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.

Jalapeno Popper Spread

My friend Karyn brought a version of this over for our no book Book Club.  I couldn't keep my fingers out of it.  Addicting!  This diva likes a little pop and this spread does not disappoint.  There is only a few ingredients and you don't have to bake it--the microwave works fine for this recipe.  This will heat things up when that unexpected guest comes over. 

Jalapeno Popper Spread

2 bricks low-fat cream cheese

1 cup low-fat mayonnaise 

2 oz. jalapenos, chopped

1 can green chilies, chopped

1 cup Parmesan cheese

Stir everything together except the Parmesan.
Put the Parmesan on top last and microwave for about 3 minutes.
Serve with crudites or crackers.

Make it a meal:  Serve ahead of Spicy Beef (see recipe) and steamed broccoli.

Wine:  Rose
