Thanksgiving Meal Prep Kits From Blue Apron & HelloFresh Make Turkey Day 100x Easier
Now I just have to pick which one I want. …
For many of us, Thanksgiving will most likely look a lot different this year. Instead of hopping on a plane and traveling to a big family gathering, some will opt for something smaller and more low-key in the name of social distancing. If you aren’t doing the whole massive family feast, but still want a festive dinner, new Thanksgiving meal delivery kits from HelloFresh and Blue Apron are here to help make your holiday special—without costing you hours in the kitchen. Slaving over a turkey for three people just doesn’t make any sense, you know?
If you’re like me, you know it isn’t really Thanksgiving without stuffing, mashed potatoes and turkey—although personally, I’m down to skip the cranberry sauce. Don’t @ me. Still, I don’t plan on whipping up a full feast for no real reason and being left with tons of leftovers that will ultimately go to waste. Granted, I could just order Seamless on November 26, but that feels a little too depressing, even for this already-disappointing year.
Thankfully, HelloFresh and Blue Apron are both making it easy to cook a proper, scaled-down Thanksgiving dinner with zero leftovers gone to waste. Imagine that! Both companies are offering special Thanksgiving meal kits that can be sent straight to your door, and you can opt for a full turkey dinner or mix and match your favorite sides. (Spoiler alert, mine will not be coming with cranberry sauce!)
Don’t think of this as a cop-out: You’ll still get to prepare the meal and experience those classic Thanksgiving-at-home vibes, but both companies will supply you with exactly the right ingredients and amounts, plus easy-to-understand instructions that make piecing together even a big holiday meal a breeze. Skittish kitchen amateurs, fear not! Even someone who is bad at cooking (me) can nail it with the help of these kits.
Now, the hardest part—deciding which service to go with. To help you figure out whether Blue Apron or HelloFresh is right for you, I broke down what each offers in terms of Turkey Day below.

A HelloFresh Thanksgiving
HelloFresh’s most popular Thanksgiving option is a Turkey + Sides deal which can feed eight to 10 people. Or a smaller setup with leftovers, if that’s your situation! This includes roast turkey and classic gravy, creamy mashed potatoes, ciabatta stuffing, smoky maple Brussels sprouts, cranberry sauce and JAZZ apple ginger crisp for dessert. OK, yum.
If you’re having a smaller gathering of four to six people, you can opt for the Beef Tenderloin + Sides package instead, which features peppercorn-crusted beef tenderloin, creamy mashed potatoes, ciabatta stuffing, smoky maple Brussels sprouts, cranberry sauce and JAZZ apple ginger crisp for dessert.
These holiday meal kits are expected to fly, so order by November 19 to lock yours in.

A Blue Apron Thanksgiving
Sign up for Blue Apron and put a Southern spin on Thanksgiving with a menu from award-winning Chef Edouardo Jordan. It’s a less-traditional, still incredibly tasty Thanksgiving meal, complete with spiced roasted turkey with sage gravy and cranberry relish, cheddar mashed potatoes, cheesy cornbread pudding, ginger-honey glazed carrots, braised collard greens and maple-peanut apple and persimmon crumble. My mouth is watering as I type this.
Don’t fret if you aren’t a turkey fan. BlueApron offers another option that allows you to mix and match a premium pork roast with some of the aforementioned sides, including ginger-honey glazed carrots, braised collard greens and maple-peanut apple and persimmon crumble.
Both options serve eight people—or a smaller crew with the option to savor some leftovers. With BlueApron, you can even add on a Holiday Favorites wine bundle, because what’s a good meal without a little wine?

Bobbi Althoff Claps Back, Shuts Down Rumors of Sleeping with Interview Guests
Bobbi Althoff is currently one of the biggest names in the podcast and media space. Her rapid rise to fame has been a bit polarizing, with some people not appreciating how quickly she has ascended the ranks. Despite this, Althoff remains a heavily discussed figure on social media, especially for her interviews with rappers. However, her success has unfortunately come with a wave of misogynistic accusations.
A common criticism Althoff faces is the baseless claim that she “slept her way to the top,” particularly after her interview with Drake. Even Ryan Garcia perpetuated this erroneous rumor. Previously, Althoff had not addressed these trolls, but on Wednesday, she decided to put a hater in their place. According to TMZ, Althoff took to her Instagram to call out the false accusations.
In her Instagram story, Althoff made it clear that she does not sleep around and has never slept with any of her interview guests. She expressed frustration over the constant accusations whenever she posts about interviewing a man. Additionally, she addressed rumors about her personal life, stating that social media only shows what she allows it to. With this, Althoff aimed to silence the rumors once and for all.
What do you think of Bobbi Althoff’s response? Do you believe this will put an end to such comments, or will the ignorance persist? Share your thoughts in the comments below. For more updates on your favorite artists and their upcoming projects, stay tuned to Honk Magazine.

Lori Harvey Rocks Leopard Bikini and Cowgirl Hat, Ignites Social Media Frenzy
Lori Harvey may be keeping her dating endeavors under wraps these days, but fortunately for fans, the same doesn’t apply to her beach-ready bod. Recently, the 27-year-old model took to her Instagram Story to share a fun clip of herself vibing to Tyla with a couple of friends. She stunned in a tiny leopard print bikini, which she paired with a straw hat and some eye-catching gold jewelry.
Hollywood Unlocked shared the fun clip on Instagram earlier today, and as expected, their comments section is now flooded with fans sharing their takes. While most are simply thirsting over Harvey’s summery look and snatched figure, others can’t wait to hear more about her love life, particularly after her recent Parisian rendezvous with Luka Sabbat.
She and the Grownish actor were spotted enjoying lunch at a local hotspot last month, and of course, dating rumors were soon to follow. Harvey didn’t waste any time shutting them down, however, making it clear that the two of them are nothing more than friends. “Aht! Aht! Me and Luka have been friends for years, let’s not start this narrative,” she wrote at the time. It appears as though these days, she’s enjoying her time as a single gal, at least in the public eye. Fans can’t blame her for it either, though they are anxious as ever to see who she’ll pop out with following her split from Damson Idris.
Either way, she looks to be living her best life and making the most of her summer, and her supporters are certainly here for it. What do you think of Lori Harvey living her best life in a leopard print bikini? What about fans badgering her for more details about her love life? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on Honk Magazine for more updates.
