When her mom passed away in 2011 after battling breast cancer, eating became Yearwood's coping mechanism. Let's spread hugs this Mother's day to bring love to everyone! And you can bet, I’ll be hugging every mom I see! #SpreadTheLove #mom #mothersday #HappyMothersDay #momsĪ post shared by Trisha Yearwood on at 6:18am PDT Whether it is your mom that is with you, your mom that has passed, or a woman that has been like a mom or a mentor in your life, hug a mom and share the photo with #HugAMom. This year, we’re celebrating mother's day in Fargo, North Dakota, but we want to celebrate moms all weekend long. I am so blessed to have bonus daughters that make me feel so special all year, and especially on this day, and each year, my sister and I share stories and reminisce about our mom. For some, Mother’s Day is a lot more complicated than sending a card or flowers. I can’t fathom what this day must be like for moms who have lost a child. #HugAMom My whole life I never one time thought about how Mother's Day is often a hard day for those that have lost their mothers…until I lost mine. Yearwood also sees her Food Network show Trisha's Southern Kitchen as a way to honor her family: 'We make their recipes, and we tell their stories, and it keeps them alive.' Garth Brooks makes an excellent sous chef. And the unfried chicken seasoning kit is a healthier riff on her mom's famous dish.

'The biscuit mix is my favorite, because it was born out of something my dad made every Saturday morning,' she said. Before Yearwood's mom passed away in 2011, the duo wrote two cookbooks together, and Yearwood's now able to carry on their traditions through her new collection. She had to learn to cook when she moved away from her parents, but came to rely on the recipes and tips she'd picked up from them. 'The first time I had a vegetable out of a can, I called home and was like, 'What is happening?'' Yearwood laughed.

Her childhood was spent on a farm in Georgia, so her mom often pulled from the garden for meals. 'I grew up in a house of cooks,' the country star said.

Let's celebrate our dads together! Happy Father's Day to all dads here and in our hearts! xo #happyfathersday #fathersday #dadĪ post shared by Trisha Yearwood on at 7:10am PDT #HugADad Post a picture with your dad or someone who has been like a father in your life using #HugADad.
