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.

Leftover Squash & Apple Soup

This is made with leftover Thanksgiving squash already seasoned with evaporated milk and thyme, as well as a bit of white pepper. This is great to put in a thermos and have for lunch in the middle of a ski day. That's what this diva did! (photo by audinou)

Leftover Squash & Apple Soup

Leftover squash that has been seasoned with thyme & white pepper

a few scoops of applesauce

Put the two ingredients in the blender and puree.
Make sure to clean out the margaritas first.
Heat, don't boil, and serve.

Make it a meal: Serve with other Thanksgiving leftovers like 1/2 turkey and stuffing sandwich on wheat bread.

Wine: You really shouldn't drink until it is time for apre-ski. Then have a Chardonnay.
