We’re not sure if Kelly Clarkson is trying to tease us by putting on smashing renditions of country classics, or if she just really loves the genre as much as we do. Clarkson once again proved that she has the chops to fully switch from pop music to country at will when she performed Trisha Yearwood‘s ‘Walkaway Joe’ this week.
This year, Trisha Yearwood has managed to add another job title to her resume: Cooking show host. The country music star showed off her kitchen skills on the Food Network this spring in a six-episode series called ‘Trisha Yearwood’s Southern Kitchen.’ The first season of the show was just a test run, but as it turns out, cooking fans love the ‘She’s in Love With the Boy’ hitmaker just as much as country music fans — the show has been renewed for a second season.
While both Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks are highly celebrated names in country music, they’re also parents, which does more to dictate their schedule at the moment than audience demand. However, with their youngest daughter set to graduate high school in 2014, the couple are starting to let themselves dream about life as empty-nesters.
By now, you may have heard that Trisha Yearwood is bringing her cooking talents to the Food Network for her new six-episode series, ‘Trisha’s Southern Kitchen.’ But what fans of the songstress-turned-chef might not realize is just how family-inspired Yearwood’s recipes really are.
The Food Network will have one more talented cook to add to their lineup this spring, as Trisha Yearwood has signed on for her new six-episode series, ‘Trisha’s Southern Kitchen.’
Happy Birthday to one of the most talented and influential country artists OF ALL TIME!! There, I got the hero worship out of the way. Seriously, though, Troyal (don't laugh, Troyal was his dad's name) Garth Brooks was born fifty years ago today in Tulsa, OK.
Trisha Yearwood is about to marry two of her longtime abilities: being in front of an audience and offering up delicious southern fare. The Grammy Award winning artist has already authored two bestselling cookbooks — ‘Cooking for Family and Friends’ and ‘Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen’ — and now she’s about to step into the spotlight with her own six-episode cooking show on the Food Network.
Okay, something you may or may not know about me. I love to cook. I never have enough time to do it to the level I would like, but I love it nonetheless. And I'm also kind of addicted to the Food Network and the Cooking Channel. So, you can imagine how intrigued I was to discover that one of my favorite artists is getting her own show.
Garth Brooks. Did you ever have the chance to see him when he was absolutely at the zenith of his career? Huge stadiums were absolutely sold out for his performances. He’d give every single fan in the audience the experience of a masterful, over-whelming performance. It was my distinct pleasure to have seen him twice in concert. A masterful performer, no doubt. But now, he’s reigned it way, way back with his performances at the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas.
Trisha Yearwood has never shied away from an opportunity to brag about the strong relationship she has with her mother, Gwen Yearwood. She was the inspiration behind the singer’s two best-selling cookbooks, but also an example of how to be an independent woman and a loving, caring wife. Gwen Yearwood died early Saturday morning after a long battle with cancer.
