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
- 1-2Â 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.

That is so exciting! I’ll have to tell my Dallas friends to watch it for me! As for what to wear? With your personality and warmth I hardly think you need to worry about it! Your smile is gonna charm everyone 🙂 Good luck, Girl!
Congratulations! I’m so excited for you. 🙂
I absolutely love peanut butter and banana oatmeal!
Congratulations! It’s about time the rest of the world knows what we all do, your recipes are amazing. I’ve yet to find one that I don’t like 🙂
Hi! Do you know what is the name of the channel that it is going to be on? I live in the Columnia area of South Carolina! 😀
It’s Dallas’ ABC-affiliate channel (WFAA). I’m not sure it’s available outside of Texas and apparently parts of OK and Arkansas. But I’ll try to get footage for the blog.
Whoops, I meant Columbia…
I have to steer away from oats and peanut butter, but I’m going to try this today with cooked brown rice and sunflower nut butter. Thanks for another delicious idea!
Congratulations- and how cool!!! You’ll have to post a link to it if we can see it online!!
The oatmeal pudding looks awesome, and very similar to how I make my oatmeal. I add in egg whites too, because I love that custard-y flavor.
I’ve gotten really good at talking in front of a group, because I’m a teacher and have to do it every day. Piece of cake now- but it wasn’t always that easy!
Congratulations! I’m sure you will do very well. I’m looking forward to seeing it 🙂 I hate public speaking, hate it with a passion :/ haha
Congratulations Katie! I’m so exited for you! You totally deserve it! your recipes are always super delicious.
made it this morning! delicious!! added chocolate sun warrior protein powder and it was amazing!
