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.

Chicken & Ham Bake

I make this when I have leftovers. It is easy and fairly quick. If you don't have leftover ham at the same time as your leftover chicken just buy a ham patty all shrink-wrapped and chop it up or use a few deli slices.

Chicken & Ham Bake

3 cups leftover chicken, cubed

2 cups leftover ham, cubed

a bunch of sliced mushrooms

1 cup cheese, shredded (Swiss is nice, but whatever is leftover works)

salt & pepper

pinch of paprika

1 can cream of mushroom soup

½ cup sour cream

1/4 cup white wine

Grease a casserole dish.
Place chicken in the bottom, then the ham, then the mushrooms, then the cheese
Salt and pepper as desired.
Sprinkle with paprika. (I go around twice.)
Mix the soup, sour cream, and wine, then pour over it all.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes until it is heated through.

Make it a meal: Serve with steamed asparagus and biscuits.

Wine: Whatever is leftover…as if. Open a lovely Chardonnay or Pinot Noir.
