The singer and songwriter, whose menu is noticeably lacking the traditional star poultry, turkey, also noted that she will be \"delegating some of the cooking\" to her daughters.

\"Ava is making the French Silk Pie, Green Bean casserole goes to Emma, Delaney will help with whatever needs done as she is a great jump in and do what needs to be done gal,\" the mother of three wrote. \"And there will be other things they will help with too.\"

McBride also shared her fully written out timeline of prep work and cooking for the week through Thursday -- \"the big day\" -- with reminders to \"have coffee, have fun, have a glass of wine, pray, eat, and clean up.\"

McBride wrote in the caption about how she envisions Thanksgiving unfolding at home: \"a day in the kitchen with my girls, football on the TV, John and Cole in and out of the kitchen (we will be missing two of the boyfriends) and a relaxed fun day of memory making.\"

After the turkey-less feast is complete, McBride said she will hop on the tour bus and head to her first Joy of Christmas Tour show in Raleigh, North Carolina.
