Dr Oz: Oprah Asparagus Pasta With Morels & Mint Pesto Recipe

Dr Oz: Oprah Asparagus Pasta With Morels & Mint Pesto

Oprah explained to Dr Oz during their hour-long conversation, that she can relate to anyone who turns to food instead of facing their emotions. Over the years, Oprah has learned how to deal with that feeling of anxiety that she used to tackle with food. Now, she’ll let herself feel that feeling and try to understand why she’s getting the cravings she has. She never gave up because she continued to believe, knowing she could get to the point she’s at now.

Oprah can now say she is happier, healthier, and content, which allows her to be so full of the joy to be alive. Well stated, Oprah! She was then thrilled to share one of her favorite recipes that is Weight Watchers friendly, but a great, healthy dish even if you’re not following their food plan.
