As a busy mom, Chef Giada De Laurentiis is constantly challenged to come up with healthy recipes that her daughter, Jade, not only loves but requests. Giada's recipes go way beyond hiding vegetables and include her own special spin on kid favorites like fries and pancakes. For a portable lunch that she and Jade can take on a bicycle ride for a picnic under the Brooklyn Bridge, Giada makes Quinoa Pancakes, Green Fried Rice, Crispy Broccoli and Cauliflower and Roasted Banana and Peanut Butter Cupcakes.
