Busy Diva's Dinner Menu: 03/01/2012

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.

Peanut Noodles

These are so delicious! I ate two small-ish bowls for lunch. And easy! I made them in the time it took to cook the noodles. And versatile! Eat hot, eat cold, add broccoli, don't. And sort of not bad for you! Use whole wheat pasta, low sodium soy sauce, and no sugar added peanut butter.

Peanut Noodles

8 oz. spaghetti, linguini, or some sort of long pasta

2 Tbsp. peanut butter

2 Tbsp. soy sauce

1 Tbsp. rice vinegar

1 Tbsp. brown sugar

Cook noodles.
In a pretty bowl mix the remaining ingredients until smooth.
Stir the mixture into the cooked noodles.
That's it!

Make it a meal: Add broccoli or shrimp or serve as a side dish.

Wine: Malbec
