A week ago, I was in Miami attending the best breakfast of my life. We were poolside at the Loews Hotel and the breakfast was hosted by the IMG_1178

I’m a contributor to the TODAY Food Club. IMG_1155

Everyone was in town for the IMG_1107

After getting cocktails and mingling for a bit, Giada came over and started cooking. Oh and by the way, the whole thing was live and televised on national TV. A friend of mine in Dallas said she saw me, maybe just my back, or the side of my dress on TV. 😛 We were there in the background just watching. It was fabulous.

Giada made these delicious Fish Tostadas with Citrus Salsa.

A crowd, outside of the group of people attending the breakfast, had gathered. I mean come on, anytime you have all of those celebrity chefs in one place, a crowd is sure to gather. After Giada and Al were done shooting, they passed around the tostadas, or I should say, the tray went out to the crowd and they were gone in a split second. I know because I saw the whole thing. Hands grabbing and an empty tray.

I didn’t get a tostada but I got a photo with Giada instead and we chatted for just a few minutes.

She was so sweet and she’s absolutely beautiful in real life. I mean, she’s pretty on TV, obviously, but she’s beautiful in real life. And I was actually taller than her, because I was wearing heels. I’m only 5 2″.

The breakfast was so fun and on our way out, we got swag bags. I watch the TODAY Show everyday and always pay close attention when the cooking segment comes on. . I’ve always wanted one of those aprons that say TODAY Food. . and I got one. Happy day!!!

And because those tostadas looked so good, I had to make them for myself at home. I absolutely love the quinoa and I love that Giada used the quinoa to coat the fish. Brilliant!
