Happy Thursday everybody! A couple of us were a bit sleepy today at Twin Cities Live since we were up partying late last night at the Aquatennial Torchlight Parade along Hennepin Avenue! John showed off his dance skills, Elizabeth and Paige and I bonded over John’s ridiculousness, and we had a blast meeting fans and walking in the parade! It was the first parade I’d ever been in, and it was so much fun to hang out with such great people. Be sure to check out our exclusive behind the scenes videos from the parade, AND all the hilarious pictures on our Facebook page.

And while I was sleepy, the aroma of delicious vegetable stir fry woke me up instantly in the studio. I couldn’t believe how delicious and HEALTHY Mary Jane Miller’s recipe was and I could not stop eating it! I’m usually drawn to the sweeter and saltier meals we feature on the show (and BBQ of course), but the stir fry was so delectable that I began asking Mary Jane whether or not I could come over for dinner some time. Tomorrow’s our live audience day so we’re excited to see all of you there!
