Everyone with a DSLR camera, get ready to be jealous…
On Tuesday night, I was invited into the News 8 studio to watch as they filmed. I loved it! I got to meet the incredibly gracious news crew and get a behind-the-scenes view of what goes on during a live broadcast.
Then, when my story came on the tv, it was surreal. Shelly Slater, the news anchor, had asked me to bring another cookie pie to the set, and–unbeknownst to me–they did a live taste-test in the middle of the show. Shelly set out two desserts and didn’t tell the other newscasters which one was the healthier one. She asked them to pick their favorite… and they both picked the deep-dish cookie pie!
If you’re new to my blog, the recipe can be found here:
Deep-Dish Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie
And this is what they did on the commercial break:
No one ever did finish that other cake…

Great job Katie! What a fantastic segment. You were awesome!
I really just want someone to make that deep dish cookie pie for me, I don’t have a food processor. Please 🙂
buuuuut I think your segment was amazing, I would have been so scared when the anchors were trying my food….congrats girl
Oh I was! I was so scared they would pick the other dessert… it was live tv 😕
Loved it! Can’t wait to try out the cake. Congrats on your first TV appearance!
How cool 🙂 I’m so happy for you!
Hi Katie,
Just wanted to say congrats on the news program!! That’s so great and the cookie pie looks fantastic 🙂 I’ll have to give it a try soon. I made your cookie dough dip for our super bowl party last weekend and EVERYONE loved it (and were shocked when I told them what was in it…or NOT in it I should say!)! I’m a dietitian in Chicago and think that what you do is amazing! I can’t wait to try out more recipes and recommend them to friends and clients looking for yummy vegan desserts!
congratulations katie! I’m so happy for you! I’ve been following your blog for about a year now, and to see how much the community here has grown in just a year! what an accomplishment! Keep it up – you’re awesome!
That was great Katie!! I’m definitely going to have to make it now!
congrats on your tv appearance! you looked amazing! its funny, i’ve always wondered what your voice sounds like…I’ve been reading your writing on this blog for so long! you should totally add videos to your blog entries!
anyway, I made a deep-dish cookie pie to celebrate you!
Katie–you did a great job on your tv debut! It seemed very effortless and natural for you. Maybe a cooking show in the future?? Love the recipe also!
