Recipe from Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood: Chicken Pizzaserves 12 to 14
Ingredients
2 13.8-ounce cans premade pizza crust dough
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (about 8 ounces)
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (about 8 ounces)
1 bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into strips
1 red onion, sliced vertically
3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, grilled and diced
6 slices bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Roll the pizza dough out and fit onto two 15-inch pizza pans. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of garlic on each pizza crust, followed by 1/2 cup each of the mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup of the Cheddar cheese. Scatter half of the bell pepper, sliced onion, chicken, and bacon on top of the cheeses. Sprinkle another 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese over each pizza and drizzle each pizza with 1 tablespoon more of olive oil. Bake the pizzas for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crusts are lightly browned. Slice each pizza into 8 pieces.

Singer Trisha Yearwood has found another way to reach her audience—with this follow-up to her successful
Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen, she serves up more homey, Southern-inflected fare from her country music kitchen. And this newest is every pinch of salt the sequel—from the foreword by her husband, Garth Brooks, and her intimate personal anecdotes to the recipes donated by family and friends (her grandmother's strawberry cake; Brooks's mother's cabbage rolls, her mama's homemade waffles). Yearwood jumps off with some helpful hints, such as the importance of fresh-shredded cheese and how to use scissors to release a stubborn piecrust. The meat of the book is rib-sticking classics for both special occasions and weeknights, like sweet potato pudding, jalapeño hushpuppies, and a Lowcountry boil. Yearwood's ingredients are not for the faint of heart or high of cholesterol (Garth's Breakfast Bowl, for example is a mix of eggs, frozen tater tots, sausage, bacon, and packaged cheese and garlic tortellini). But Yearwood's enthusiasm and warmth come through, particularly in the handwritten notes at the bottom of the pages. Photos.

Unlike most of the reviewers here, I did not see "The View" and have actually never watched it. I volunteer at my local library and see many of the new books that come through. Being a cookbook lover, this one caught my eye as soon as I saw it. As I browsed through the book, I was instantly impressed with the beautiful photos of food and family. As I looked through the recipes, I saw many that I would love to try, as well as some that I would not make (but that is true with most cookbooks.) I love to eat and love to cook, but there are some food products that I do not eat such as pork products and hot or spicy foods. Nonetheless, I was interested in many of the recipes I saw and took the book home. Like some of the other reviewers, I had that "down home, good food and family" feeling as I enjoyed the stories and family memories. There was just enough information about each recipe to be interesting and memorable. I have only had the cookbook for 3 days and have made just one very simple recipe so far; the "Sweet and Saltines" which I plan to bring to a family party. Oh my goodness!! My husband and I ate a few to "sample" and they are addictive!! I did find that the caramel seeped through and coated the bottom of the crackers as well as the top, so I don't know if that is supposed to happen or not. I see no way to avoid that, for the gooey sauce will make its way through the crevices in the crackers while quickly heating up in the oven. I did find that these will melt and get soft if left out of the fridge for too long, so I have stored them in sealed containers in the fridge. After being in the fridge overnight, they were awesome the following day. This week I will be making the "Chicken Poppy Seed Salad" and "Uncle Wilson's Stuffed Peppers.
