Chantal vlogs a home holiday meal with Peetz and her cats while cooking a traditional turkey dinner. She makes fresh cranberry sauce, a berry crisp, roasts carrots and potatoes, and pressure-cooks two boneless skinless turkey breasts in an Instant Pot. She plates a holiday dinner (turkey breast, cranberry mashed potatoes, gravy, rosemary carrots), tastes the food on-camera, chats about pet antics (Sam/Sammy and other cat), and offers seasonal well-wishes while briefly mentioning improving health and upcoming therapy.
