Chrissy Teigen thrives on entertaining at home with her family.
And one of Teigens favorite culinary concoctions at holiday time?
The more rustic the better too.

With Chrissy Teigen
Which city pleasantly surprised you with the food scene?
[The food] is so incredibly flavorful.
We love a ton of spice, bitter, sweet, salty everything.

I found the food in Indonesia to be so thoughtful and flavorful.
And I can never turn down a plane meal, even if I’m totally full.
I love Pop Corners cheddar chips and Goldfish.

But beef jerky is probably my number one a good spicy piece of thick cut jerky is great.
Favorite meal to make after coming home from a long trip?
I love a really simple bowl of spaghetti with marinara sauce or a cacio e pepe.
Product you could’t travel without?
I also like to line my nostrils with it.
Even when I put on a great serum, I seal it in with a little Aquaphor.
I find that everything is better if I have my Aquaphor.
Best way to keep kids occupied on a plane?
An iPad for the older kids.
They are on their iPads or playing games and there’s no rules.
If everyone’s quiet, I’m happy.
The babies right now aren’t that into screens, thank God.
And I do my paint by numbers on an airplane, because I need to be occupied, too.
Celeb Check-in
Watching sports together is another cherished holiday activity in the Teigen-Legend household.
The flavor is just so beautiful, especially on a bed of arugula.
And Teigen cant wait to present her epicurean delicacy on Thanksgiving.It’s my most favorite day of the year.
We actually have a quarterly Thanksgiving, because I love it so much.
And no surprise, she goes all out with the side dishes.
Well have 15 sides, Im a side queen, she said.
Well have a really traditional green bean casserole with cream of mushroom condensed soup and crispy onions.
just bring it in, she said.
I used to put so much pressure on myself to be perfect, and to do everything perfectly.
We are getting 20 smoked turkey legs from Disneyland," she revealed.
“Anyone that’s had those before knows that they taste like ham, theyre crazy to me.
Turkey does not get better than that.
We’ll just lean up against the dumpster and pick at turkey legs when were at Disneyland.
Thats one of my favorite moments always, so, that’s my cheat for turkey this year.
While Teigen treasures holiday family gatherings, she also looks forward to slipping away.
We love to get out of town and be cold for the holidays, she said.
I just love that extra Christmas feeling.
Sometimes we go to New York and see The Rockettes.
This year we’re going to be in London and cooking up a storm.
I want to do a very traditional Sunday roast.
