I’ve recently been given two Giada cookbooks, and I found this one more tantalizing then the other one, Everyday Italian. This one had more original recipes and recipes that actually needed recipes.
Here are some of the ones I want to try…
Lemon Chicken Soup with Spaghetti
Nonna Luna’s Rice (to make one night when my husband isn’t home - he is not a shrimp fan) - We can have a girl’s night!
Grilled Tuscan Steak with Fried Egg and Goat Cheese (another one I would have to cook differently - my husband doesn’t like runny eggs) - but I like pleasing him with what I cook
Vegetable Parm - baked veggies and cheese - does it get much better?
Cranberry Cornmeal Cake - would be great for the Fall!
Chocolate Rice Pudding - oh goodness comfort food and chocolate
Should be making some of these once we move!



I am normally nowhere near you when it comes to making recipes from cookbooks
but I have actually made something from this cookbook! I’ve made the Lemon Chicken Soup in the past. I really enjoyed it, but found that it needed more broth to be a true soup…but that might have been my mistake, not Giada’s!
