Blake Shelton on Thanksgiving and his holiday wishlist

from Katie & Company

Blake Shelton is our plus one this year at Thanksgiving with 'Katie & Company,' as Katie Neal talks with the singer about his "simple man" holiday wishlist, his latest projects like his show with Keith Urban, 'The Road,' and why Thanksgiving is his favorite holiday. "I grew up in a really big family with lots of cousins and aunts and uncles, so Thanksgiving was the one where, because for Christmas a lot of them would go off and do their own Christmases, Thanksgiving was the one holiday that there would be like 100 people there," recalls Blake. "We would all get together and I just, I love food, honestly. I just, I love food." Though he says it sounds "corny," Blake is most thankful for his family this year. "We're all just healthy, knock on wood, and it feels like everybody's in a good spot," Shelton shares. "I'm really thankful for that. The older I get, the more I realize, if you don't have your health you don't have anything, and so far so good for us right now." Blake is lucky to have Gwen Stefani at home, serving up some of the best dressing in Oklahoma, but in true form he also didn't skip a beat when asked who the "worst cook" was in Country music. "I would say Dustin Lynch," Shelton says. "I've spent a lot of time around Dustin. I had him out on tour with me, and he's actually came out to the ranch and hunted with a group of guys one time, and he really doesn't contribute, in any way. He's more, Dustin's a guy that even when he's hunting, he spent 45 minutes in front of the mirror that morning, getting his camo, making sure the patterns are right, that this green shirt isn't more faded than these green pants and he's just, that's Dustin. So I can't imagine him ever cooking. I've never seen him cook, so I'm just gonna go ahead and throw his name out there. Screw him when it comes to cooking." It's going to be a cold cuffing season for Dustin Lynch, but what do you expect when you're hunting buddies with Blake. A self-described simple man, Shelton also shared what was on his holiday wishlist this year. "I love corn. I love to plant corn. I love bags of corn. I love corn chips, corn tortillas, cream corn," says Shelton. "I love corn on the cob, and so just anything corn. People sometimes will throw like a little stuffed animal corn on the cobs on stage. I had a song on one of my records a few years ago called 'Corn,' and I'm obsessed with corn." Ok, so corn. Check. Anything else on the Blake Shelton shopping list? "You know, you can use corn to make vodka," he adds. "If someone out there wanted to buy me something, or I wanted to buy myself something, it would maybe be in the vodka category." "That's pretty much it, corn and vodka." To hear more from Blake Shelton on leaving 'The Voice,' hangover cures, and more check out the full 'Superstar Power Hour' interview above.
