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.

White Chicken Chili

This recipe was found for me by another auntie Diva, Mandy, although she wants me to call her Marlena now. Marlena, also my Godmother, taught me that we all create our own Hells. So I filled mine with salt and vinegar potato chips, feta and spinach pizza, and John Travolta.

White Chicken Chili

6 chicken thighs or 3 large breasts

1 cup onion, chopped

5 or more cloves garlic, chopped

1 1/2 cup chicken broth

1 tsp. cumin

1 tsp. oregano

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tbsp. hot sauce

Cook all of the above in the crock pot for 4 1/2-5 1/2 hours.
Stir in
2 cans of Northern Beans
1 can corn drained

Cook for 30 minutes more.

Very important: Serve with a generous dollop of sour cream.

Make it a meal: Serve with sour dough bread and a small salad.

Wine: Sauvignon Blanc
