Trisha Yearwood's back with another hit … this time, it's not a song. The Grammy-winning country singer teamed up with her mom and sister – and this is not a celeb ghostwriting stunt, she actually did – to reproduce her family's home recipes, in a new cookbook titled
"Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen." The Georgia part is where Yearwood grew up, the Oklahoma part is where she lives with husband Garth Brooks and their family.
The book's got recipes for Southern-style cheese straws and boiled peanuts and fried chicken, plain old family-style chicken broccoli casserole and meatloaf, the rose-strewn cake her schoolteacher/caterer mom made for her wedding, and the dish Yearwood makes for Brooks on his birthday. Recipes are deliberately straightforward and un-fancy – the default asparagus is canned, the sausage hors d'oeuvres use Bisquick, and Yearwood considers it a point of pride that she doesn't call for unusual spices. They are, though, clearly drawn from real family dinners, based on the notebook Yearwood's mom and sister put together for her a few years ago. (Did all our moms do that for us?
