The Band Perry is very conscious about eating healthy and working out, but when Thanksgiving comes around they admit there is one dish that does them in every year. Reid says, “Probably my favorite Thanksgiving dish, like I could probably just have this just for my Thanksgiving meal, is sweet potato casserole. But the kind, Kimberly actually makes a really good one, like really great.”

Kimberly offers the secret to her mouth-watering sweet potato casserole. “Here is the trick,” she shares. “You know how most sweet potato casseroles either have marshmallows or the sugar little nutty mix on top? Well, I put both of those on there, so we have marshmallows and the sugary nutty topping.”

Neil tries to live in denial for a moment, offering that there’s no butter in it, so it must be healthy, but Kimberly confesses, “Oh no, it’s like 1,000 calories per spoonful.”

The Band Perry will take time to enjoy the holidays with their family, but they’ll also likely be working on their next album, while their version of “Gentle on My Mind,” from the Glen Campbell … I’ll be Me EP soundtrack continues to climb the charts.
