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… 
Yay!!! This is too cool! The Lord continues to bless all your hard work and I am so excited & happy for you!! Yay katie!!!
Way to go Katie!
I knew you could do it!
By the way, I have tried that receipe and it’s delish!
Congratulations! You were exactly how I would have imagined. I love that you said you don’t necessarily love to cook, and if you want something, you want it now. I’m not vegan, but that is exactly why I love your site. Somehow, not cracking an egg makes it all feel so much easier. Your site leads to so much experimentation and just trying new things. You have introduced me to coconut oil, pastry flour, oat flour, and of course, garbanzo beans, among many others. I love it! Thanks for all you do!
Aw thanks, Karen! Yes, people are always so surprised to hear I don’t like to cook! But if we like to eat, we have to cook, right? 😉
Awesome! What an honor!
That’s so awesome – especially since it wasn’t “set up” or anything. I can’t wait to make this recipe…maybe I should make that for vday.
Ahh! So excited for you! You were awesome!!! 🙂
I’m glad you opened this up for comments. I watched the news clip and it inspired me to make the deep dish cookie pie! It looks so good!
Congratulations – the story turned out great!
Great job! Thanks for posting the link I am so excited that I got to see it! I hope that this leads to many positive opportunities for you. You deserve it. I love your recipes. I haven’t found one yet that I don’t like. The deep dish cookie pie is amazing. I made it last Thanksgiving and no one knew there were beans in it. My son, who doesn’t like beans, loved it as well as the cookie dough dip which I made more recently. Thank you for helping me get some fiber in that kid! Congratulations again.
Hehe I’m so glad he likes it!!
I’m from the Dallas area orginally (in NYC now) and my parents still live there. Mom watches the Channel 8 news religiously, and I asked if she saw this segment. All she could say is how cute you are! And that she was tempted to try the recipe herself…take that as a compliment, because suffice it to say she is NOT a healthy dessert eater! Congratulations!
Aww that really makes me so happy!
P.S. You’re so lucky to actually get to live in NYC! 🙂
