Busy Diva's Dinner Menu: Red Velvet Brownies

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.

Red Velvet Brownies

These are not only divine tasting, they are divine LOOKING. I adore anything red velvet. Cupcakes, cake, bed sheets...With the red bodies and white frosting, these end up looking like little Santa brownies. I use dark chocolate for health reasons--antioxidents and such--but white chocolate chips are decadent, too! Enjoy, my busy divas!

Red Velvet Brownies

1 box Red Velvet cake mix

1 stick butter, melted

1 egg

1/2 cup water

1 cup dark chocolate chips

buttercream frosting

Mix egg, butter, water in a bowl.
Add box mix, stir until the ingredients are combined.
Add chips and pour mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan.
Bake for 40-45 minutes at 350 degrees.
Let cool before frosting.

Make it a meal: Serve after Slow Cooked Pork with Stuffing (see recipe).
