Giada De Laurentiis is a guest at the Hollywood Improv, for Alie Ward and Georgia Hardstark's live comedy show called "Slumber Party with Alie and Georgia." In keeping with the theme, Giada prepares breakfast-style food to take to the event like Bloody Mary Dip, Silver Dollar Pancake Sandwiches and Eggs Benedict Deviled Eggs. Meanwhile, Alie and Georgia prepare a Lavender Chamomile Tequila to go enjoy with the appetizers while on stage.
Giada De Laurentiis, her daughter, Jade, and a friend head out for an early morning paddleboarding session followed by a casual weekend brunch. They go from the beach to the kitchen to prepare a decadent spread that includes Berries with Spiced Cream, a Peach and Bacon Frittata, Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and Lemon Shakeratos for the adults.
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.
Giada has invited one of her best girlfriends over for a weekend of fun, gossip, and of course great food. A crunchy crostini snack will give them energy for an afternoon of window-shopping. Later they'll make a hearty dinner of Tuna with Cipolline Onions and a side of creamy polenta with arugula. Plus, Giada will treat her friend to fluffy pancakes with her own Italian twist.
