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.

Bruchetta Bake

What to do with extra stuffing? Here's the easy answer. I use thighs for this recipe, but breasts might work, as well. Thighs? Breasts? This diva loves them all, dah-ling.

Bruschetta Bake

1 can diced tomatoes with liquid

6 oz. stuffing mix

1/2 cup water

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 lbs. chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces

1 tsp. basil

1 cup mozzarella, shredded

In a cute bowl, mix tomatoes, stuffing mix, water, and garlic.
Put chicken in a greased baking dish.
Sprinkle with basil and cheese.
Top with stuffing mixture.
Bake at 400 degrees 40-45 minutes until chicken is done.

Make it a meal: Serve with steamed green beans.

Wine: Chianti or Chardonnay
