I teach him how to cook Chicken Parmigiana from my cookbook FABULICIOUS! (it's Gabriella's favorite dish) and I give him stylish party tips. xx

Remember when we got Gia a pink quad for her birthday? Look how muddy it is! And she is! I'm going to have such a time cleaning everybody up tonight! But they love being outside and exploring the woods. They all climbed up in an old treehouse. Hope you're all having a great day! xx

I do have to explain about the sandwich on Rachael Ray. It was *not* my sandwich! We all created our own sandwich, and mine was called "Teresa Giudice's Hot-Blooded Housewife Hoagie" (you can see our menu here). You know how I like my food: hot, Italian, and delicious! It had my roasted hot peppers, spicy sopressata, prosciutto, provolone, Kalamata olives, oil and vinegar on Focaccia bread. I know it would have won! I would never have sent a turkey sandwich on sliced bread to the Rachael Ray show, but it was Patricia's choice, and she was the project manager, so I respected it. But I didn't love when she said the sandwich was made by me & Victoria in the boardroom! We technically "made" all the sandwiches in the kitchen, but I didn't create that one or send it over!

And yes, my recipe for roasted peppers--one of my dad's favorite things to eat, that's why I named it after him--"Papa's Roasted Peppers" and homemade "Fabulicious Focaccia" bread (which is easier than you think and so so good!) are both in my second cookbook FABULICIOUS!

What other questions can I answer? I got my black & white dress from the Lincoln Center scene from Steven Dann in Long Island. The green dress from the boardroom was from my amazing designer friend Marc Bouwer. The boardroom is harder than you can even imagine. You never know what Mr. Trump is going to say. As you saw with Tia, he turns things around on you. Soooo stressful.

Cheryl Tiegs was amazing. I really loved her. We got along great. And she does have an amazing positive energy about her. I also love love love Aubrey. We ended up working together the most and were partners in crime--especially after the cameras stopped rolling! Adam Corolla is soooo funny! So is Arsenio. Clay was very nice and very sweet... until you crossed him. I loved Lou. We bonded being Italians. It was great having so many Italians on the show. Paul Teutul probably surprised me the most. He was like a big teddy bear. He was very protective of the cast, and I always felt very safe around him. He reminded me of my Joe. And Victoria Gotti was also a surprise. She is crazy smart. Did you know she wrote 5 novels, 2 nonfiction books, and a book on heart disease called "Women & Mitral Valve Prolapse"? And she was a journalist for the NY Post and Star magazine and is now the Editor-in-Chief of Reality TV Magazine. Like I said, crazy smart.

Thank you all for your amazing support and messages on Twitter & Facebook! It means so much to me! I adore you all! I read all of your messages and reply to as many as I can. 

I am so glad I decided to do Celebrity Apprentice, because it turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life, and the fact that I've been able to raise awareness for NephCure.org makes it even better. We need to cure this disease! Please visit their website and help out: www.nephcure.org.

Oh, and if you missed the episode, you can watch it on Hulu.com. xx

I'm honored to be playing for NephCure.org in honor of a little boy named Matthew Levine that I met who touched my heart. Please root for me and help support NephCure! xx

Afterwards, I went back home to spend Valentine's with my honey and my girls. I made them all a fabulicious dinner. Hope you all had a great night! xx

I know I haven't been blogging or Tweeting or Facebooking a lot lately, but I wanted to give you a little break before I stormed your TVs again and you got sick of me! But the countdown is officially on! 7...6...5...4...

Celebrity Apprentice starts in exactly one week -- the premiere is Sunday, Feb 19 at 9pm ET on NBC -- and from then on I'll be on your TVs through the Fall or something because Season 4 of RHONJ will start up sometime after Apprentice. And in May I'm going on another book tour for my 3rd cookbook: "Fabulicious--Fast & Fit!"

In the meantime, I've just been enjoying hanging out with my family. Joe and I just went to our very first Bat Mitzvah for the beautiful daughter of a friend of ours. It was amazing. We were honored to be invited.

I also recently took my mom and my mother-in-law to the Mohegan Sun just for a girls' night out. We had a wonderful time. Love my mammas!

And here are a few pics of Audriana and Gabriella. Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend! xx

I've always loved bellinis--they were invented in Venice almost 100 years ago. It's champange or sparkling wine with peach nectar. It's like a delicious mimosa that you can drink any time! It can be hard to find peach nectar though, so I decided to make a pre-bottled mixed bellini myself--and I named it Fabellini. I partnered with the Brotherhood Winery, the oldest winery in America. I'm so so so proud of it. And it tastes delicious!!! And Fabellini is low calorie--less than 1/2 the calories of other "skinny" drinks. 

I'm debuting 2 Fabellini flavors: peach and raspberry. I love them both! Perfect for your Valentine's celebration xx

PS--Due to national shipping restrictions, some states, including NJ--I cannot believe it--cannot have wine shipped to them from online sites. But stay tuned, it will be in Gary's and lots of other places soon! xx
