Country singer and foodie
Trisha Yearwood recently told
Southern Living magazine that she loves her home state because "Oklahoma is the land of common sense. ... The nicest people you’re ever going to meet live here.”
The interview is in the November issue of Southern Living, on newsstands now.
Yearwood moved to Owasso, outside of Tulsa, 11 years ago with husband
Garth Brooks. She says of Owasso, "... Everyone is practical and down to earth, and none of them care if you’re some hit singer, which makes it a wonderful place to raise your children."
She's now hosting her second season of "
Trisha’s Southern Kitchen" on the
Food Network and said she started cooking because she missed her mom after a move to Nashville early in her career.
"I was homesick and missed my mother's cooking, so I tried to make her potato salad," she told the magazine. "I cried when it tasted like hers."
She also said of the first time she met Brooks, "The first day we met, we sang together; it felt like we’d been singing together our whole lives."
