Halloween, Yearwood style
New episodes include annual costumed edition
Not “Every Girl” can say she’s a famous singer,TV chef, bestselling author and entrepreneur. But Trisha Yearwood is living proof that you can do it if you dream it.And success is sweetest when you can share it with family and friends, especially during this fun time of year.
Yearwood recently released a new album — her first all-original solo effort since 2007’s “Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love” — and she’s busy with a full touring schedule. Luckily, that hasn’t stopped her from making new episodes of “Trisha’s Southern Kitchen,” which air every Saturday this month on Food Network.
After cooking up career milestone inspired recipes in the Oct .19 episode, Yearwood gets ready for Halloween in the episode on Oct. 26.And if you’re a longtime fan, you know you can look forward to seeing Yearwood and friend/hairstylist Glenda Martin unleash the fun with creative costumes and snacks.
It’s difficult to imagine anything will top Yearwood’s costume in 2017, when she dressed up as husband Garth Brooks — complete with his much-talked-about 2017 beard.The new Oct. 26 episode is titled “Ghoulish Gatsby,” and that means the decadence of the 1920s will be roaring back to life, at least in costume form.
But let’s talk food.The Halloween menu is a party-friendly one, with a festive fruit gelatin mold, as well as fried olives, shrimp cocktail with dipping sauces and spider web deviled eggs.To cap it all off, the costumed duo will mix up an apple champagne cocktail that’s perfect for this time of year.
This year’s Halloween-themed episode of “Trisha’s Southern Kitchen” is part of Food Network’s “Sweets and Treats Weekend,” which runs through Oct. 26 and 27.The special-themed block of daytime programming brings viewers back-to-back Halloween episodes of everything from “The Pioneer Woman” to “Guy’s Ranch Kitchen.”
Last year’s special prime-time edition of “Trisha’s Southern Kitchen” may have started a new annual tradition on Food Network, one that delivers a double dose of Halloween done Yearwood style.The daytime lineup for Sunday, Oct. 27, also includes “Trisha’s Halloween Spooktacular,” which features friends, costumes, decorations and zombie-themed treats — all the classic ingredients for a hauntingly good time.
