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.

Chicken with Saucy Cranberry

The ingredients sound weird, but this easy recipe is tangy, sweet, and saucy.  This saucy diva also appreciates the nice presentation.  And did I say easy?  Serve it up with some mashed potatoes your man whipped up, and get the sauce all over. 



 Chicken with Saucy Cranberry 

 1 lb. chicken breast

 1/2 can whole berry cranberry sauce

 1/2 bottle (or a bit less) Thousand Island dressing

 A pinch each of paprika, parsley, dried onion

 Lightly grease a baking dish.
Place chicken in dish.
Salt & pepper if you wish.
Mix the rest of the ingredients in a pretty bowl.
Pour mixture atop chicken.
Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
Uncover and bake another 15 minutes until chicken is done.

 Make it a meal:  Serve with mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach.

 Wine:  Tough call.  When in a pinch, go with Chardonnay, of course!
