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.

Crock Pot Portuguese Chicken

This is one of those throw-it-all-together-and-let-it-cook-all-day recipes. It is a hearty meal to feed your family on cold autumn nights.

Personally, I skip the olives and save those for martinis. Up to you.

Crock Pot Portuguese Chicken

1/2 lb. chorizo sausage, chopped

2 onions, chopped

4 cloves garlic, chopped

2-1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 (14 oz) cans diced tomatoes with roasted garlic

1 tsp. dried oregano leaves

a dash of pepper

6 oz. can tomato paste

14 oz. can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

Combine all ingredients except artichokes in crock pot and mix.
Cook on low for 7-9 hours until chicken is cooked.
Stir in artichoke hearts and olives and cook on low for 10-15 minutes longer.

Make it a meal: Serve over rice or couscous.

Wine: Sangiovese
