“Baseball parallels life in so many ways that it can be an incredible blessing to have some understanding of the game. Andy has written a heartfelt and entertaining book for novice and expert alike. These thirty insightful lessons aren’t only a necessity for our boys, but the men who impact their lives every single day.”

—Kent Bottenfield, former Major League Baseball pitcher

“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 enthusiasm and warmth come through, particularly in the handwritten notes at the bottom of the pages.”
