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…
Katie–you looked great for the debut! I live in NC–could you post a video or clip of your TV blurb on your blog?! I would love to see it! 🙂
You look great and I am with the others in hoping we get to watch it somehow!!
I’m soooo happy for you! I bet your were fantastic! I really hope (and am requesting) that you post a clip of it on your site later! I want to see it, but won’t be able to pick it up live.
If possible, could you try to post a video of your television debut? I would LOVE to see it, but I live in Florida…. :/
Katie – That is amazing! Way to go, girl!! 🙂
I want to see it! But I live in Washington… Lame. But that’s nice you didn’t feel nervous. I only feel nervous before preforming or reading something aloud the few minutes right before it and after that I’m fine.
JUST watched ya on TV!!!! Thats was awesome!!
Just saw your feature and it was fabulous! You did great and they were truly impressed with the cake, very inspirational!
Would love to see your TV debut if you can post it sometime – congratulations! I live in England, so would need your help to watch it.
I have been following you for a few weeks now, making something from your site with my toddler two or three times a week. I have no gallbladder, so need to stay on the side of low fat and we like my little one to eat low or natural sugars. There is always something on your site! Not to mention those wonderful concoctions with beans of some kind – basically one of your five-a-day! We really love your recipes! And the cookie cake is a real winner, great choice for your TV appearance.
We will be making those pancakes any day now!
Aww thanks, Boo!
🙂 🙂
I would have been super nervous at the time, super nervous waiting for it to air, and nervous as I was watching myself! BUT – I think you’ll be great! I hope to see a link if it’s posted online. 🙂
I just watched it online! It was great… I only wish it was longer and showed you more!! Congrats on the feature!!
How fun! Congrats to you!!!
Just saw you on NBC and found your blog. Great segment and excited to try your recipes
I watched it, def gotta try this recipe!
I watched the video online and I must say that I was so excited to see you on the news. This might sound weird but after reading your wonderful blog for awhile now it’s so nice to actually see you and hear your voice. I love your blog and recipes so much and you’ve actually inspired me in so many ways.
Haha no it doesn’t sound weird! I like putting a face/voice to a name, too! Thank you so much for such a sweet comment!
Just watched it!! So cool, and great that everyone loved your cookie pie!!
Way to go Katie, you truly have made it so far, you should feel so accomplished and proud of yourself 🙂
