Oprah Winfrey is going to release her very own cookbook next year!

E! News can confirm the face of Weight Watchers will release the book on Jan. 3, 2017. The purpose of the book is to teach her fans how to cook healthy, yummy foods that they'll actually enjoy, taking from her own experience with her diet program. 

"In the past several months on Weight Watchers, I have worked with wonderful chefs to make healthier versions of my favorite meals," Oprah said in a statement. "When people come to my house for lunch or dinner, the number one thing they ask is, 'How is this so delicious and still healthy?' So I decided to answer that question with recipes everyone can enjoy."

The TV mogul, who previously admitted to a secret food addiction, has lost 30 lbs. through the program, so we absolutely can't wait to see the recipes she's been making.

Speaking of those recipes, we have a couple foods we hope to see within the book's pages...

Alcoholic Beverages: Oprah is never one to turn down a celebration and has often listed wine, Moscow Mules and martinis as her favorite beverages. We want to know how she's making healthier drink options for those special times that call for a toast.

Pastas: The former talk show host has previously named mac 'n cheese as well as several hearty pastas on her list of favorite foods. Is she using a different ingredient to satiate her cravings for the always contraband carbohydrates? Perhaps she's become a zoodle fiend!

Pancakes & French Toast: We've seen Oprah make a mean pancake and an awesome french toast, but has she officially given up sugar-filled breakfasts? We're hoping she has a alternate, healthy recipe to share for the Sunday mornings that call for something delicious.

Fried Foods: She's mentioned how she has a a difficult time saying no to fried chicken or fried fish, but that's definitely not on the Weight Watchers plan. If she's come up with another option to help with that craving, we have to know it!

Fresh Ingredients: Oprah has posted quite a few photos of herself picking fruits and vegetables out of her own gardens. From purple potatoes to bell peppers to collard greens and carrots, we hope she'll share her freshest recipes with us, too!

Salads: The business mogul has shared photos of her 1-point salads on Instagram before. We want to know how she's creating them and what she's using to make them feel a bit heartier that just your average mix of greens.

Desserts: For anyone with a sweet tooth out there, we know how hard it is to stay away from the sugar at the end of a long day (guilty!). Oprah has listed sweets like key lime pie and truffle chocolate as her favorite desserts, so we're hoping she has some ideas for healthier options to help those of us with sugar cravings.
