to save to folks on the verge of financial meltdown. Mary's no nonsense approach and frank talk aren't always easy to swallow, but could just be the dose of reality families need to get their finances back on track.

"So many American families are struggling just to keep their heads above water in this tough economic time and haven't been given the proper tools to help their situation. We give families the resources they need to turn their financial reality around and hope to help viewers who may be facing similar challenges," says host Mary Caraccioli.

The premieres of "My Family Recipe Rocks!" and "We Owe What?" add to an expanding range of entertainment-based programs, including home decorating, fashion and beauty, food, health, outdoor adventures, and travel to the Live Well Network, one of the fastest growing digital networks in America.
