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.

Pulled Pork Sandwich

This one is a man-pleaser. It is hearty and meaty and saucy and messy. The man in my life eats his like a sandwich. I prefer mine open-faced and use a knife and fork. It is the easiest recipe, especially if you buy the coleslaw already made. Divas don't have time for shredding cabbage and carrots. (photo by kyliecross)

Pulled Pork Sandwich

2-3 lbs. of a pork roast

1 bottle of BBQ sauce (I like Jack Daniels original)

Put hunk of pork in a slow cooker for 8 hours with half of the BBQ sauce.
Take the hunk of pork out and pull it apart with two forks and drain the slow cooker.
Put the pulled pork back into the slow cooker with the rest of the BBQ sauce. Cook for another 30 minutes.
Serve atop wheat buns.

Options: Substitute chicken for pork. Add chopped onions to the slow cooker.

Make into a meal: Serve with coleslaw. I like my coleslaw atop the pork.

Wine: Cheap rose.
