Nick said: "Mariah is cooking. She's a great cook - she's dope in the kitchen."

Lindsay Lohan joined her family in New York to share culinary duties with her mother Dina and younger sister Ali.

Dina revealed beforehand: "Lindsay is making the garlic mashed potatoes. They are amazing.

"Ali is doing the stuffing and I'm doing the turkey and making sure nothing burns.

"Then, when it's ready, we go around the table and say what we are thankful for. It's just a Thanksgiving tradition we have at our house that we grabbed onto.

"We are so blessed and it's important to share what we are thankful for, and not to take things for granted."
