I Was On LIVE Television This Morning — YIKES!
This morning I was at the WZZM-ABC studio by 8:45 for their 9-10am LIVE show called, Take 5 and Company. I had asked many people to pray that it would go well and He answered — it was fun! When I first got there they had me wait in the green room with the other guests who were on today, and I really enjoyed getting to know some of them:
Especially Max and his Mom. They were there with a gal from Gilda Club, telling about a book Max wrote with five other friends called, “Guys Guide to Grief”. The boys all tell about how they dealt with the death of their Dads (and for one boy, his Grandpa).
Eventually that nice guy you see in the white shirt came in and got us all set with a mic. (Yes, I was a little nervous going to the bathroom after I had that on.) Then they had me get my stuff that I was going to talk about situated and ready to roll in on this big table:
I probably should've set the table up in a more attractive way but I stink at that stuff, so oh well. When it was my turn, I walked onto the set and chatted with Catherine for a bit (she's really easy to talk to) and then asked, “How do we know we're on?” The next moment a guy said, “10 seconds!” Alrighty then, it was time…
I was surprisingly comfortable (thank you Lord!) and excited to get the truth about real food out to more people! I made a couple little flubs, but thankfully nothing too terrible. (I wish I'd had more time to explain organic foods better.)
Afterward Catherine was joking about how she might have the I Can't Believe it's Not Butter spray in her kitchen, and I said, “Oh please can I get you to throw it out?! I'll come do a kitchen clean-out at your house next time!” She said, “I'd like to do that, but it would be embarrassing. I have your contact info, I'll get in touch.” Who knows if she will, but I'd love to help her and let her know she doesn't need to be embarrassed, because she's just buying the stuff that “they” have told us for decades is good for us. Who can blame people for not knowing what to buy? (That's why I wrote Real Food for Rookies!)
Another guy on the set asked about the stuff you can buy that's an olive oil-butter mix, so we chatted about that a bit. I told him that it's probably okay if it's just those two things on the ingredient label, but I've seen it before and don't think that's the case. Plus, since olive oil in the store is often fake, I wouldn't trust that from a grocery store and would just buy butter instead and add your own olive oil that you know is real when you're cooking. I think it's interesting that everyone is getting more interested in real food these days, have you noticed that in your corner of the world, too?
Here's the link to watch my segment. Note that they warned me that these videos don't stay up forever.
So then I came home and made the kids breakfast. 🙂

brainstembob says
Kelly, I did NOT watch this live, as you threatened (I mean asked, you ASKED!) me not to. I swear I didn’t, but I have seen it and DANG you looked so comfortable and natural on the air! I don’t think this is the last time we see you on the airwaves. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
KitchenKop says
Thanks Bob, yeah, I was a little freaked ahead of time about my friends and family watching live, but I ended up posting it on Facebook that morning because I had gotten over it by then, lol. 🙂
Beverly Smith says
Thank you to both Jill and Kelly. No, I’m not from your area, I’m from Connecticut, but I’ll investigate better options for those little grandsons in my area. Great information and again, I thank you both.
Carrie says
Kelly, you were a natural! I think it’s time for you to get out from behind the screen, and get more ON screen! I sent an email requesting them to have more segments with you 😉
Lori says
Awesome! You did a great job! Too bad they did not give you more time!
Beverly Smith says
Terrific job. Hope they have you on regularly. Question: my daughter-in-law buys that brand of organic milk for our grandsons, as I told her to buy Organic. What’s bad about it? Please enlighten me. Thanks
Jill says
I can answer that for you, Beverly. While it’s good that it’s organic and whole (rather than low fat), ultra-pasteurized milk is extremely difficult to digest. The extreme processing that most commercial milk–even organic–undergoes pretty much destroys it. Between the homogenization and the ultra-pasteurization, you’re left with a basically undigestible, highly damaged product with very little real nutrition left (hence the adding of vitamins). http://www.realmilk.com has good info on why whole, fresh, raw milk is the way to go. If you can’t get local raw milk, low-temp pasteurized is a good alternative.
kitchenkop says
Thanks Jill! Yes Beverly, hopefully your daughter-in-law can find a better option, and how awesome that she takes your advice! Here in town (I’m not sure if you’re local to me or not), we have a great option for those who don’t want to source raw milk for whatever reason, it’s Hilhof Dairy. The cows are local, pastured (as much as possible in Michigan), AND the milk is pasteurized but not homogenized. It even comes in glass bottles, and it tastes great, too! You can get it at Harvest Health, Nourish Organic Market, or Kingma’s. (Maybe other places, but I don’t know more off the top of my head.)

Sharon says
You were fabulous! Very enjoyable :).
Sarah says
Looked great Kelly!!! You seemed so relaxed. I think I would have talked too fast and stumbled over my words but you did not!
KitchenKop says
Thanks Sarah, that was not me for sure, that was God answering prayers! 🙂
