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…
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!
I’d probably make some pasta because it’s impossible to mess up! My biggest fear would be that I would make something boil over or burn something. Great outfit choice for the segment, btw 😀
Congrats! Any chance you are going to record it and post it for us non-texans?
Congrats! Cookie pie sounds delicious.
Do you think you’ll be able to post a link to the segment after it airs tonight? I’d love to see it, even though I don’t live in the area!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! You look beautiful and your apron is too cute!! So glad the taping went well and I’m just bummed I’m not in Dallas so I can’t see it! I hope you record it and put it on the blog!
you look gorgeous in that pic!!
I cannot wait to see you (I hope you will link to the video once it is up!) and hear your voice!
Very good decision you made, I could not chose only one dish I think… But definitely something sweet, way more fun on tv!
I’m so happy for you! I think you picked the perfect apron and definitely a perfect recipe! I’ll have to YouTube search it or something because Im not in your state. Unless, the video is available on the news site? I’m looking forward to watching you make magic in the kitchen 😉
Congratulations CCK!
You look adorable, love the apron! Can’t wait to see this feature, please tell me you’ll YouTube it!
Gosh, I would probably make my Better-than-Starbucks’ pumpkin cream cheese muffins as they are the most popular recipe on my blog, and I love showing people how they can healthify things they often eat out.
