Connie Britton always avoids cooking Thanksgiving dinner

Actress Connie Britton prefers to let others toil over the stove at Thanksgiving while she kicks back and pigs out.
The Nashville star forfeited her spot as head chef when she lost interest in preparing turkey after successfully cooking the dish a few years back.
“I did cook a turkey one year, which I was proud of,” she told Us Weekly magazine. “It’s not that I decided to never do it again. Thankfully, other people had taken over the role. It’s better for everybody (that I not cook).”
The 50-year-old star will be spending the holiday with her relatives this year.
“I’m going to be with my family, and we’re going to eat a lot of turkey. It’s all about food,” she gushed. “Thanksgiving is all about food.”
However, Connie also plans to take a few moments out of the day to practise showing appreciation with her adopted son Eyob.
“It’s interesting as a parent, because respect is so important to me, and for him to understand the concept of respecting himself and respecting all other humans is important,” explained the Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Development Programme. “I’m constantly asking him the question, ‘How do you teach that?’ So, that’s a learning process for me, too, ’cause it is an interesting idea to know how you teach something that is so important but kind of intangible in a way.”
The star adopted little Eyob from Ethiopia in 2011.
