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.

Chocolate Dipped Milano Cookies





This little diva went to the market. And when she did, she picked up cookies.

Mia’s favorite food is watermelon (pink food). Her favorite thing to do is anything her big brother is doing. She likes making up the rules, running the show, and demands a lot of attention—all behaviors I encourage. A diva after my own heart!

Chocolate Dipped Milano Cookies

Any Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies (Mia likes original, I like raspberry)

Chocolate sauce

Jimmies

Heat chocolate sauce and pour into a cute custard dish.
Put jimmies into a matching dish.
Dip the ends of Milano cookies into the sauce first, then the jimmies.
The next step depends on you.
Mia: bite right away, then double dip.
Chardonnay Queen: Arrange on a pretty plate and serve to your guests. When no one's looking, double dip.

Make into a meal: Serve with milk, followed by popcorn and a movie.

Wine: Mia’s too young to drink wine.
