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.

Bacon-Wrapped Sweet Potatoes

These are a lovely little treat.  Sweet potatoes have oodles of good stuff in them nutritionally.  Just a touch of bacon adds, well, bacon flavor!  Mix a little aioli (minced garlic, mayonnaise, olive oil, and lemon juice) for dipping if you like.  We just had them as a side with sliders.




Bacon-Wrapped Sweet Potatoes

1 Sweet potato

3-4 slices of bacon

Cut potato into pieces the size of steak fries.
Cut bacon pieces in half lengthwise.
Wrap the bacon around each potato slice.
Place on a baking sheet.
Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
Flip pieces over (I use tongs), and bake another 15 minutes.

Make it a meal:  Serve with sliders and Fancy Tomato & Cucumber Salad (see recipe)

Wine:  Chardonnay
