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.

Wine Jelly

I am generally not a jelly girl. What do I spread on toast? Hummus? Yes. Way too much butter? Oh, yes. My palate cannot take “sweet and sugary” in the morning. However, I recently attended a Strawberry Festival in my home town. One of the booths offered locally made Laurel Hill Jams & Jellies. I was not particularly intrigued until I saw the large variety of wine jellies.

I tried one red and one white as if I was at a wine tasting. They were divine and not too sweet. I settled on a Malbec Wine Jelly which does not seem to be available yet on the web site.

I still won’t have jam or jelly on toast in the A.M., but I will indulge in these tasty treats other times of the day. Put a little cream cheese with a little Pinot Noir Wine Jelly on a whole wheat cracker (divas cannot forget their nutrition), and what a great dessert after lunch. Divas always have dessert after lunch!

Check them out at http://www.laurelhilljams.com/. They are fabulous baby shower and wedding favors.
