Giada’s version of Thanksgiving (and her new ‘blessing’)

Giada De Laurentiis is pregnant — and her nesting instinct seems to have started early. She’ll be sharing Thansgiving recipes in her show Everyday Italian But the chef will be reinventing Thanksgiving fare, serving salad instead of corn bread.
