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.

Baked Potato Salad

For your next get-together make this ahead of time, then pop in the oven when you are about ready. Dieters beware! Make sure to use light mayo and sour cream to counteract the cheese and bacon. As you can see from my picture, I have a little trouble crumbling bacon.

The horseradish and Dijon mustard give this potato salad zip. Divas know all about zip...and unzip. Especially unzip!

Baked Potato Salad

4 large potatoes, diced

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup sour cream

1 tbsp. Dijon mustard

1/2 tbsp. horseradish

1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

salt & pepper to taste

6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled

a sprinkling of chives

Boil the potatoes for about 15 minutes until soft.
Meanwhile, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, and horseradish.
When potatoes are done, stir in mayonnaise mix.
Stir in cheese and chives.
Transfer it all into a 9 X 11 baking dish.
Top with bacon.
When ready, heat at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.

Make it a meal: Serve with burgers and dogs.

Wine: Chianti
