Oprah Throws BFF Gayle King an 'Almost Weight Watchers Approved' Birthday Dinner

“Hi everybody. It’s Gayle’s birthday, so we’re having birthday dinner,” Winfey, 63, said in the clip, with King by her side. “It’s almost weight watchers approved.”

Among the food items Winfrey documented were glazed carrots, dover sole meunière (“Gayle’s favorite”), skillet potatoes, and butter lettuce salad with pears.

There was also truffle au gratin cauliflower — because, as King explained, “cauliflower is having a moment.”

One dish seemed to entice the two longtime pals more than the others: braised short ribs. “I love braised short ribs,” Winfrey gushed. “Melt in your mouth good,” added King.

None of that takes Winfrey away from her Weight Watchers routine, which she has been following for over two years now. In January, after 17 months with the company (of which she owns 10 percent) Winfrey revealed she had lost 42.5 lbs.

“This has been the easiest process that I’ve ever experienced. At no time during meals do I deprive myself,” Winfrey told PEOPLE in January.

Most importantly, she said her attitude towards eating has become healthier. “I finally made peace with food,” she said.
