We can all agree: No Thanksgiving meal is complete without stuffing. Although we love the down-home-style sausage-and-bread version our grandma’s been cookin’ up for decades, we’re looking to switch things up this year. Think chorizo cornbread stuffing, pancetta and sage stuffin’ muffins and chestnut-leek stuffing. We’re drooling just thinking about these non-traditional options. Don’t worry, we’ve included some classics, too.

1. Challah-Apple Stuffing: Make sure you cut that challah generously and use Granny Smith apples for some acidity. This is about to be everything, promise. (via Buzzfeed)

2. Quinoa, Apple and Sweet Potato Stuffing: Quinoa, sweet potato, apples and hazelnuts are the main components of this unforgettable stuffing recipe. Wait a minute… is that a little maple syrup we’re tasting, too? (via Family Fresh Cooking)

3. Classic Sage Dressing: Holy wow. This gorgeous serving of stuffing is made with rustic white bread and tons of fresh chopped sage. (via The Kitchn)

4. Thanksgiving Stuffing Poppers (Gluten-Free, Vegan): Yeah, we went there. Your guests will gobble these chickpea stuffing poppers and cranberry-jalapeño dipping sauce right up. (via Beard + Bonnet)

9. Pancetta and Sage Stuffing Muffins: Yes, it’s true. Pancetta and sage are going steady in these oh-so-tasty stuffing muffins. (via A Cozy Kitchen)

12. Butternut Squash and Brussels Sprouts Stuffing: If you hate Brussels sprouts now, you won’t after trying this fabulous butternut squash– and apple-stuffed recipe. (via Food52)

13. Great-Grandma’s Famous Stuffing: What’s so famous about this stuffing, you ask? We’ll give you a hint, it starts with a b and ends with tter. (via The Baker Chick)

14. Slow Cooker Sausage and Apple Stuffing: Cover and cook this sweet-savory stuffing for two to three hours. It’s definitely worth the wait. (via Sweet Treats + More)

15. Cranberry and Sage Stuffing Muffins: More muffins! But this time, we’re bringing you a vegetarian option made with veggie stock and cranberries. (via Cooking Stoned)

16. Chestnut, Leek and Apple Stuffing: This bright and beautiful stuffing dish has roasted chestnuts in it. ‘Tis the season, right? (via The Parsley Thief)

20. Gluten-Free Quinoa Stuffing: Here’s another quinoa stuffing recipe to add to the list. This one’s made with coconut oil, pecans and Italian parsley. (via In Sonnet’s Kitchen)

21. Sausage, Fennel and Brioche Stuffing: We already used challah, so why not brioche? The more buttery the better. (via Bon Appétit)

22. Sourdough Sage Stuffin’ Muffin: And finally, the sourdough stuffin’ muffin, complete with sage, apples, rosemary and cranberries. Vegan has never tasted so good. (via Brit + Co)

8 "Unique" Celebrity Baby Names That Are Super...Interesting!

When it comes to naming their children, celebrities don't really follow trends — they create them. Hollywood's A-listers have a knack for choosing baby names that spark conversation, from whimsical and unconventional to more timeless and elegant picks.

These star-powered selections also have the ability to set the stage for the next big baby-naming trend. So, here are some of the most memorable and unique celebrity baby names that have captured the world's attention.

Scroll to see all the unique celebrity baby names we love...and loathe.

1. Paloma

Campbell "Pookie" Puckett and her husband, Jett Puckett, have taken the social media world by storm with their seemingly picture-perfect romance and lavish lifestyle.

In November 2024, the influencer couple welcomed their daughter, Paloma, into the world after creating a lot of anticipatory hype surrounding their name choice.

Paloma has Spanish and Italian roots and is derived from Latin. It means "dove," in addition to "pigeon" and "butterfly." Those familiar with Greek mythology may recognize doves as symbols of Aphrodite, the goddess of love.

2. Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett

Jason Kelce, who spent 13 years playing for the Philadelphia Eagles, and his wife, Kylie Kelce, faced some backlash for the gender-neutral names they chose for their three daughters.

However, gender-neutral monikers are more popular than ever before. And now that the couple has a fourth daughter on the way, they reportedly plan to continue the name trend in their family.

3. Riot

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky made waves in 2023 when they named their second child Riot. The bold, unconventional pick fits right in with the couple's trend of sticking to "R" names, as Rihanna's full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, and A$AP Rocky's is Rakim Athelaston Mayers.

Beyond its personal significance, the name Riot carries a strong, rebellious energy. It definitely reflects both artists' fearless approach when it comes to both music and fashion.

4. Winnie

When Jimmy Fallon and his wife, Nancy Juvonen, had their first daughter in 2013, they chose a somewhat unique name with a lot of personal meaning: Winnie. Welsh in origin, it means "gentle friend" or "friend of peace."

Specifically for the couple, though, it's a tribute to Lake Winnipesaukee, the picturesque New Hampshire lake where they got engaged. Plus, Jimmy added the name made even more sense since they viewed Winnie as a "win" in their life.

5. Grace Warrior

Everyone remembers Steve Irwin as the fearless "Crocodile Hunter" who tragically died in late 2006. More recently, his daughter, Bindi Irwin, welcomed a little girl of her own into the world in 2021 and named her Grace Warrior.

While Grace may be a more common name, meaning "favor" or "blessing," Warrior was a more unusual choice with a sentimental intent.

"Her middle names, Warrior Irwin, are a tribute to my dad and his legacy as the most incredible Wildlife Warrior," Bindi shared on Instagram.

6. River Rose and Remington

Kelly Clarkson and her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, chose two distinctive names for their girl and boy: River Rose, born in 2014, and Remington Alexander, born in 2016.

With British roots and a whimsical feel, River is a gender-neutral pick that means "a flowing body of water." It was traditionally used more frequently for boys, but Kelly changed that trend.

Meanwhile, Remington is also British in origin and started as a surname, translating to "settlement by the boundary stream." Perhaps Kelly chose this sibling combination because both River and Remington begin with "R" and have connections to water.

7. Elsie Otter

When Zooey Deschanel and her then-husband Jacob Pechenik had their daughter in 2015, they chose a name that was both classic and quirky: Elsie Otter.

While Elsie is a timeless choice of Hebrew origin, which means "pledged to God," the addition of Otter gives it a more playful twist. During an appearance on TODAY, Zooey explained their reasoning behind it.

"We just really liked the name Elsie, and then we both love otters because they're so sweet and also smart," she detailed.

"They use tools, they keep their favorite tools, they hold hands while they sleep; there are so many amazing things about otters. They're wonderful animals."

8. Luai

Finally, in 2023, Lindsay Lohan and her husband, Bader Shammas, named their Dubai-born son Luai. It's Arabic in origin and means "protector" or "shield," but it remains a rare pick in the U.S.

Luay, a more common variation of this name, was only given to eight boys born in the U.S. in 2022.

Meghan Markle Makes Subtle Dig At Drew Barrymore's "Clingy" Behavior With A Six-Word Remark

Drew Barrymore is undoubtedly an acting force to be reckoned with. Viewers everywhere first fell in love with her when she played Gertie in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial in 1982. Then, she went on to star in many other major productions, such as The Wedding Singer, Scream, He's Just Not That Into You, and 50 First Dates.

Nowadays, the 50-year-old is still showcasing her on-screen talents, just in a different way. Back in September 2020, she launched a daytime talk show known as The Drew Barrymore Show.

Over the last four years, she's featured a wide range of guests, from Matthew McConaughey and Vanna White to Paris Hilton, Millie Bobby Brown, and Reese Witherspoon. Drew has also become known for having a more touchy-feeling rapport with her guests, which some people have called "clingy."

This seemingly led Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, to make a dig at Drew's behavior during her appearance on the March 6 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show.

Scroll to find out what Meghan Markle said about Drew Barrymore...

Meghan's new show, With Love, Meghan, came out on Netflix the day before. So, she planned to sit down with Drew to discuss her latest project, as well as other topics, including her courtship with Prince Harry and parenthood.

However, some viewers were shocked by an offhand quip that Meghan made during the interview, telling Drew, "I hear you like to connect." She proceeded to soften the blow by taking Drew's hand and claiming her touchy behavior was "so sweet, though."

Again, Drew has a reputation for hugging, touching, and sitting quite close to her guests. Yet Meghan, who has also been called warm and is known to go in for hugs, seemed more reserved and regal.

Despite Meghan's remark and the differences in body language, the pair still delved into some interesting conversation topics. For instance, the Duchess of Sussex detailed how, when she first began dating Prince Harry back in 2016, he made her a vow based on some old advice she'd received.

While Meghan was a college student, she'd worked as a nanny for two different families, and one of the fathers told her, "When you meet your person one day, I want him to say to you the same thing that I said to my wife when we got married, which is, I vowed to always date my wife."

Well, amidst her blossoming romance with Harry, she asked the Prince to make her that same promise. He responded, "I vow to always date you."

According to Meghan, she credits their strong connection to their commitment to treating each other the same way they did prior to tying the knot. In her eyes, holding onto the "good and joy" from the "butterfly period" of courting is what keeps relationships alive.
