Kevin Jonas has some secrets up his sleeve about JONAS season two.
The 22-year-old actor dished to TV Guide magazine about what’s happening in season two involving Nicole Anderson, Chelsea Staub and Joe. Check it:
On filming new music sequences: “That was incredible [filming with a helicopter on the rooftop of the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel & Spa] — out of control! We never did anything like that last season. It feels like a movie! It was very cool standing there and seeing the Hollywood sign behind us—very appropriate for what this season has to hold.”
On the theme of season two: “It’s a much different show—it’s on location, it will be all over the place. The big idea is we’re spending the summer away in Los Angeles and exploring what this city has to offer. It’s going to be pretty cool—new characters, new storylines…so many different things are going to happen with it. It’s so much more fun and it’s incredible to be outside and feel the warmth of the sun all day. You have this beautiful landscape around you—it’s awesome!”
On the love connections in the series: “I’m not able to say [on Macy and Kevin], but she’s [Macy] definitely a big part of this next season and I think fans will connect with her on a further level. [With Stella and Joe] something very interesting is going to happen with that whole situation. It’s pretty cool!”
ARE YOU EXCITED for JONAS season two?

Spring’s favorite vegetable — asparagus — stars in this hearty soup, which also includes shallots, potato, and thyme. It’s the perfect starter or appetizer for an Earth Day feast, or for any time you want a fresh and filling soup.

Artichoke Risotto With Garlic And Sage!
•No touching knives or the stove
•Do not touch any appliances without adult supervision.
•Always wash your hands before handling food.
This creamy rice dish is a spring twist on a classic Italian risotto. Artichoke hearts, sage, and wine combine with Parmesan cheese for a main dish or side dish that’s perfect for an Earth Day get-together or a family meal.
Ingredients
- 4 cups organic vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup shallots, minced
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, diced small
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 1/2 can quartered artichoke hearts (about 4 ounces), drained, rinsed and roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup shredded parmigiano-reggiano cheese
Cooking Instructions
- Warm vegetable stock over low heat; set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil on medium-low; add shallots, onion and garlic. Sweat vegetables until shallots and onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add rice, stir and coat well; cook about 1 minute.
- Add artichokes, sage, white wine, salt and pepper; cook over medium-low heat until wine is absorbed, about 1 minute.
- Start to add stock, 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly until rice absorbs all of the liquid (about 15 minutes per cup). Rice should get creamier in texture as stock is added.
- When all stock has been added and absorbed, remove rice from heat and mix in cheese. Serve hot.
Make it Faster
To save time — and money — you can use canned artichoke hearts that have already been quartered instead of fresh ones.
Tips & Tricks
Because Arborio rice is so full of starch, it can easily stick to the pot if it is overcooked. So be sure to keep an eye on it, stirring the rice constantly to keep it from sticking.
