Michael Strahan: ‘People’ Shoot & Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe

Michael Strahan: ‘People’ Magazine Shoot

Recapo update: For more meal ideas, try our Thanksgiving Pinterest page.

Before we headed to the kitchen with Michael Strahan, we got a behind-the-scenes glimpse at his shoot for People Magazine. Channing Tatum may be the Sexiest Man Alive, but Michael was a close second in his Magic Mike themed shoot. Michael tried out a few different looks, including a sexy construction worker. As he warmed up on stage, the clothes began to come off; at the end, it was just Michael, his construction boots, and of course, his signature gap!

For more sexy men and Michael Strahan, pick up the Sexiest Man Alive issue of People. 

Michael Strahan’s Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe

With Kelly as his sous chef, Michael showed the audience how to make his sugary and delicious Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallows. It’s pretty decadent, but hey, it’s the holidays! Earlier on Live’s Thanksgiving Family Recipe week, we learned Kelly’s Autumn Squash Soup, and Michael’s fiance, Nicole Murphy’s recipe for Pumpkin Pudding Crunch. Let’s get started on Michael’s Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe.

• 1 tablespoon Vanilla
