Like many people, Trisha Yearwood has been busy in the kitchen during the past year but for the Food Network star, it s not a big shake-up from her usual routine. I think I was really born for cooking in quarantine, because I was raised on the theory that simple is better, the country superstar, who recently recovered from COVID, tells PEOPLE. My pantry holds basics, staples that I use daily, so when we were faced with being home and not going to the grocery store, especially in the very beginning of the pandemic, I didn t panic. I knew I could make meals out of what I had in my freezer I always keep frozen ground beef, steaks, pizzas and dried goods like pasta and canned sauces.
