Diva Cooking 101

Divas cook gorgeous things that are fabulous enough to share with friends and family. They just don't cook much. Every diva needs a few, easy signature dishes to get by. Are you a diva cook?

Divas cook while listening to Billie Holiday, Muddy Waters, or the Rolling Stones.

Divas cook while sipping Champagne, Chardonnay, or a martini.

Divas cook with a feather boa draped around their shoulders.

While cooking, divas nibble gin-soaked olives or Champagne-saturated strawberries.

Divas cook while wearing an apron that says, "Tomorrow is another Chardonnay."

A diva's favorite breakfast is last night's appetizers.

Divas don't stress over particular amounts in any recipe. Glugs, plops, and handfuls are accurate enough.

Divas can cook with boas because diva recipes do not require many steps. Still, the food is fabulous.

Turkey & Cheese Casserole

This is a super brunch dish as well as being a great way to use leftover turkey. The first time I made it, the man in my life had two servings. Bring it for a hearty breakfast on your next ski weekend. It's perfect for those family gatherings. Beware: This recipe makes a lot.

Brunch Turkey

3 cups cubed turkey

8 oz. shredded cheese ( I use Jarlsberg Lite, but anything works. Try cheddar or Havarti with dill.)

3 cups cubed French or Italian bread

1 tbs. flour

1 tbs. Dijon mustard

3 tbs. melted butter

4 large eggs, beaten

2 ½ cups milk

pinch salt

pinch pepper


Place bread, turkey, and cheese in a large bowl.
In another bowl, mix the flour, mustard, melted butter, eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
Pour the milk mixture over cubed bread, turkey and cheese.
Stir.
Let stand a few minutes while the oven heats to 350 degrees.
Pour into a buttered 2-quart baking dish. Bake for about 50 to 60 minutes, or until puffed and browned and gorgeous.
A knife inserted in center should come out with very little liquid on it.
