Dreams really can come true!

On Friday, May 20th, I made my TV debut on the Today Show, cooking vegan crab cakes with Al Roker. It was so much fun!! Until the rehearsal the evening before, I was afraid to tell anyone about my upcoming appearance. What if they changed their minds and didn’t want me on? This opportunity was major, and I couldn’t risk jinxing myself. For 6 weeks I told only my closest family members and friends about the show.

The night before I could barely sleep for all the rehearsing I was doing in my head. I barely had time to get nervous before they put me on set, and I kept it cool the whole segment. Even finished my recipe on time. Yeah, I was a pro 😉

…and the Today Show team: INCREDIBLE! They all made me feel at home. Al Roker, Tamron Hall and Natalie Morales were so charming and kind. Everyone from the production team was a rockstar. Of course they were professional, but they were also super friendly and fun to be around. Shoutout to the whole crew!!

Fingers crossed I will be on the show again. Tamron said, “If all vegan food tastes like this, I would become vegan tomorrow. Well, dang girl. I will show you the way and the light!!
