The Next Aunt Sandy?

Giada had her nieces on set today to help her make chocolate Nutella sandwiches and sweet strawberry bruschetta. Oh, such cute stories were told, like the one when Giada's mommy used to send her to school with chocolate sandwiches and the principal called home to make sure this would stop. Oh, those crazy Italians and their home packed lunches! Giada also whipped out a torch to caramelize the strawberries, this is almost as bad as Aunt Sandy boozing it up with her nieces and nephews around. One of her sweet nieces got a lot of air time with all of her improvised lines. I wonder if Aunt Giada liked that?

Family time continued when Mama De Laurentiis showed up and helped Giada make fried egg sandwiches. She was a hottie, just like Giada, with her trendy, skinny, whiskered dark blue jeans and tight black top. Food Network Addict has done research on how these petit women stay in such good shape. Giada says she "grazes" throughout the day, and she must have learned this from her mom.

The episode was quite enjoyable. Go to foodnetwork.com to get the recipes of all the sandwiches (six in total) she prepared. I'm constantly amazed at how everyday friendly Giada's recipes truly are. It's always refreshing to find truth in advertising. Her ultra-white teeth, over-pronounced Italian words, and slim wasteline may be annoying, but her recipes are delightful.
