Woke up really early Friday.
I couldn’t sleep; I was too eager for the television feature.
(If I’ve been talking about it way too much, please forgive me! I’m just so excited!) And so I went for a run in the dark (in shorts, because it was an insanely-warm 63 degrees. Last year at this time, we were under almost a foot of snow and ice!).
Post-run breakfast was amazing: Apple Pie Pancakes.
These pancakes really do taste like you’re eating an actual slice of apple pie! I usually make pancakes up in bulk and freeze leftovers so I don’t have to cook when I’m in a rush. And Friday I was definitely in a rush, needing to shower, change, and drive to my parents’ house where the news crew would be filming. (The kitchen in my condo is tiny, so I decided it’d be better to film in their kitchen.)
I listened to everyone’s suggestions to keep it simple, stay away from white and red, and wear something that reflects the upbeat tone of my blog (hence the frilly Anthropologie apron).
Deciding what to make on tv was a no-brainer:
………………………………….Chocolate-Chip Cookie Cake
The entire filming process took less than an hour, and Shelly Slater (the news reporter) was so incredibly nice. I completely forgot to feel nervous… although now I’m apprehensive, waiting for the feature to air!
If you’re in the area surrounding Dallas/Ft. Worth, or even Oklahoma, you can see the story on Channel 8’s 5 o’clock news tonight. (I’m nervous telling you all this, because I haven’t seen it yet. I really hope I don’t look ridiculous on live tv!)
Question of the Day:
If you had the chance to cook on tv, what ONE dish would you make?
I thought about making my Hot Chocolate Fudge Bites.
But somehow, a cookie pie seems much more fancy-schmancy. Maybe I’ll make hot chocolate fudge bites when I have my own television show ;).
Dream…
This is so awesome Katie. Good choice for the shirt and apron too.
I wish I was down in TX so I could watch. I’m sure you were great.
Congratulations!
ohh I hope it airs online, I’d love to see it!
I am sure that you did amazing! Congratulations!
That’s so exciting! Congrats! And oh gosh, I would not want to cook on TV! I still think someone is going to write on my blog that I’m a fake and my recipes are awful! If I had to choose, I’d stick with oatmeal since I know I wouldn’t mess it up!
Congratulations! You deserve this and I’m sure we will be seeing a lot more of you on tv in the future. I personally think you would be a perfect guest on the Dr Oz show….too bad I don’t have any pull. I LOVE the apron by the way and I hope you post a link so we can watch the show here in PA. BTW I just made the chocolate fudge pie AGAIN and it was soooo good! My hubby took one bite and said “This is the most delicious thing I’ve ever tasted!” That means a lot since he’s not one to gush. Thanks again for sharing your great ideas….will be trying the cookie cake soon!
That really means a lot to me!
Will you please record it and post it for us? I know we’d all love to watch!
I know you will be great! 🙂
I looked up the Dallas Fort-Worth ABC Channel and this is what I found.

Would that be the station it would be on?
It was actually on ABC. Here’s the link: http://www.wfaa.com/news/health/Healthy-Desserts-Yes-its-possible-138873534.html
YOU DID SO WELL KATIE! congrats xx
Great choices, love the desserts! I’m surprised there’s not more chocolate though!
So fun to be on t.v., congrats!!
That is seriously so cool! …..I bet you’ll look and do great on live TV! Just wait! It will be great!
Im so excited for you …your blog will now get a well deserved bump in traffic. Everyone will now enjoy your recipes
Once the feature airs, can you post it up on your blog so the rest of us can see it?!
oooh, let us non-TX readers know if it’s available online for viewing! I’m so happy for you; what a great opportunity! And you look beautiful, as always.
It needs to be up on Youtube!!! I can’t watch it from Singapore 🙁
Congrat! You look great! Please post a clip when you can, can’t wait to see it!
Someone should definitely record it so you can post it online for us non-Americans to see! Because I live in Sweden but really wanna see it 😀
Katie, I love your apron – great choice for the cameras! I also have a frilly one from Anthropologie: part hippy, part 1950s housewife… they’re so fun to wear and cook in!
