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.

Butternut Squash with Lemon & Parsley



I boil my squash for this recipe, but baking it works fine, too. I like this as an alternative to the mashed squash with butter that I grew up with, no offense, Mom. This is a great recipe for dieters, one of which I happen to be from time to time.

Butternut Squash with Lemon & Parsley

2-3 shallots

olive oil for sautéing

1 butternut squash cubed & cooked

parsley

2 squeezes lemon

Sauté shallots in olive oil.
Add cooked squash.
Sprinkle parsley in.
Squeeze lemon.
Mix and serve.

Make it a meal: Serve with Crock Pot Herb Chicken (see recipe) and brussel sprouts sautéed in wine.

Wine: Sauvignon Blanc
