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…

Awesome! You were so well-spoken in the video! And I think it’s great you mentioned most recipes fail at first… it gives novices hope 😉
I WILL be making that cookie pie very soon. Congrats again!
Where can I find the video of this segment online?
Omigosh I just watched the feature and am so excited for you! You looked gorgeous and sounded so sweet and smart! I’m so glad they decided to do this feature on you and hope that they bring you back again soon! Now I really need to make the recipe myself after so many people loved it!
Great job, Katie!! What gets me is that they were surprised that something vegan tastes good. What did they expect it to taste like? Dirt? Grass?
Haha I know, right?! I mean, it’s chocolate, after all!
Go Katie!! You are AMAZING 🙂 I’ve been subscribed to your blog for some time & I’m so excited about this well done story! In honor of your success, I’m enjoying some Deep-Dish Cookie Pie right NOW! 🙂 This is the 3rd time I’ve made it. Thank you so much for all you do!
I was so sad when I couldn’t leave a comment! Katie you are my hero! That news spot was well deserved. It inspired me so much! I hope to come up with something as cool as this blog one day so I can share it with everyone too. You are the best! Keep the chocolate comin’ girl!!
Aww thank you!
I was so worried I wouldn’t be able to see it as I live in London – so glad I was able to watch it no problem!! You were fantastic Katie. xx
Katie, congratulations!!! Wowzers! That is so amazing to be featured on the news! I ran into your blog thru pint rest last week. I am so excited to try soooooo many! We eat a yummy whole foods diet. We aren’t vegan but do love whole foods! I was so blessed to come across your blog. I made your first recoipe this morning! I signed upmfor your emails and the first thing I got was for the German chocolate fudge bites! NO SUGAR!!! Amazing! Better yet, my 4 yr old daughter and 7 year old son LOVED them!!! I didn’t feel bad letting them have them either!!! Sweetened by the dates! Anyway, I’m a big fan! Good luck to you and your recipes and SO looking forward to your cookbook someday!
Thank you! I am so so excited y’all liked the fudge bites :).
Katie, this is great! I feel like I just watched a great friend get her moment in the spotlight! You should be so proud — i know we are all proud of you!
