Two weeks ago WFAA Channel 8 our Local News Channel invited everyone to log on to wfaa.com and vote for what we thought were the Daybreak Anchors Favorite Foods. Then on the following Monday and each day throughout that week Daybreak will reveal their favorites AND show everyone how to make them. At the end of the week, Friday they will reveal the winner of the contest and let them come on the show and cook one of their favorite foods for them. Well I entered the contest and won, I couldn't believe it when they called and left the message. I was so nervous to go on the show and cook one of my favorite foods and tape it for the show. Talk about being out of my comfort zone and scared to death all at the same time.Here is the link to Day Breaks Favorite Foods and their recipes. I have included the video below, from my appearance on the show and the anchors helping me prepare the pie. There was definitely to many cooks in the kitchen, but really fun. We were joking around with Greg Fields the whole time since he dropped his dish when he was making his favorite food. All the Anchors were as nice in person as they are on TV. I was so surprised when they gave Mommy's Kitchen an awesome shout out at the end. It was so unexpected and exciting all at the same time, Thank you WFAA. I will be making each of the anchors favorite foods and then I will feature them on Mommy's Kitchen, so stayed tuned.
I made one of my favorites, a Dessert of course!!

I found your blog months ago when I was searching for a hot water cornbread recipe. My great aunt made the best hot water bread, and I miss that time in my life and you helped me recreate it. Since that time, I've been back often to your blog as it is so comforting.
I live in NYC now, but grew up in TX and I managed to get rid of my accent seven or eight years ago when I went to college. So when I heard you speak on the clip you provided, I knew you had to be from Texas. And many of your dishes are very similar to the ones I grew up with, but I never get to eat anymore. It's nice to know the traditions keep living.
Keep up the good work.
T. That is so funny when I watched the tape, I said do I sound like that? LOL I guess I do. I do hope you keep coming back to MK and find lots of great dishes to make. There is just something about southern food.
Congrats!
Congrats! You did a wonderful job, you didn't come across nervous at all!

That pie looks marvelous, too. I'm definitely going to have to give it a try soon.
It looks delicious.

Well, first of all, I really enjoy your blog and your recipes are great!
For your last post you wrote about your channel 8 news team. I recognized one of your newscasters in the picture. Chris Flanagan used to be on the local news from Des Moines, IA. I don't usually watch the station that he was on, but I did notice there was a new girl and he wasn't on anymore. Well, now I know why. He's on in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Funny stuff! I feel like we really know each other now. ;)
