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.

Crock Pot Chicken and Shrimp Alfredo

Crock Pot Chicken and Shrimp Alfredo is an elegant recipe in a creamy Alfredo sauce. The vegetables pack in nutrients, and hopefully you can find low-fat Alfredo sauce. My own nearby supermarket does not stock it. Go even healthier with whole wheat pasta. I use linguine.

Crock Pot Chicken and Shrimp Alfredo

1 onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2-3 carrots, sliced

1 bunch broccoli florets

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into pieces

1 (16-ounce) jar Alfredo sauce

1/2 teaspoon thyme

1/8 teaspoon white pepper

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1 (10-ounce) package frozen fully cooked shrimp, thawed

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 (12-ounce) package pasta

Mix all but the last three ingredients into the crock pot.
Pour Alfredo sauce over all.
Cook on low for 6-7 hours or until chicken is cooked and vegetables are tender.
During the last 20 minutes, add shrimp.
Serve over hot cooked pasta.
Garnish with Parmesan cheese.

Make it a meal: Serve with garlic bread.

Wine: Chardonnay
