Jessica Simpsonknows how to have her cake—or turkey—and give it, too.
Joining forces withGreen Giant, Simpson, 38, hosted a Friendsgiving (which she documentedon her Instagramon Tuesday) forNo Kid Hungry, a non-profit seeking to end child hunger in America.
“I was raised in a family of service,” Simpson, who ispregnant with her third child, tells PEOPLE exclusively. ”I am blessed in my life to be able to give back in many ways, and I love teaching my kids that having a giving spirit is the most rewarding way to celebrate.”
Martha Stewartjoined in to provide classic Thanksgiving recipes, like pumpkin pie with toasted meringue (which gets a little too toasty, thanks to Simpson’s heavy hand with a blow torch.)
Simpson also says she has some hidden recipes up her sleeve. “Chicken and dumplings is my signature dish,” she says. “My recipe is very simple but you would never know it. My friends are always begging me to make it for them!”
Simpson continues, “Cornbread stuffing is always my favorite. And I go for the ham over the turkey. Honey-baked ham all the way.”
