All my life I have dreamed of hosting my own cooking show and this summer I became one step closer to my dream! I was asked to appear on a local Arizona television show called Sonoran Living to share a simple and fun dessert recipe. The experience of being a part of a live television show was unexplainable…I was on cloud nine!

For the first section of the show I was a guest judge for a Chef Challenge. You can watch a little bit of that segment here!

Later in the show I also had a short segment making Peanut Butter Nutella Ice Cream Sandwiches….YUM! These are great to make in the summertime with the whole family and can be customized in infinite number of ways. Watch the segment of me making this treat with Andi Barness here! You can also get the recipe on the link.

Here are a few snapshots of my experience!

Overall, the experience of appearing on Sonoran Living is something I will never forget. The crew and hosts were so welcoming to me, and the support I received from friends and family was amazing. (Thank you!) I am more certain, now than ever, that this is exactly the career that I want to pursue and how I want to make my mark in the world. Food Network–here I come!

Love food. Love self. Love life.
