She talks about her childhood, her journey to becoming Blake Shelton's wife and she even shares Blake's favorite pie recipe in the latest issue.

You may be surprised to find out Miranda is just like everyone else.  She 'shops for clothes at Target and Forever 21 and buys makeup at Walgreens.'  When she's not on the road touring, she like to spend time with Blake and time in the kitchen, cooking.  Miranda shared Blake's favorite recipe, peanut butter pie.  It sounds so good I think I'll give it a try.=

Peanut Butter Pie

1 9-in. refrigerated ready-to-use piecrust
¾ c. sugar
1/3 c. cornstarch
1 tsp. salt
4 c. whole milk
4 lg. egg yolks, lightly beaten
¾ c. peanut butter (preferably crunchy)
3 Tbsp. butter, at room temperature
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
Freshly whipped sweetened heavy cream, for serving
Chopped peanuts, for garnish

1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Place piecrust in 9-in. pie plate; bake as label directs for one-crust pie shell.

2. In saucepan, stir together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. In large bowl, whisk milk and egg yolks until blended; gradually whisk into sugar mixture. Heat on medium 6 to 7 minutes or until mixture thickens and boils, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute, stirring. Remove from heat; stir in peanut butter, butter, and vanilla until well blended.

3. Immediately pour peanut butter mixture into baked pie shell; press plastic wrap onto surface of filling. Refrigerate pie at least 4 hours or until well chilled and set.

4. Top with whipped cream and garnish with chopped peanuts and serve!

Doesn't sound like the type of thing you'll be making if you're watching your weight, but everyone needs a treat now and then.
