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.

Congratulations on the feature and good luck! That is really amazing. People are going to love that recipe.
I just love oatmeal and peanut butter together, but then again I pretty much eat peanut butter and everything!!
congrats for being on TV!!!! WOOHOO! i’ll try to watch it! <3
I just spent all day speaking to a group, so I’m pretty comfortable as well. There’s always butterflies, but once I get talking it’s all good. Good luck and congrats on the awesome opportunity!!
Wow, Congrats to you! I’m sure you will do awesome!
Looks delicious! Your recipes have yet to fail me. Good luck on TV…I’m sure you will do great!
How exciting! Hope you can post a link for us to see if we don’t live in the area 🙂
God Bless!
Congrats Katie!!! I’m not in the area but would love to see the segment so I hope that’s possible! Good luck. I’m sure you will find something fabulous to wear!
I’m actually going to be on tv next week too! Just the local morning show, but I’m still nervous about what to wear too! I went shopping last weekend and completely struck out. My fashion-y friend told me that she’s heard you should stick to solid colors rather than stripes or patterns when you are on tv, but that you should go with a nice, bright color like a blue or green or red. Does that help? Have fun!
Thanks! And good luck to YOU as well! 🙂
That is awesome!! I am so excited for you! And that breakfast looks amazing!
