I’m going to be on television!!
The Dallas ABC affiliate news team is filming a story on me, for the 5 o’clock news! It’s pretty much the coolest thing to happen to me since… ever?!
For the feature, I’m thinking of either making the Deep Dish Cookie Pie or the Black Bean Brownies.
Right now I’m more excited than nervous, but that’s maybe just because it hasn’t really sunk in yet how many people are going to see this! Today’s agenda: figuring out what to wear, setting up dishes, and going on a cleaning spree. To power me through, I made a stand-by favorite breakfast:
This isn’t your average bowl of peanut butter oats. The cooking method makes this breakfast taste like you are eating a giant bowl of gooey peanut butter pudding. It’s life-changing… at least as far as breakfast is concerned!
Peanut Butter Breakfast Pudding
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 a ripe banana
- 1-2 tbsp peanut butter OR allergy-friendly alternative
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- sweetener of choice, to taste
- optional: chocolate chips
Instructions
Cook the oats, salt, and milk (either on the stove or in the microwave). Meanwhile, blend the pb and banana. Then add your vanilla, sweetener, and 1/2 of the cooked oats to the blender (I used a Magic Bullet) and re-blend. Stir in the rest of the oats. You can blend all the oats if you prefer, but I like the chewiness of leaving some un-blended.
Are you comfortable speaking in front of a group?
Or do you dread giving public presentations? Have you ever acted in a play or been on tv? I always loved giving class presentations and speeches in school, so I probably would’ve enjoyed acting. Unfortunately, I was too busy with soccer and tennis to join the drama club. As for the upcoming tv story, I am nervous about one thing (which might sound silly and superficial): what to wear. I’m clueless about fashion. Any tips?? Please send them my way!
Side note: I updated the Chocolate-Covered Katie Press Page.
I am in Dallas, too! Tell us when you’ll be on!
This is actually a post from 2012. The segment aired on ABC in Dallas, but it doesn’t seem to be available for me anymore. Maybe it’s just my computer? In any case, here is the segment:

Okay! So I am definitely going to try these PB oats! As far as what to wear is concerned; I’m an actress and each costume department has different tastes/goals but there are a few things most agree on: Stay away from patterns- they tend not to “read” well on screen. (I.e. small pinstripes can make you a blurry mess on screen.) Stick to solid, true colors. Also, avoid white-it reads “hot” on screen and can make you look as bright as the sun! My basic rule of thumb is to find something you love to wear. The more comfortable you are in your clothes, the more comfortable you will look on screen. Once you’ve decided what style you want, pick a color family that flatters your skin tone and then find the richest shade of that color. For example: I am olive skinned and look best in jewel tones. Olive green, Blues, and light pastels. Try to avoid a true green though, just in case there is a green screen. No one wants to be a floating head on TV! Good luck and congrats!
I feel like such a fool!! I didn’t read the post date before posting a comment. This was SO long ago! Either way, I’ll still try this recipe 🙂
My advice, be yourself! That is the reason you are where you are today, you have so many followers! Smile a lot!
You will be fine Katie, just talk to the camera like you “talk to us” on your blog.
Now go out there and knock it out of the park!
Very excited for you!! Make sure to post the link after it airs so we long-distance folks can see! Good luck!
I made this for my 10 year old daughter. She LOVES this recipe and so do I. Thanks so much for the great website!
This is delicious. I’ve made it several times and I’d say definitely use the full 2 tablespoons peanut butter. It’s quick, easy, and tastes great – can’t ask for more than that!
I found this recipe looking through SkinnyMom website and made it. It is divine!!!! I did add some dark choc chips, yum!! Thank you! Pinned
Hi, do you need to use instant rolled oats for this, or is quick cooking rolled oats ok?
so nice of you, you are so lovely
My daughter and I have recently become vegans. We have tried many of your recipes including this one and I have to say that every one has been a true winner. Being huge dessert fans, we are so grateful for your website. Thanks for all you do Katie, and congrats on all of your success!!!
I tried this today.. it is delicious. To be honest I did not add sweetener or chocolate chips so I believe it is a great choice for those who follow a fodmap diet for digestive issues. I saw an oatmilk option and think I may try it when making this next time!
