8 Items Chrissy Teigen Wants You To Buy At Target This Black Friday/Cyber Monday

The first time I remember falling in love with Chrissy Teigen is when she normalized stretch marks (“stretchies say hi”) and I’ve been smitten with her ever since. Her fun and witty personality, combined with her beautiful husband, beautiful home, and beautiful life, make her my favorite follow on Instagram. The only thing I might love more than Chrissy (besides queso and spicy margs) is Target – or how I imagine Chrissy pronounces it, Tarjay. So my worlds collided this past fall when she launched her Cravings by Chrissy Teigen line of kitchen and tabletop items available exclusively at Target, and I am Here. For. This.

10 Aioli Recipes for Your Day-After-Thanksgiving Turkey Sandwich

Thanksgiving is almost here, which means the day after Thanksgiving is almost here, which means you’re that much closer to the very best part of the whole holiday: leftover turkey sandwiches! Thoughts of Thanksgiving dinner might make your mouth water, but even more delectable is that tried-and-true combo of turkey and sliced bread with a little (or if it’s me, a whole lot of) mayonnaise.

I’m already a huge fan of mayo, but did you know you can make that sandwich even more flavorful by swapping in mayo’s fancy cousin, aioli? At restaurants these days, it seems like you can’t throw a frite without hitting a little metal container of aioli, and so I’ve had my fair share. But, I didn’t know until recently that the difference between mayo and aioli is that aioli, while essentially a garlicky mayo, has Mediterranean roots and is officially made with both garlic and olive oil. Bring it to the table in this cute Jacques Pépin Collection Double-Handle Rooster Bowl.

Basic Aioli

Chowhound

If you’re unfamiliar with aioli, you should get started with our Basic Aioli recipe. And if you are saving your first encounter with aioli for the day-after Thanksgiving turkey sandwich, well then I truly envy you: I should’ve waited for such a special occasion!

Super Easy Garlic Aioli

Cooking With Curls

For a shortcut in aioli creation, try this recipe that uses store-bought mayonnaise—except if you want to appease your persnickety friends, make sure you use mayonnaise made from olive oil. Or, just don’t tell them, and then if they question you further, act like you didn’t hear them. Your secret is safe with me!

Roasted Garlic Aioli

Chowhound

If you’re looking for a deeper, roast-ier garlic flavor, try our Roasted Garlic Aioli recipe. You will be putting in extra oven time to roast your garlic to perfection, but if you love garlic like I do, it will be worth it to experience the joy of an utterly garlicky sandwich dressing.

Sweet Paprika Aioli

Sweet paprika is a simple addition to the basic components of aioli. With our Sweet Paprika Aioli recipe, you are remedying the only problem I can see with the Thanksgiving-turkey-and-aioli sandwich: lack of color. Dress that sammy with a pop of orangey-pink, and if you are interested in smokier flavors, try substituting smoked paprika instead of sweet.

Fall Herb Aioli

Chowhound

In our Fall Herb Aioli recipe, sage and thyme add an autumnal element, perfect for tying together your Thanksgiving leftovers. This is the aioli that begs turkey to bring its buddies, cranberry sauce and slice-of-sweet-potato, to join the party between two pieces of bread.

The Best Vegan Aioli

Lauren Caris Cooks

If your Thanksgiving turkey was actually a Thanksgiving Tofurky, then you’ll not be wanting mayo or egg ingredients on your day-after sandwich. This is where marvelous aquafaba comes to the rescue! Instead of egg, this recipe uses chickpea water for its egg-like properties to give you a completely vegan version of aioli.

Lemon-Dill Aioli Sauce

Savor the Best

Usually the go-to flavors for accompanying fish, lemon and dill add tangy brightness to your sandwich dressing in this recipe. Unlike the other recipes, this one calls for avocado oil, and so, yes, it is missing the olive oil requirement of true aiolis. Should you find yourself amongst aioli dogmatists while you are eating or serving this recipe, I suggest quietly coughing the word “aioli” when describing the “lemon-dill aioli sauce” and emphasizing the word “sauce.” That oughta do it.

Chipotle Aioli

Self-Proclaimed Foodie

For a little spice on your sandwich, try this recipe which uses chipotle in adobo sauce. While the lack of olive oil prevents this from being a bonafide aioli, the use of mild-tasting vegetable oil actually helps highlight the smoky chipotle flavor.

Calabrian Chile Aioli

Chowhound

If you try our Calabrian Chile Aioli recipe, you may want to swap olive oil in for the canola oil—this way you can lean into the chiles’ Italian roots and keep this aioli true to its Mediterranean heritage. These peppers will give your sandwich a slightly fruitier spice.

Chimichurri Aioli

The Faux Martha

For the final recipe in this aioli round-up, we’re back to the store-bought mayonnaise shortcut; though, as mentioned before, you can purchase a fancier version made from olive oil. This recipe, born of the serendipitous action of combining chimichurri and mayo, will add tanginess and a little spice to your turkey sandwich. And if you’re genetically wired to dislike cilantro, then the other aforementioned aiolis will have to be your guiding light for taking the post-Thanksgiving turkey sandwich to the next level…even if you should arrive at that level very full from the day before and completely out of breath.

12 Trader Joe’s Desserts That Deserve a Spot on Your Thanksgiving Dinner Table

We’re counting down the days until the big event, so make that trip to the grocery store, organize your décor just so, and of course, find those stretchy pants—Thanksgiving is upon us.

Though typically we eat ourselves into oblivion with extra scoops of stuffing, a heaping pile of potatoes, and second rounds—okay, third rounds—of turkey, we have to make room for dessert, too. Sweets are equally as satisfying and deserve some of the spotlight during the holiday. Luckily for hungry dinner goers everywhere, Trader Joe’s, the mecca of organic foods, just so happens to take its dessert game to the next level.

In celebration of this time of year, the grocery store has rolled out must-have products for your table—especially when dessert is concerned. So don’t overdo it with the first course because you’re going to want to have a little room in your belly. Have a look at the 12 Trader Joe’s desserts that need to make an appearance at your family get-together this year. Trust us, your relatives will thank you.

Sweet Potato and Marshmallow Pixie Pie Mix

Trader Joe’s

The sweet potato-marshmallow combination makes for a heavenly side dish, but when your favorite Thanksgiving food gets the dessert treatment, it’s out of this world. What’s even better is the fact that this will only take about a half an hour to make, so you’ll thankfully have stress-free prep. The 17-ounce boxes are a must for the holidays and won’t stick around for the whole year, so if you stock up during your next TJ outing, we certainly won’t judge (in fact, we’ll probably do the same).

A great way to display all your Thanksgiving treats

Pistachio Cranberry Bites

Trader Joe’s

Every so often on Thanksgiving you’re pained with the question of, “Should I eat more, or should I cool it?” For those in-between moments, snack on these Pistachio Cranberry Bites. They’re the perfect middle ground when you’re feeling overwhelmed from your meal but don’t want to forgo dessert, either.

Chocolate Pecan Pie Bar

Trader Joe’s

This rectangular-shaped delight comes in a box that reads “Rich chocolate and pecans in a buttery, tart shell.” Do you need any more convincing after that? Even classic desserts are better with a little chocolate. This fantastic find comes in a 15-ounce box.

Gingerbread Turkey Kit

Trader Joe’s

Since Thanksgiving is the gateway to the holiday season, you might as well get the best of both worlds with a Gingerbread Turkey Kit. The turkey cookie comes equipped with icing and gummies so you can decorate your bird however you’d like. This is a must for tiny tots—a snack and an activity all in one.

Pumpkin Cheesecake

Trader Joe’s

Obviously your Thanksgiving table calls for a little taste of pumpkin. This frozen cheesecake—which serves eight to 10 guests—catapults pumpkin desserts into a new category. The chocolate hot fudge drizzle and sweet and spicy pecans atop of the dessert are excellent finishing touches.

Apple Cranberry Tart

Trader Joe’s

Sometimes people might forget that apples were the original fall favorite fruit—the pumpkin just decided to steal the show. These tarts, which are available in a box of two, will make you fall in love with apples (and cranberries) all over again. A dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (obviously both) is highly encouraged.

Pumpkin and Roasted Pepitas Cookies

Trader Joe’s

A five-ounce bag of these babies is kind of like a cross between a pumpkin potato chip and a pumpkin cookie—thin, crunchy, and packed with a taste of autumn. Again, we won’t judge if you decide to buy in bulk.

Pumpkin Ginger Mini Ice Cream Cones

Trader Joe’s

An autumn treat if ever there was one, these gingerbread cones come complete with pumpkin ice cream that’ll send you into a cinnamon and nutmeg coma. The sweet confectionary coating is the icing on the cone. One box includes eight treats.

Organic Cranberry Spiced Apple Kombucha

Trader Joe’s

Add some spice to your beverages with a 16-ounce bottle of this cranberry-apple deliciousness. Might we suggest pairing it with one of those tarts? It’ll be clear what dessert is the apple of your eye.

Apple Cranberry Herbal Tea Blend

Trader Joe’s

Rather than finish up the day with the typical black tea or regular coffee, add an autumn fix to your bev with Apple Cranberry Tea combo. There will be plenty to go around, as there are 20 teabags per box.  

Eggnog Holiday Liqueur

Trader Joe’s

It’s never too early in the holiday season for a sip of eggnog. This creamy spiced rum, brandy, and cinnamon concoction is the after-dinner pick-me-up you need. If you’re feeling extra creative after your meal, this is the perfect ingredient for a fall milkshake. If you’re looking to go a simpler route, just pour some of this bad boy over your ice cream.

Organic Cold Brew Mocha Nut Latte

Trader Joe’s

You’ll go nuts over this black coffee alternative. This fun and seasonal drink is available in 12-ounce bottles.

Creative Ways to Turn Thanksgiving Leftovers into Delicious Drinks

It’s hard to argue Thanksgiving as anything but a food-lover’s gravy-fueled dreamscape. One day to drop everything, chill out, and show off some of your very best eating, and of course, overeating skills. There are almost no other requirements on that most wonderful of third Thursdays in November (unless you offered to cook—get hacks here), and for that we’re, well…thankful.

As important as eating is on Thanksgiving, we’ve become perhaps just as passionate about creative post-Thanksgiving leftover management, and there is no shortage of ideas swirling around the recipe universe. From Turkey Enchilada and Quinoa Soup to Stuffing Baked Eggs, the savory stuff has been well-covered, but what to do with some of Thanksgiving’s sweeter, supporting characters?

When you just can’t down another slice of pecan pie or find a use for that jiggling bowl of cranberry sauce, drink ’em!

We’re breaking out the good glassware, high-octane blender, and swirly straws to showcase recipe ideas that turn your post-Thanksgiving Groundhog Day-style slog into a sippable celebration.

Leftover Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry sauce is the cherry on top of any successful thanksgiving spread. The tangy topper is easy to make but has a bold, concentrated flavor so it seems there’s always more than we actually need. Cue cocktails! This New England native is a tried and true companion to boozy beverages of all types.

Cranberry Sauce Cocktail

This simple cranberry and bourbon cocktail can be easily scaled up to batch, and calls for just three other central ingredients.

Mulled Cranberry Cocktail

Kitchen Treaty

Stay in full holiday mode with this mulled cocktail which gathers warmth and depth from spices like cinnamon and cloves. Get the recipe.

Cranberry Ice

Genius Kitchen

Freeze your excess cranberry sauce in ice trays, or in the nifty manner below, for dropping into vodka or gin, or to serve as a fun dessert later. Get the recipe.

Leftover Pie

Don’t get us wrong, we LOVE pie. In fact, it’s nearly perfect a food. But even it can lose a bit of luster after a slice too many. Since it’s tough to freeze once it’s been baked, lean on smoothies and milkshakes to keep you from turning a-pie-thetic.

You never make enough smoothies

Bourbon Pecan Pie Milkshake

Floating Kitchen

The concept of “too much Pecan Pie” is somewhat difficult to imagine but if you come to this crossroads, this Pecan Pie Milkshake will spin new life into the Thanksgiving staple. Get the recipe.

Pumpkin Pie Protein Smoothie

Sally’s Baking Addiction

This healthy breakfast smoothie is best suited for an excess of pumpkin puree, but feel free to substitute sweetened pie filling (and hold the maple syrup) for a more decadent version. Get the recipe.

Leftover Apple Pie Milkshake

Alton Brown

Apple pie and ice cream go together like Aunt Janet and one-too-many glasses of wine, so a milkshake is the natural choice to blend into a fresh take. Alton Brown employs his famous minimalist style for this shake-up and suggests an optional ounce of Apple Jack whiskey for adults. Get the recipe.

Leftover Chocolate

Fancy Ass Hot Chocolate

A Cozy Kitchen

If you’re a serial host or hostess, giftboxes of chocolate can start to pile up. And because chocolate can’t keep forever, consider spoiling yourself and/or guests with this Fancy Ass Hot Chocolate, gussied up with cinnamon and ancho chili. Get the recipe.

Leftover (or Bad) Wine

Admittedly, this one is already a beverage, but likely one you’re not particularly interesting in consuming. Sure, you could re-gift, but is passing the buck on a bargain bin Riesling really in keeping with the spirit of the season? Fear not! Sangria is the great equalizer, and these are two of our very favorite recipes: One red. One white.

White Strawberry Lemon Sangria

Red Blackberry Sangria
