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.

Krauted Sloppy Joes

Here's another kid pleaser. The sauerkraut and chili powder give this old favorite a nice zing. Divas are all about the zing. This diva eats Sloppy Joes as an open-faced sandwich and on only half the bun. We need to watch those carbs! (photo by bucklava)

Krauted Sloppy Joes

1 lb. hamburger, browned and drained

1 (14 oz. ) fresh or canned sauerkraut (You can guess which I use)

1 1/2 cup BBQ Sauce (I like Jack Daniels, another surprise)

1 tbsp. mustard (brown is good)

1 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 tsp. chili powder

2 dashes of salt

1 dash of pepper

Put it all in the crock pot and cook on low for 4 hours.
Serve on rolls.

Make it a meal: Serve with Cheesy Peas (see recipe) or cole slaw.

Wine: It would be wrong to serve your kids wine. They'd be better off with milk. Serving to an adult crowd? A glass of Chianti would be nice.
