Giada De Laurentiisis one busy woman.
On Thursday,the Food Network alumshareda ReeltoInstagramshowing a jam-packed day in her life complete with two flights, a menu tasting and quality time with her boyfriend, Shane Farley.
“I use my foam roller, which is a must for a full day of travel,” she explains as she rolls out her spine. She makes some coffee and expertly does her makeup while taking sips of espresso throughout.
All of those events happened in under two hours as De Laurentiis explains that “before 8 a.m., I’m off to the airport.”
She arrives at the airport and gets on a jet, showing off the scenic landscapes of her “quick and beautiful 40 minute flight” to Las Vegas. When she gets off the plane, she’s taken to her next stop,the Cromwellhotel, whereher restaurant Giadais located.
In a montage of silly clips, the workers at the restaurant pop into frame with a smile and a wave. “The best part of visiting Giada Vegas is seeing all the familiar faces, many I’ve known for about a decade now,” she says of her restaurant that opened in 2014.

She inspects the kitchens and does a pastry taste test of a flakey croissant and a brightly colored muffin then takes a few business calls from the dining room. After that chunk of work, she says, “It’s off to the races.”
“Today, we’re tasting for a new executive chef at the restaurant, so a lot of dishes and it’s super fast-paced,” the celebrity chef explains. She shows off a series of plates like a caviar covered bruschetta, some arancini bathing in red sauce, a lemony filet of fish and some meaty main that’s covered with morels.
They all take an espresso break, and De Laurentiis gets in “some quick calisthenics" as she does jumping jacks in the dining room. After her workout, she and the staff have “another lightning round of dishes" to taste. She eats some potatoes, stuffed pasta in broth, another kind of pasta with peas and some more pastries.

“I signed some cookbooks, and before I know it, I’m back in the car and back to the airport to catch a flight home,” De Laurentiis says before lamenting about the extreme Vegas heat.

The celebrity chef wades around her pool and makes an egg and arugula sandwich to help close out her day. “A quick dip, a light dinner and a movie with my boys, and my day is done,” says De Laurentiis while spreading out on the couch with her dogs andFarley.
