Trisha Yearwood: "What I’ve Learned About Life, Love — and the Perfect Peach Cobbler!"

The country superstar talks about hubby Garth Brooks, putting her blended family first and how down-home Southern cooking makes it almost easy as pie


Just outside Tulsa, Okla., a scene replayed in countless homes across America unfolds. A close-knit family sits down to dinner, their three preteen and teenage girls chattering about soccer practice as Mom and Dad pass the fried chicken. Pay no attention to the fact that in this scenario, the parents are Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks, one of country music’s most famous couples. In their private time, "we’re no different than anybody else," Trisha, 43, tells Quick & Simple. "Other than what we do for a living, we’re just like any other family."

If the three-time Grammy winner’s new cookbook is any indication, she’s not just whistling Dixie. Chock-full of unpretentious, stick-to-the-ribs Southern classics, Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen: Recipes From My Family to Yours, is about "basic, good food — the simplicity is what makes it work," Trisha says.

Her boisterous blended family — Garth, 46, and her three step daughters, Allie, 11, August, 13, and Taylor, 15 — would apparently agree. "If we were all stranded on a desert island and could only have one thing, it would be my mashed potatoes," says the star, who notes that she and the girls often prepare dinner together. "Cooking’s a family affair — it’s nice to be able to go, ‘Can you chop up the green peppers?’ Everybody pitches in and talks about their day. Those may not sound like big things, but they’re important — they can get lostwhen you’re eating on the fly."

Love it!! Thanks Lish!
