Giada and some of her girlfriends walk a 5K race in Los Angeles to benefit cancer research. The night before the race, Giada prepares a nutritious and energizing meal of Beef and Cannellini Bean Minestrone and Farro With Cheese and Herbs for her team to enjoy. She also makes Apricot Oat Bars, a delicious snack for the group to munch on during the walk.

Giada prepares recipes influenced by her travels and amazing dining experiences. She makes Meaty Mushroom Lasagna, Couscous-Stuffed Peppers With Basil Sauce and Frozen Brownie Sundaes.
