Singer Avril Lavigne revealed her husband, musician Deryck Whibley, is spending the holidays writing songs while he’s recuperating at home.

“He’s been writing songs a little bit right now at the house because he hurt his back so he has to stay at home,” Avril told OK! after performing on ABC’s Dancing With the Stars results show last night.

“He had to cancel his tour. I’ll walk in the room and be like, ‘I think you should do this’ and then walk out,” she added. “That’s kind of the cool thing about doing the same thing. We can always give advice and be there for each other.”

While looking after Deryck, whom she married in July 2006, Avril’s also planning a big holiday season. “I’m going to be entertaining this year. I’ll be the host and having all my family over and cooking and everything,” she said.

Avril said of her best dish: “I make really good butternut squash. I put it in the oven with rosemary, brown sugar and honey on it. But if you want to be healthy, just put rosemary, olive oil and pepper on it.”

Her New Year’s resolutions? “I’ll be on tour next year, so I guess just to work hard and be healthy and take care of myself.”

And obviously, Deryck, too!
