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.

Spicy Bean Dip

You can, of course make this as spicy or mild as you like.  Being a Busy Diva, I like mine SPICY.  Hot stuff is what I'm about.  Make it healthier by using fat free ingredients, just watch the amount of sugar in those products.  Busy Divas don't want to become Diabetic Divas.



Spicy Bean Dip

 1 can refrained beans

 1/2 brick cream cheese

 2 glops sour cream

 Some chopped up jalapenos

 hot sauce--I pour it on

 smoked paprika

 garlic powder

 cumin

 chili powder

 oregano

 1 handful shredded cheese (I like Monterey  Jack for this recipe)

 Mix everything except the cheese together in a pretty bowl.
Transfer it all to a pretty baking dish.
Spread the cheese on top.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.
Serve with some nice tortilla chips or crackers.

 Make it a meal:  Serve ahead of Chicken with Saucy Cranberry (see recipe) and green beans.

 Wine:  Something red like a nice Cabernet Sauvignon
