Miranda Lambert is the lovely face smiling back from the cover of the November issue of Good Housekeeping, as the magazine chatted with her about life, home, marriage, and career — and as part of the feature, Miranda shares that one of the things she feels she learned from her dad is how to be a good judge of character. So when we spoke with Miranda recently, we asked her just what it is that she looks for. (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

• Another item in the Good Housekeeping feature on Miranda Lambert is a recipe for a peanut butter pie that hubby Blake Shelton really loves. And while it’s singled out as “Blake’s Favorite Pie,” Miranda says that Blake loves so much about Thanksgiving, when it came to choosing just one pie, it was anybody’s guess! (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

  Miranda Lambert appreciates people who are genuine. (:26)
“I feel like you can tell when you meet someone if they’re genuine. I like for people to be real and not put-on, and I think people can also judge that about me. I mean, I have one of those faces that whatever I think is on my face (laughs), whether it’s good or bad, you know, I wish I could act a little better sometimes, but what I like about people is just when they’re themselves. You know? Whether they are sweet or not sweet, I’d rather just know upfront how they really are (laughs), you know?”

  Miranda Lambert talks about hubby Blake Shelton’s love for Thanksgiving and the amazing peanut butter pie recipe featured in November’s Good Housekeeping. (:23)
“It’s my mom’s recipe, the peanut butter pie recipe, but it’s delicious. And he has a lot — they just picked one in Good Housekeeping. He loves Thanksgiving. That is like his favorite time of year. He loves fall and loves when I put the pumpkins out and the hay bales and scarecrows and all that. And his favorite time is Thanksgiving, and he actually loves every single thing we make at Thanksgiving, so that’s just one they randomly picked!” (laughs)
