A true Starlet has a lot to be thankful for, and she has a special place in her heart for tradition. So a Starlet Thanksgiving will be full of tradition with her own special twist of glamour.

Food

Hors d'oeuvres

If a Starlet serves a starter course (probably with cocktails) she will pick small bites with a little luxury. An ideal pick would be Truffled Deviled Eggs.

Main course

Turkey is the star of the show. Try carving and serving in a cute apron like Dita Von Teese

Gravy is another Thanksgiving staple, and Lana Turner’s favorite. Rumor has it she had a special recipe and was in charge of making it for her family Thanksgivings.

Stuffing- usually Thanksgiving stuffing recipes are passed down through generations. A Starlet loves family heirlooms... even ones from other people's families.... and even if the secret is StoveTop.

Veggies- make sure you eat your veggies. Pick your favorites and add a little seasoning. My favorite is broccoli, but you can also serve a salad for guests that want to load up on healthy stuff. Since a Starlet is a sucker for anything French, how about this Roasted Butternut Squash Salad with Warm Cider Vinaigrette

Potato- Sweet potato is healthier and has more nutrients, but if you’re a traditionalist, go for good old-fashioned mashed potatoes. If there is any day to not worry about nutrients it’s Thanksgiving. How about adding more luxury with Truffled Mashed Potatoes.

Pumpkin Pie- When you think Thanksgiving, you think pie. And pumpkin is the most traditional (and Lana Turner's favorite, she always indulged in a slice). For fun, try making one from scratch or try a Semi-Homemade one from Sandra Lee

Cocktails

Whatever you alcohol preference, there is a cocktail for you. Here are some to try:

Apple crisp

2 oz. Cointreau
1 oz. Fresh lime juice
3 oz. Fresh apple cider
Pinch of nutmeg
Apple slice, for garnish
Add ice to a Collins glass. Add the Cointreau, lime juice, apple cider and nutmeg, and stir gently. Garnish with the apple slice.

Mulled wine
