Simply Giada

Giada and her daughter Jade need a kid-friendly, portable lunch for a picnic under the Brooklyn Bridge, so Giada makes quinoa pancakes, green fried rice, crispy broccoli and cauliflower, and roasted banana and peanut butter cupcakes.

Giada De Laurentiis offers recipe and menu-planning tips to make eating well more easy and more convenient, and prepares warm quinoa oatmeal, chicken broth, white bean and escarole soup, fusilli with chicken and broccoli rabe and a skillet brownie.

Giada De Laurentiis makes a romantic dinner of substantial dishes that are also light in fat and calories: bison bolognese, chicken milanese and simple braised mushrooms.
