This collection of 12 Trisha Yearwood recipes covers everything from savory mains to sweet desserts.
1. Trisha Yearwood’s Slow Cooker Chocolate Candy
Forget standing over a hot stove for hours when feeding a crowd. Let your slow cooker handle the hard work for this candy.
The gentle heat melts the chocolate perfectly without a water bath. The recipe calls for almond bark to add a mild nuttiness.
You can easily swap that for peanut or almond butter if you cannot find bark at the store.
2. Trisha Yearwood’s Broccoli Salad
This salad is exactly what I crave. It offers crunch and satiety alongside plenty of bacon.
Blanch the broccoli to achieve the ideal texture. Boil the florets briefly and shock them in ice water to halt the cooking process.
This technique leaves the vegetable tender yet firm rather than soft. Mix mayo and apple cider vinegar for a fast and tangy dressing.
3. Trisha Yearwood’s Chocolate Torte
Try this recipe if you need a dessert that stops the show. It requires a significant time investment.
The look on everyone’s face makes the effort worthwhile. You bake 12 individual layers and stack them while warm.
Glaze the warm cakes as you go. This method prevents the disaster of slicing a cake that thin.
4. Hummingbird Pancakes
Hummingbird cake acts as the southern relative to banana bread. It is soft and flavorful enough for any event.
Pineapple and coconut set this cake apart from the standard banana loaf. These pancakes are perfect if that flavor profile sounds appealing.
Expect a fluffy texture with light spices and fruit. Make them for dinner instead of waiting for morning.
5. Trisha Yearwood’s Sweet and Saltines
My sweet tooth is huge. I adore the combination of salty and sweet flavors.
Simple ingredients yield crunchy crackers and creamy chocolate. The sugar amount is perfect for satisfying cravings.
Place the crackers salt side down for the best taste. This prevents the salt from dissolving into the caramel.
6. Trisha Yearwood Orzo Salad Recipe
Orzo is actually pasta despite looking like rice. Its light texture works beautifully in this salad.
The instructions call for mild Italian pepperoncini. Swap those for sun dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers if needed.
Serve this as a side at a BBQ. Add grilled shrimp or chicken to turn it into a full meal.
7. Sweet Potato Souffle
The name sounds scary but the process is easy. This dish offers a lighter option compared to heavy casseroles.
It remains fairly dense despite that fact. Eggs create a texture similar to cake.
Whip the egg whites and fold them in for an even lighter result. A topping of brown sugar and pecans is impossible to resist.
8. Creamy Corn and Chile Dip
I love corn in every possible form. Do not expect me to share if this dip is on the table.
Garlic and scallions provide excellent flavor. Cream and cream cheese create a rich base.
Use fire roasted corn cobs to boost the taste profile. Serve it with paprika and Cotija for a Mexican street corn vibe.
9. Double French Toast
French vanilla creamer appears as an unusual ingredient in this list. I had never baked with it until trying this recipe.
It makes the egg mixture thick and creamy. The creamer adds fantastic flavor too.
Try swapping it for pumpkin spice or another variety.
10. Trisha Yearwood’s Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
I prefer chewy cookies over crunchy ones. Removing them from the oven early ensures a soft texture.
Use room temperature ingredients whenever you can. Beat the sugars and butter thoroughly.
Sifting the flour adds a light touch. Take them out when the edges are gold but the center looks raw.
They finish cooking on the hot baking sheet.
11. Cherry Lime Slushies
You need a decent blender for this drink. I broke mine once by using too much ice.
A machine that crushes ice easily makes this quick. Blend cherries with ice and soda.
Add frozen limeade concentrate and let the machine work. Kids love these treats.
Adults can add a splash of rum.
12. Trisha Yearwood’s Charleston Cheese Dip
Forget about standard queso. This recipe elevates hot cheese dip.
The base combines cream cheese with shredded cheese and plenty of mayo. Crackers and bacon sit on top.
The cracker tops crisp up while the bottoms melt into the cheese. Omit the bacon for vegetarians.
