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.

Creamy Hamburger Topping

Do you get tired of making hamburgers the same way all the time? My husband does not: ketchup and lettuce. All the time. Just to clue you in, he has also been eating the same two cereals for the last 15 years: Frosted Mini-Wheats and Honey Cheerios. Five days a week. (photo by elizabethtrittipo)

I simply cannot survive that way.

Creamy Hamburger Topping

½ onion, sliced

½ red pepper, sliced

a few pinches of dill weed

salt & pepper to taste

½ cup mayonnaise, (I use light)

2 hamburger patties

1 whole wheat bun

Sauté onion and red pepper in olive oil or butter if you are feeling thin.
Add dill weed, salt, pepper, and mayonnaise and stir for a few minutes.
Set aside.
Grill burgers and toast the bun. (Divas love their buns toasted.)
Serve burgers open-faced on top of bun slice smothered in the creamy topping.

Options: Add mushrooms to the onion and red pepper sauté.

Make it a meal: Serve with a small side salad.

Wine: Beaujolais
