What’s meant to be will always find a way.
Trisha Yearwood
If you’re doing this because you feel like you have a burning desire to do it, then you’ll find a way to do it, no matter what. If you’re doing this because you’re thinking, ‘Hey, this will be really cool. I’ll be famous. I’ll be on YouTube,’ then you’ll probably quit, because it’s not easy to do for the long haul.

I’m not saying I don’t enjoy the days that I’m not eating chocolate cake. But I do particularly like those days when I am eating chocolate cake.

One thing my mom taught me was that when you’re making deviled eggs, flip the eggs over the night before. They’ve been sitting in the carton as they’re transported, so the yolks settle on bottom. If you flip them, then the yolks aren’t skewed to one side.

The most important thing I want to get across is that maintaining weight loss is just hard. It takes a dedication to exercise and eating right most of the time.
Trisha Yearwood
When you’re sick, nobody takes care of you like your mom.
Trisha Yearwood
You find what makes you happy, and it’s usually being with the person you want to be with.
Trisha Yearwood
I don’t spend time wondering what might be next; I just focus on trying to savor every day.
Trisha Yearwood
I have a lot of friends who, especially in Tennessee, were looking forward to getting married who wanted to wait until it was legal in the state that they live in to get married.
Trisha Yearwood
It’s not about giving back if you’re successful or a celebrity or how much money you have: it’s about your responsibility as an adult to help others.
Trisha Yearwood
Get your education, and if you see small opportunities, take them. Each one could be a stepping stone to something bigger.
Trisha Yearwood
I’m 47, You learn life is short and it’s not worth doing something if you don’t enjoy it.
Trisha Yearwood
What I’ve learned, traveling the country and doing book signings, Mama’s biscuits – you know, somebody in Montana’s got their version of Mama’s biscuits, somebody in California’s got their version – so it made me realize that we’re not as regionalized as we think we are.
Trisha Yearwood
I grew up in Georgia, so I grew up listening to the Allman Brothers.
Trisha Yearwood
I think if I tried to be the stern parent, we would have slipped into Cinderella mode – with me as the evil stepmother!
Trisha Yearwood
I wrote a book with my mom and my sister for fun. I had no idea it would be a ‘New York Times’ bestseller.
Trisha Yearwood
I love Southern rock; it’s because I grew up on it, and no matter where I am, I’ll always be a Georgia girl.
Trisha Yearwood
The thing that people have said over and over again, especially people who don’t cook, is, ‘I watch your show, the food makes me hungry, and I think I can make that.’ That’s exciting because we’ve heard that a lot of people watch cooking shows but don’t make the food.
Trisha Yearwood
It’s always a balance, and sometimes I’m on the good side of that scale, and sometimes I’m on the bad side.
Trisha Yearwood
My upbringing did not create a healthy affection for confrontation. I’d love it if everyone always got along, and nothing ever got tense.
Trisha Yearwood
I’m as surprised as anybody. I never would have thought I’d be here talking about having a cooking show on the Food Network. It wasn’t on my list of things, but it’s fun, and I’m having a good time.
Trisha Yearwood
Songs are like movies to me, and so you put yourself in the movie. You become a character in the movie.
Trisha Yearwood
I want to sing because I want to sing.
Trisha Yearwood
I was an A student and I liked creative writing.
Trisha Yearwood
When I made my first album, there was no indication that anybody other than my parents were going to buy it.
Trisha Yearwood
When people compliment my cooking, it’s like somebody telling me that they like my music. And it’s great to be known for something else.
Trisha Yearwood
I absolutely refused to make out with the gorgeous male model.
Trisha Yearwood
I finished high school, moved to Nashville for college, and set out to break into the music business. Every night when I called home with news of my experiences, my mom and dad would encourage me to keep taking those small steps.
Trisha Yearwood
Divorce is so common and accepted in America that beating myself up over it may sound ridiculous. But I was raised to believe that divorce wasn’t an option; to me, divorce equaled failure. I wasn’t able to change that equation until I found myself in the right relationship.
Trisha Yearwood
I love potatoes – they’re my favorite food.
Trisha Yearwood
You start out playing in kitchens, and you end up playing in kitchens.
Trisha Yearwood
I don’t interest myself that much.
Trisha Yearwood
I like a gooey cookie.
Trisha Yearwood
People who truly love to sing have to do it all the time.
Trisha Yearwood
It’s cool when your husband starts to sing some old Merle Haggard song and I can pop in with a harmony and it doesn’t sound too bad.
Trisha Yearwood
And one of the reasons that I wrote the cook books was so that I could be at home more than being on the road.
Trisha Yearwood
We sat together as a family for dinner at night. And my mother had a job. My dad had a job. But there was always a meal on the table at 6:00, you know.
Trisha Yearwood
For me, cooking is very connected to my family and friends.
Trisha Yearwood
Standing behind a kitchen counter telling people about what ingredients to put in a pot didn’t feel right.
Trisha Yearwood
Nobody who cooks does it with full hair and makeup in front of a TV camera.
Trisha Yearwood
Music is my No. 1 passion. If you made me choose between music and food, it’s definitely music.
Trisha Yearwood
I almost never make stuff out of cookbooks because they’re either too complicated or there’s an ingredient in there that I can’t find.
Trisha Yearwood
I wanted to be Cher for a long time, but not for the singing. I just thought she was so cool. I wanted her long hair, and I wanted to weigh five pounds.
Trisha Yearwood
I don’t sign every check anymore, but I have my checks, my balances. I like the people I work with very much, but I check on them.
Trisha Yearwood
I get satisfaction out of making a meal for people that I love and having them enjoy it. But there’s not really anything in my life that I do that’s just for me that feeds my soul like music does.
Trisha Yearwood
I hope I never have to pick between all these things I get to do.
Trisha Yearwood
I’m like everybody: I gain the Christmas 10 or so, and then I try to exercise more and dial it back.
Trisha Yearwood
My mom and sister and I all cook.
Trisha Yearwood
The best thing that I bring in my live show is that it’s not scripted. It’s more of a conversation with my audience. And that’s what people like about the show – it’s very real. There are mistakes and laughter.
Trisha Yearwood
I really like Miranda Lambert. She has a great voice.
Trisha Yearwood
I’m not the singing cookbook lady.
Trisha Yearwood
I never dreamed that they would ask me to do a TV show. I’m the most surprised person of all.
