Ellen & Oprah
LOOK what I finally got my hands on this afternoon! 
Ellen and Oprah are on the cover of O Magazine!!!!! I know I’m a dork, but I am so excited! 
I’m such an enormous fan of both of these ladies (for obvious reasons!), so I needed to buy this magazine as soon as I saw it. I can’t wait to crack it open and read it in bed tonight!
So, I’m basically obsessed with Ellen. I never miss her show, and I don’t think there is anyone funnier out there than her. Her humor always seems to brighten my day. And, of course, I’m psyched she finally made it on the cover of O!
Ok, enough of my weirdo obsession! 
Lunch
I didn’t take photos of lunch today– sometimes I’m just a bad blogger. 
I was in the middle of watching Slumdog Millionaire (loved it!), so I just grabbed a quick bowl of Raisin Bran with sliced banana and low-fat milk for lunch. I also munched on some cheddar cheese Combos while watching the movie. It was so much easier than pausing the movie to snap photos!
Dinner
My wonderful husband cooked dinner for us tonight while I hit the gym for about an hour. Mal made a DELICIOUS pizza with Gruyere cheese, sliced ham, and marinara sauce.
Gruyere cheese knocks my socks off! Holy yum!
I added a veggie-licious side salad to dinner.
The pizza was so amazing, I ended up eating a second piece after I snapped these photos, so I didn’t take a picture of it.
As you can see (or not see?), I was having a lazy blogger day today!
Dessert was a big chunk of Scharffen Berger bittersweet chocolate. Amazing.
The guys are already in bed, so I’m off to join them.
Good night, blog friends!

I went to the store just to buy a copy of O Magazine too!! I’m so glad Oprah finally let Ellen on her magazine cover! LOVE them both

I’m the same way with Ellen – she’s amazing! I just bought the magazine and can’t wait to look at it tonight!

That pizza looks so yummy, I love gruyere to and chocolate to round out the night!
Enjoy reading in bed with your boys!

You’re so good about blogging, you deserve to take time off every once in a while. I adore Ellen AND Oprah — can’t wait to get the magazine — they were great on Oprah’s show last week.
Kara — November 14, 2009 @ 11:51 pm
Gruyere + ham on pizza sounds delicious — I have to give it a try!
Sometimes lazy days are totally necessary
Katie — November 14, 2009 @ 11:57 pm
I love Ellen. She’s funny and so just what you see is what you get. It’s refreshing. I LOVE that she made the cover because she is a positive role model.
Yummy food. What is it with pizza lately? I am missing out!
Julie @ Peanut Butter Fingers — November 14, 2009 @ 11:58 pm
ellen is AWESOMe. i love her “here and now” stand up DVD. soooo hysterical.
Joelle (The Pancake Girl) — November 15, 2009 @ 12:27 am
Looks like a lovely day! And omg, how hilarious is Ellen and her Oprah obsession.. she’s the best!
Ameena — November 15, 2009 @ 12:29 am
The pizza looks delicious! Saturday nights at home are the best sometimes.

That pizza looks SO good. I don’t think I’ve ever tasted gruyere by itself, so I’m not sure if I like it a lot. But judging from my relationship with other kinds of cheese, I’m sure it tastes heavenly
BroccoliHut — November 15, 2009 @ 1:16 am
I’m a big Ellen fan too! Not only do I love her as a person, but my body associates her with food–I watch her show during lunch:)
Carina the Blogarina — November 15, 2009 @ 1:57 am
I lobe both their shows! Even though Ellen can be a bit to much some times and I’m so bored with dr. oz on oprah. I wonder why they did two different covers.. probably trying to get people to by copies!
I loved slumdog millionaire to, but I don’t think I could bare to see it again. To think that this actually happens to children in India (and probably other places to) it’s just to hard to even imagine. You should read the book! It’a amazing! I read it 5 years ago, and loved kit. It has more questions, and more stories of how the main character learns things. I loved the movie, but the book was better.

did you see the oprah interview with ellen? that was quite good too.
Jenna — November 15, 2009 @ 2:15 am

i interned at the ellen show last year and it was, hands down, the most amazing time of my life. she’s the funniest and nicest boss you could ever ask for! my mom and i bought this magazine on thursday – we’ve been counting down the days until the release! definitely make sure to read the article titled “the fat fight” – i think it’s really powerful and something a lot of bloggers would take interest in.
Erika — November 15, 2009 @ 2:47 am
Tina, I’m definitely with you! I LOVE Ellen, and think she’s HILARIOUS! I have to find that magazine

Gruyere and dark chocolate. Fabulous!
Arlene — November 15, 2009 @ 5:22 am
Both the pizza and the salad look delicious.
I, too, have been a bad blogger. I took some pictures of my lunch and dinner today (slept through breakfast) but haven’t even taken them off the camera yet.
Nicole — November 15, 2009 @ 8:33 am
I love Ellen so so so so so much!! The halloween episode was THE BEST! I was laughing hysterically when she was showing the footage of her scaring everyone and then having her interns come out in those silly costumes. It’s too good.
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is — November 15, 2009 @ 8:39 am
MMMmmm pizza looks yummy!
K — November 15, 2009 @ 9:27 am
Ellen is one of the best hosts on TV – she’s hilarious!! Love her! What a great pizza, it looks so cheesy!
Susan (All Things In Moderation) — November 15, 2009 @ 9:42 am
Cool ! Another Pizza idea ! I am new to cooking , and love anything that sounds simple enough that I can handle them without the stressing !
Lizzy — November 15, 2009 @ 10:34 am
I cannot wait to get my hands on the new O magazine. I am just as obsessed with Ellen as you are! she is so hilarious!!!!
Deva (Voracious Vorilee) — November 15, 2009 @ 10:40 am
I love Ellen – she’s such a great role model, staying true to herself, who she is, and what she believes in.
You have an awesome husband – I love gruyere cheese that’s been melted up!
diana(mymarblerye) — November 15, 2009 @ 10:43 am
ZOMG I love Ellen! I hope you saw this on Oprah, ellen and her wife were too precious!
Light Delight with TouTou — November 15, 2009 @ 11:00 am
Ellen is so much fun, I love to watching her show.
Gruyere cheese looks really yum on your pizza!
Elizabeth — November 15, 2009 @ 11:24 am
I’m slightly obsessed with Ellen too!! Oprah not so much… but I did watch when Ellen was on last week, did you see the footage from Ellen and Portia’s wedding, it made me cry, so beautiful.
Jenny — November 15, 2009 @ 11:27 am
Ooh what kind of bread to you use for that pizza – it looks so good!
Lindsay Perrone (goodiesgalore) — November 15, 2009 @ 11:27 am
So does Murphy sleep with you guys? Eleanor sleeps with us and although I love her, she is a living form of birth control. Not good for the relationship. Something’s gotta give but she’s such a snuggle muffin.
hemp jogger — November 15, 2009 @ 11:29 am
ok, i thought i was the only one who is seriously OBSESSED w/ ellen. you are soo right–hilarious, jovial, upbeat–she always cheers me up! and the show is the best. i cannot wait to read this mag either. was soooo funny when she was campaigning to get on the cover; i knew she’d nail it. ok enough, haha

Yum that chocolate sounds gooood
Paige@ RunningAroundNormal — November 15, 2009 @ 11:49 am
That pizza looks amazing!! Great job, Mal! I love Ellen, too – she has such a great personality.
Chelsea (Chelsea's Chew and Run Fun) — November 15, 2009 @ 11:55 am
I’m absolutely loving your entertainment and food choices for the day! “Slumdog Millionaire” was SO GOOD. I saw it in the theater with a friend of mine who actually lived in India for three months and he said the depiction of life there was fully accurate.
That pizza looks divine! Your plate looks so colorful and well-rounded, too.
Tina — November 15, 2009 @ 12:02 pm
@Lindsay Perrone (goodiesgalore): No, he hangs out in bed with us, but he sleeps in his crate.
FoodFitnessFreshair — November 15, 2009 @ 12:06 pm
The cookies sound great! I curious how they would taste if the whole wheat flour were to be used. And nice chocolate choice, def. one of my favorites!
Jess (What's Normal, Anyways?) — November 15, 2009 @ 2:08 pm
Gruyere IS amazing, I agree….just put it on anything…heck just eat the durn thing!
Those cookies look yummy, thanks for sharing the recipe. I’m really excited about Oprah and Ellen on the cover too…I actually got to see part of the Oprah show when the two of them were promoting (and goofing off) about the this issue being released.
Enjoy it and your weekend!

I love Ellen! We had her show on in the hospital when I was laboring with my second baby. Sadly, I’m never home to watch her show anymore, and I don’t have DVR.
Jay — November 15, 2009 @ 3:01 pm
Slumdog Millionaire is my FAVORITE movie! Glad you finally got a chance to see it!
Lauren @ eater not a runner — November 15, 2009 @ 4:59 pm
love love love Ellen
Cynthia (It All Changes) — November 15, 2009 @ 5:20 pm
Ellen and Oprah are AWESOME! I loved watching Oprah with ellen. I don’t have DVR so I often miss both shows but I love when I can catch them.
Sarah — November 15, 2009 @ 7:38 pm
I still haven’t seen Slumdog Millionaire I need to add it to my list! I love Ellen too, I think she is hilarious
Lex — November 15, 2009 @ 9:15 pm
Yum yum that pizza looks DELICIOUS!
Slumdog millionaire was such an awesome movie! Glad you enjoyed it!!
Rachel — November 18, 2009 @ 1:39 pm
I love, love, love Gruyere cheese. I actually just got back from a trip to Switzerland and I went to Gruyere and the cheese factory. We took a tour, saw how they made the cheese… it was awesome! And I think that it made the cheese taste even better afterwards
lauren (athlEAT) — November 19, 2009 @ 11:42 am
I LOVE Ellen too! she is hilarious and I plan to start watching American Idol again – just to see her!
