But my favorite is probably lasagna,\u201d he said, noting that the process is no quick fix. \u201cIt\u2019s one of those things it takes her all day, like, it\u2019s an all-day thing, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-10\"><\/div>\n<p>That level of care, he hinted, makes it more than just dinner \u2014 it\u2019s an event in their home. \u201cI could eat that for the rest of my life,\u201d Shelton added, cementing its spot at the top of his culinary wish list.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Italian Roots, Family Traditions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\"><\/div>\n<p>While lasagna reigns supreme in the everyday kitchen lineup, Shelton also acknowledged Stefani\u2019s broader Italian cooking chops, which extend to homemade pizza and an elaborate holiday timpano \u2014 a dome-shaped pasta dish filled with eggs, sauce, cheese, and more. The timpano has become a Christmas tradition for the couple, but lasagna, Shelton stressed, is the regular favorite.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>More Than a Meal<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For Shelton, Stefani\u2019s lasagna isn\u2019t just about flavor \u2014 it\u2019s a reminder of the love and care that goes into a home-cooked meal. In a life filled with tour dates, television tapings, and public appearances, the long, slow process of making lasagna is a comforting constant.<\/p>\n<p>And while fans may know Shelton as the down-to-earth coach from\u00a0<em>The Voice<\/em>\u00a0or the man behind hits like\u00a0<em>God\u2019s Country<\/em>, this peek into his home life shows another side \u2014 one where the perfect plate of lasagna, made by the woman he loves, can rival even the biggest moments on stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Country superstar Blake Shelton may dominate the stage, but at home, it\u2019s his wife, Gwen Stefani, who calls the shots in the kitchen \u2014 especially when it&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4821,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/grow24.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/grow24.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/grow24.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow24.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow24.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4820"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/grow24.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4820\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4822,"href":"https:\/\/grow24.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4820\/revisions\/4822"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow24.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/grow24.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow24.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow24.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
