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.

Roasted Grape Tomatoes

Divas love versatility in their cooking, wardrobe, men, and jewelry.Divas will love this simple dish for the same reasons. I make these ahead of time and then pop them out and throw them into various recipes. They also work fine on their own as a side dish. You can also freeze them. Variety!

Roasted Grape Tomatoes

1 carton grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes cut in half

2-3 glugs olive oil

oregano, thyme, or basil

garlic cloves, minced

Put everything into a pretty bowl and mix.
Pour it all into a roasting dish.
Roast it all at 375 degrees for about 40 minutes.
That's it!

Make it a meal: Serve alongside Chicken & Stuffing (see recipe)

Wine: Sangiovese
