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.

Turkey & Sausage Chili

I hosted my first Chili Fest last night. I offered my Mountain Chili and White Chicken Chili, both of which are on this blog. I did a hot number for the diehards full of jalapenos and chipolte peppers. I like the mild flavor of ground turkey, so I added this one, too.

The night was a success. I had a lot of help. My apologies to the hungry vegetarians!

Turkey & Sausage Chili

1 lb. ground turkey, browned

1 chorizo sausage

2 cans diced tomatoes

1 can of pinto beans

1 can of kidney beans

1 red pepper, chopped

1 green pepper, chopped

1 small onion, chopped

7 garlic cloves, chopped

3 chipolte peppers, chopped plus some of the sauce

cumin

oregano

chili powder

Put all ingredients in a crock pot and cook on low for about 5 hours.

Make it a meal: Serve with corn bread.

Wine: Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Noir
