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.

Reuben Dip



This is almost as good as a grilled Reuben.  I just love this dip.  My mother, my aunts, and myself order Reuben sandwiches  nearly everywhere we go.  Shanny, though, orders hers without sauerkraut, without the dressing, and with Dijon mustard instead.  In other words, she'd like a corned beef sandwich.   Oy! 

1 can sauerkraut

8 oz. chopped corned beef

1 handful shredded Swiss cheese

1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing

1/2 cup Light mayonnaise

Spread sauerkraut on the bottom of a pretty casserole dish.
Sprinkle corned beef on top then the cheese.
Mix the dressing and the mayonnaise together then spread atop everything.
Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Make it a meal:  Serve ahead of Crab & Orzo Salad (see recipe).
