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.

Divine Deviled Eggs with Salmon & Capers

These are a delight. And if there is anyone still out there on the Atkins diet, these are for you. I had three for lunch and will have two for breakfast. I love how the salmon makes these a little bit pink.

Divine Deviled Eggs with Salmon & Capers

5 eggs, hard boiled

a bit of leftover salmon, smashed

2 scoops mayonnaise

1 scoop Dijon mustard

1 squeeze lemon

1-2 pinches dill

a bit of pepper and salt

3 dashes of hot sauce

Cut the boiled eggs in half and remove the yolk.
Mix the yolk with all the other ingredients except the garnish.
Fill the mixture back into the eggs and garnish.
