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…
I LIVE IN TEXAS AND JUST RECORDED IT!!! AHHHH CAN’T WAIT!! :))))))
AWWW. Katie! So happy for you and I many of those aprons, they are the best! Hope to see it soon lovely. 🙂
I love that apron!! I got a similar one at an art festival last year! Anthro is waaaaay to expensive for me LOL!
I hope the video is online! I want to see it !
If you had a tv show, I would watch every single episode. 🙂 I wish I could see your tv debut!!! Will you post a video on youtube after???
Just fyi – I’ve been sharing a LOT of your cookie dough dip and everyone loves it! I’ve also been eating quite a bit of it myself…on everything. This morning, I topped my vans gf waffle with it (don’t judge) and it was a great way to start my day!
aww lol!
Yes, I will post about it! http://www.wfaa.com/news/health/Healthy-Desserts-Yes-its-possible-138873534.html
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.
