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.

Pumpkin Bread

This comes from my newest favorite food blog: My EpicStyle. Click on the sidebar below and go right there. The author, Brian, writes, "Check out this great Pumpkin Bread recipe from Pirtle Winery. It is a great gift to give for any reason. If you wish, use 4 small loaf pans. Wrap in Saran wrap and add a ribbon and it will be so appreciated. Everyone loves something good from the home oven."

Pumpkin Bread

1 can of pumpkin
1 cup pecans or walnuts (chopped)
1 cup vegetable oil
3 cups sugar
1/2 tsp salt
4 eggs
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cinnamon
2/3 cup water
3 and 1/3 cups flour
2 tsp. soda

In a very large bowl add all the ingredients. Blend as much as you can
with a large spoon and then get your hand mixer out. Mix very well. Pour
into a prepared Bundt pan. Bake for 1 hr at 350 degrees.

Thanks, Brian!
