Good Morning Arizona Live Demo

This morning I had another wonderful opportunity to work in-studio doing a live television segment with Good Morning Arizona - Channel 3 News. The crew was awesome as usual and the morning only had a few hiccups like almost not being able to purchase dry ice for my ice cream and nearly burning down their studio (luckily only the camera guy noticed - and responded with "I've been telling them to get a fire extinguisher for years now" --- all the while not moving an inch to torch the flames in the microwave - (*mental note - remove any metal ribbon from dishes prior to turning the microwave on) But other than that it was a blast. Fast as always and never going by the script - I loved being able to chat about my book, about The Real Women of Philadelphia and about my parents Ice Cream Parlor.

Everyone LOVED the ice cream sandwiches as I laughed when they had ice cream literally dripping down their chins! Kaley O'Kelley said they get a lot of food demonstrations coming in and the entire staff rarely all agrees on the quality of the dishes - but she was amazed that everyone was raving about the ice cream sandwiches. She continued to say how delicious they were as she finished off her own sandwich!

What a great experience and I look forward to many more!

Here is the link to the demo if you didn't get a chance to see it live:

Real Women of Philadelphia Cookbook

I'm totally going to go all "Paula Deen" on y'all, but do Y'ALL remember last fall when I was announced as one of the dessert winners for the Real Women of Philadelphia Contest with my original One Maple Bar, Please recipe? Here is the link to the announcement: Click HERE

Well, I just got an email from them with all the details about their Season Two cookbook and GUESS WHAT?! My recipe has a full page photo and recipe right dab in the dessert section. Full page people! How exciting is that! 



Their new cookbook is available through LuLu.com for a free download or $21.50 for the actual hard copy!

Hope you'll check it out! I'm on page 58-59. 

LIVE on Channel 12 News

Today was our big day on Channel 12 News! My early morning started at 3:15 am as my wonderfully supportive husband joined in getting ready and taking me down to the news station. Such an awesome experience as the news stations was much larger than when I was on Channel 3 and it was really neat to see the news broadcasted along the streets of downtown Phoenix.

If you didn't get a chance to watch me live this morning here is the link! Hoping to get a chance to be added to their "Most Watched" videos list so SHARE SHARE SHARE ;-)

GUESS WHO'S GOING TO BE ON CHANNEL 12?

Guess who's going to be on Channel 12 News featuring Sugar Loco in a LIVE SEGMENT! Me! Me! Me! I'm on such a sugar high right now!

This Monday,  3/26 , at 5:25 A.M.  I will be doing a live cooking segment featuring my cookbook, Our First Year: Cost Effective Recipes from the Home of Newlyweds as well as my newly added opportunity to write for Sugar Loco. Sugar Loco is a website completely dedicated to everything SWEET. We do reviews of local desserts across the country, as well as desserts that you can order online or see in the store.

So far I am LOVING the perks of the job - with being able to travel around AZ, sampling yummy desserts and writing my thoughts for all our viewers to see. Here are the links to my first two spots I hit up during my first week on the job:


Arrowhead Grill:

Chaparral Homemade Ice Cream:
http://www.sugarloco.com/2012/03/dessert-before-dinner-at-chaparral-phoenix/

For everyone who is not in AZ (or frankly are still sleeping at 5:25 am) there will be a link posted on their website with my demo, so I will definitely be sending that out  too.

So what's next? I need YOU!

Hoping you will forward this email on to at least 5 of your friends letting them know about this awesome opportunity. Also I'd LOVE the follow on my Facebook as well as Sugar Loco's facebook. Just click the colored links and it will take your right to our sites.  And finally - when you see my cooking demo online - LEAVE A COMMENT on Channel 12 New's site - THEY WILL LOVE IT!

Thank you all and stay tuned for some delicious sweets.

Oh yes - and how could I forget - I'm doing a live cooking demo too - Can you guess what it is?

Sweeeetttt

So very thankful for such awesome opportunities that God has already planned out for my journey! I am so thrilled to announce that I will be joining the team of Sugar Loco 

 A website dedicated to everything sweet!

 

First off, any company that wants you to join their team of writers by asking you

 "What type of Dessert You'd Be?" - I'm definitely going to be a part of!

What dessert would I be? 

I’d be a slice of warm, freshly baked, red velvet cake drizzled with a homemade cream cheese icing paired with a scoop of my parents homemade sweet cream ice cream, along with, of course, a pipping hot cup of black coffee kissed with milk in my favorite photo mug of the kiddos.

For the rest of my author bio- check it out here

I will be focusing on the hottest Arizona sweets, taste-testing and writing reviews for all to enjoy!
