I have a great recipe for you that is sooo easy!!! It uses Oreos (which are stuffed). This is a kid friendly recipe as well.....kids love to get their hands messy!

When you are done eating these YOU will be STUFFED!!!

Okay here it goes:

Ingredients:
1 package of 8 oz. cream cheese
1 package of Oreo cookies
1 package of white chocolate chips

1. Let the cream cheese soften by leaving it on
the counter for about 30 min.
2. Crush entire package of oreo cookies (in a
blender...but crush 1/4 of the package at a
time).
3. After the oreos are fine crumbs, mix with
the cream cheese in a bowl.
4. Roll mixture into 1/2 inch balls.
5. After the balls are rolled place them on a
cookie sheet and place in refrigerator.
6. Melt white chocolate chips.
7. Take cookie balls out of the refrigerator
and dip them in the melted chocolate and
place them back on the cookie sheet.
8. After all have been dipped, put the cookie
sheet back into the refrigerator for about
10 min.
9. After 10 min is up, place the cookie balls
into a sealed container and store them in
the refrigerator until you want to eat
them.
10. The are to die for! Enjoy!

What an exquisite lunch... The red plastic cup really tops off its beauty. Sometimes I drink out of a red plastic cup too. Something else that we all have are those plastic patio chairs (usually green).

I agree with you--stuffed things are cool and great! Stuffed animals are great too. Except not for eating. However, stuffed animals are good for cuddling. Stuffed food is not good for cuddling though, unless you are having a food fight...or you really, really love your food and want to show your affection for it.

I love reading your comments, "Stuffing my lunch" made my evening, and I have to tell you it was a very hard day today
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Have a great evening and see you tomorrow

Hi Ellen and All Ellen Fans,

I am not a big tuna person (unless it is fresh tuna) but this looks really great! I would really like to try it. Ellen how about putting the recipes for your lunch up here too? Ingredients, spices - everything we would need to try what you had. Cause this one looks - TOTALLY YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMY!

Last week I asked Ellen's fans to come together to write to Ellen on behalf of a boy named Kyle Hickok. He has been ill his whole life. In and out of hospitals. His Birthday is coming up on March 25th, he will be 12. He is the fourth great nephew of Wild Bill Hickok.

The Make A Wish Foundation was going to grant him a wish. One of his first wishes was to have dinner with Emeril Lagasse and Rod Stewart. Because he is such a sweet kid when the time came to make his wish he didn't wish for that. He wished for a vacation for his family, so they could all be together. A vacation that to date they have been unable to take because of him being in the ICU in the hospital.

I want to take a moment now to thank everyone who sent a shout out to Ellen and also to everyone who took it one step further and went to Kyle's CaringBridge website and left a message for him and his family.

I also want to ask that you please continue to leave comments on behalf of Kyle. His story touched me very deeply. I do not know Kyle or his family, reaching out to all of you just seemed like the right thing to do. I have also gone to Emeril's website to try to reach out to him - course I don't have Ellen's star power - but you never know till you try - and - I just had to try.

If you would like to know more about Kyle please check out the following websites:

Wow! And all I had was a PB&J.

wow, knew people all over are bummed and after reading some of these comments it only made me really realize how much joy, laughter and freedom Ellen brings into our lives ... I thought I was the only one that felt that way when I watched her!! LOL .. well, guess no real chance for me to meet the Great One .. don't have a bad, sad story, I've been blessed, but I know a blessing when I see one, and that is Ellen. Thank you, Ellen, for giving so many an escape that is unique, fantastic, surreal (yet so real) precious. (if it matters, I've been cancer free for 2 yrs .. still in the "iffy" zone, have a wonderful Mom & Dad, my dog Buddy, 3 brothers ... just existing .. doing the deal ... but YOU bring the greatness in blah ... you are THE BEST since JOHNNY CARSON ... no freain' doubt ... you go, girl ....

Hello Ellen, I applied for four tickets to come to your show tomarrow March 19, and I have not received a call as yet, please call me so that I plus my three friends can come to your show, this is the second time that I have attempted. Please Ellen I could use a little happiness right now.

Wow ellen,
your lunch is fabulous, i wish I could have a lunch like that.

Hey Ellen ...
Can you have me over for lunch someday?! You would make my day :)

Catherine

Hey Ellen,

Looks fabulous as always. How about throwing some asparagus or avocado or broccolini in there somewhere? You know what's really good in a veggie salad? Strawberries. Cut them up and give them a dash of black pepper before they go in the salad. It's fabulous. I like to toss in some grapes on occasion too.

Enjoy!

Keep 'em coming!

WAUW SALAD is this really the only vegetable that you like Ellen Lady?? don,t metter eat what you like we had Chinese food for diner this evening my girlfriend is working again but I like to cook so I though before she go to work we have a nice diner and for dessert I make rice pudding with chocolate mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmjammie

The other night I asked my husband to get me a small bowl of ice cream---the plate he brought was ridiculous---2 big pieces of pink cake( left from a baby shower) surrounded by about 4 scoops of oreo ice cream and topped with about 10 marshmallows---I took a picture of it---

Dear Ellen, I hope I'm not taking up too much your time. I just wanted to write and let you know how much i love your show. My days are filled with taking care of four very energtic young children. I have three boys and a girl. My girl and I love to dance with you. In fact that is the only thing I wait for in my day is too see you on t.v.. I hope to one come and see you. But that will be a long time from now.I'm a single mom and I don't get out much. But I do watch your show. thank-you again for bringing such joy and laughter into my home. thank-you from gidget jonathan canada ,ontario

dear ellen; I watch your show everyday. I enjoy it so much. My daughter and I like to dance with you and your audience.I wish I could get to meet you someday. I live in Hamilton Ontario,not the best city in the world. If it isn't to much to ask could I get a picture of you for my daughter and me. We would trulylove it. Thank-you ellen for making my hectic days go by with laugh and a dance. I'm a mother of four beautiful angels.I hope I didn't take up to much of your time I know how busy you are.

ELLEN!!!

My cousin used to sit and put olives on all his fingers!!! and then bite 'em off... not his fingers!! LOL... silly(Smile)... the olives. That is a really great way ... fun way to eat olives. At the kids table that is!!!!... ok. I say even at the adults table. I remember graduating to the big table... what a relief!!! However, it was all adult conversation and I remember not knowing what to talk about and it made me miss the little ones cause you could talk about anything and you were a hit!!! ... the king of conversation! At the adult table was boring conversation... but a little sparked my interest then they'd go back to boring.. I mean I thought I would have something to contribute/add to the conversation... but by the time I could contribute the adults moved on... but I soon learned.. you have to be fast if you want to make a point!!!

Love your points Ellen!!!

Your lunch looks amazing. I think I like black olives more than green!

Looks great, here comes something delicious:

3 pounds of apples
250 gramm dates
1 lemon
3 cinnamon-sticks
2 big spoons cocao
a little cadamon
250 gramm creme
powder of vanilla
maltsirup
- everything organic -

Press the juice of the lemon upon the apples after you peeled them and cut them into halfs, which you 1/4. Than take away the stones of the dates. Stamp the cadamon in the mortar.
Boil 1/4 litre of water, put the apples together with the dates (without the stones inside) into the pot together with the cocao, the cinnamon-sticks and the cadamon. After cooking, take away the cinnamon-sticks.
If it is mashed, sieve it ( menas more mash, mash, mash)

Than hit the creme until it is ready together with the vanilla.
Put it on nice plates: left: apples, right creme, between maltsirup (like ying and yang)

Now sugar at all,

Dear Dottie Dearest, Ewe seem to be directly on target with your lunches, the tuna and olives both sound great. No bread or taters in sight...SMART! Where is the spoon for your tableware setting? Some things don't take well to a forkin'... maybe if you dive deep with it into the pudding enough will cling. Go ahead.. admit it, it was partially punny. Soon, Sphoon
