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.

Decadent Chocolate Cakes


Since the cakes can be made ahead of time, this dessert is not only elegant, but easy. Your guests will be impressed with the presentation. Even the skinny bitches won’t be able to resist the triple chocolate delight. Watch them dredge their fingers across the crystal for every last decadent taste.

There is no reason you cannot make the cup cakes from scratch. I just don’t.

Switch things up and use half dark chocolate chips and half white chocolate, or see below for more options. Use a scoop of ice cream if necessary.

Decadent Chocolate Cakes

1 box of your favorite chocolate cake mix

1 ½ cups of dark chocolate chips

1 jar of store-bought hot fudge sauce

1 can or container of whipped cream

Make the cup cakes according to directions.
Add the chocolate chips to the batter.
Pour into greased muffin tins.
Bake according to directions.
My Betty Crocker box says 20-25 minutes.
Let cool.
Put one cake each into a stemmed goblet.
Top with heated hot fudge and whipped cream.

Options: Besides the white chocolate suggestion above, try crumbling Oreos into the batter or using a favorite crushed candy bar such as Butterfinger or Heath bar.

Wine: Cabernet Sauvignon or coffee with orange liquor such as Grand Marnier or the cheaper Gran Gala
