When Eva LaRue of CSI: Miami stops by, Rachael asks the sexy actress if she ever has time to take a break for a hot date. "If you have somebody in mind ..." Eva says. "But only if it's somebody good. Because you know what, your friends always set you up with people and you're like, 'What were you thinking? Who's getting the better end of that deal? Are you better friends with them or with me?'"

Rachael has an idea for how potential suitors could meet Eva -- enter the Claritin Perfectly Clear Day contest. As a long-time allergy sufferer and Claritin user, Eva tells Rachael that the winner will spend an afternoon on a horseback ride with her through the buena vistas around Los Angeles. Rachael sweetens the deal: "And she's on Claritin, so she's not going to sneeze all over you!"

Besides looking for Mr. Right, Eva is searching for more food choices for her 5-year-old daughter. "She will barely eat anything," Eva says. "I don't know what kids did at the turn of the century -- there were no chicken fingers! They didn't have Spaghetti-O's. There were no little hamburgers from the fast food restaurants. They had to eat normal food. I guess I just need to get all tough-love on her. I've run out of hot things to put in her lunch Thermos." Rachael's got a quick and easy solution for Eva -- a Mini Meatball Soup which can last over several days. It's not only nutritious, but it could also be a fun activity for a mother and daughter to share. "She could help with this," Eva says, "because she's starting to love to cook now." Rachael agrees: "That is the number one thing to cure a picky eater -- give kids ownership. Get them in the kitchen with you. Get them to participate in what they're going to have for dinner. That little sense of pride kicks in, it helps their self-esteem and they want to try more stuff because they're a part of it."
