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.

Fruit Dip

This one is fun for kids. Experiment with different flavors of yogurt. I used an apricot and peach flavored Yoplait. For my little skewers, I chopped up cantaloupe and strawberries and topped them with grapes using toothpicks.

Fruit Dip

2 cups sour cream

1 cup fruit flavored yogurt Swiss style (any flavor – play around)

½ pack vanilla instant pudding dry mix

Mix all ingredients and chill.
Serve with grapes, strawberries, kiwi, and cantaloupe on toothpicks.

Make it a meal: Serve ahead of marinated lamb and a baked potato.

Wine: For kids? Forget it.
