HostKelly Clarksonasked on her show whether Stewart was “all turkeyed out,” to which the latter agreed, “I am turkeyed out.”
However, this doesn’t mean that the lifestyle guru won’t be getting some delicious meals in. She noted that she’ll be on the go this Thanksgiving, hopping from home to home to taste test food.
“I made a plan,” Stewart shared. “Friends, of course, invited me to their home, so I’m going to about five different homes to taste different courses.”
Just days after making her announcement to break with her normal tradition, the chef cleared the air on her Instagram, saying it’s “not true” she completely gave up Thanksgiving.
“What I canceled was the planned gathering at my house due to guest cancellations and new travel plans!” she clarified in the post.
Instead, Stewart shared that she was busy “prepping to bake thirty pies” and getting ready to cook a “stuffed and roasted 20-pound organic, heritage bird” to help with her friend Stephen Sill’s “buffet.”
As for her daughterAlexis Stewart, she said that Alexis and Alexis' two children —Jude, 12, andTruman, 11 — will be “flying off to California to visit as many of the giant redwoods and metasequoias as possible for three days.”
She wrote in the caption, “My Thanksgiving decorations were basically all about the bird! 112 at last count! glass, wood, gilded, golden, metal, composite , porcelain etc etc fun for kids to count. keeps each busy for at least twenty minutes!”
