Neil Patrick Harris' better half, David Burtka, is Rachael's co-host for the day — and it's a party all hour long! David serves up chicken enchiladas, and we've got some literal party animals in the house. (Seriously, we're not monkeying around!) Then, top celebrity wedding planner Marcy Blum shares her DIY ideas for personalizing your big day. Plus, meet an empowering female street artist who is inspiring women everywhere — including in our studio. And Rachael's making a 30 Minute Meal: Spanish Shrimp Scampi and Rice.

It's Veterans Day, and we're heating things up! Party planner-to-the-stars, Mary Giuliani, is crashing a book club and bringing the club's members to the studio to hang with Rach. Mary's also showing us how to make DIY party poppers and more party crafts. And our buddy Jarod Miller is bringing by three live "stuffed" animals who love to eat. Then, we're helping a veteran get ready for the holidays with healthy twists on Thanksgiving classics. (Spoiler alert: healthy sweet potato casserole is on the menu!) Plus, Rach is cooking up spaghetti with bacon!
