Katie Holmes Reveals The
Secret To Her Perfect Thanksgiving
Access
Hollywood
11/11/11
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Katie
Holmes admitted she isn’t very good when it comes to preparing a Thanksgiving
turkey, but she makes up for it with decor.
“We’re going to be in
Los Angeles and I’m not a big cook so I usually go to the flower mart in
downtown Los Angeles and I make up for my lack of cooking with a good
presentation,” Katie told Martha Stewart as she filmed an appearance for
Tuesday’s “The Martha Stewart Show.”
The actress, wife to Tom
Cruise and mom to Suri Cruise, said she does have a meal ready too, but she’s
not usually behind the preparation.
“I make sure the fixings are
there I just don’t tell how they got there,” Katie explained.
There
is one thing, however, Katie does make – pumpkin bars.
“My mom
started a tradition where she makes these amazing pumpkin bars — almost like a
pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting, but it’s not too spicy. In my family we
travel so much and we’re constantly living in hotels, so my daughter and I have
been in the living room of the hotel with powdered sugar going everywhere making
this to keep up the tradition,” the “Jack and Jill” actress said. “They’re
really gooey and moist.”
“Does Tom like them?” Martha
asked.
“Yes, I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t like the recipe,”
Katie responded.
“The
Martha Stewart Show” airs on the Hallmark Channel at 10 AM
ET/PT.
