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.

SUPER CONGRATULATIONS! Wear bright, happy colors because it suits your personality!
This is great! How exciting! I’ve seen you here in a blue sequined top, not sure if you still have it, but it sure made your eyes pop. Best of luck, breathe and enjoy!
Congratulations! TV–that is so exciting!
And you breakfast looks delicious–peanut butter and banana oatmeal is one of my favorites!
Where/how can I watch this in Canada??
I’ll try to post footage after it airs :).
Awesome!!
Congratulations on your success! I will be trying this oatmeal in the morning! Thank you!
deep dish chocolate chip cookie pie all the way! good luck with your interview on the news.
Congrats and GOOD LUCK- I’ll be rooting for you!!
Your recipes are amazing. I am obsessed with sweets and continually impressed with your ability to make healthy and flavorful food!
Oh my gosh, I’m so, so excited for you!! What a wonderful opportunity and you totally deserve it! You create the most amazing recipes and I’m glad you get to share them with the tv-viewing world! I’ve always been comfortable with public speaking and was in plays growing up and then was in Speech and Debate and Moot court in high school! I’m with you, figuring out what to wear is the hardest part! I’d go with something classic and if you are going to be cooking you could wear a cute apron!
My first comment on ur blog..
Congratulations on this splendid TV opportunity!! I was on tv for an icecream commercial. While shooting, they said it’s only an audition.. so naturally I wasn’t very nervous. But as it turned out, they used the audition footage for the commercial. oops! My tip is to wear 3/4 length sleeves… easier to work with, in a kitchen.
I can’t wait to make your deep dish cookie pie! I hope you can suggest a workaround for the 1.5 C brown sugar. That will make the pie completely healthy. 🙂
I use Nunaturals stevia baking blend. You can go cup for cup but I’ve found I get no stevia taste if I use half the amount. It’s still plenty sweet enough!
I tend to halve the recipe and use about 5-6 Tbs of baking blend.
That stuff is *awesome*. Nunaturals is the only stevia brand I like – no icky aftertaste.
I use it for everything – homemade vegan frozen yogurt, ice cream, baking, etc. 🙂 I even used half baking blend and half powdered sugar recently to make a really tasting frosting.
Second the nunaturals love :).
But also, I’ve never baked this following sugar-free recipe: https://lett-trim.today/2011/09/27/new-recipe-sugar-free-cookie-dough-dip/%3C/a%3E%3Cbr /> Maybe you could try it baked? If you do, please let me know how it turns out!! I’d be so interested to know.
