Lasagna

Spinach Feta Lasagna

         The art of lasagna making:

Divadish Kitchens first plans the Sauce:
The rich marina sauce should be filled with a robust combination of spices and semi sweet wine.
Dark Green Olive oil, imported Parmesan cheese, and feta crumbles.
Then slowly marinated over a period of 8-16hours in a slow cooker.
Adding your choice of meats:
Pork
Chicken 
Beef
Sausage
Or combinations of the above meats is also very good and very tasty.


Next cooking your noodles till they are Al-Dante or half cooked and cooled set aside
these noodles for layering. Cook App. 2 1/2 boxes.
Next step is the Ricotta & Eggs and sour cream mixture.
Blend these items  together till smooth.


Now starts the layering process.

• Noodles
• Meat sauce
• Ricotta mixture
• Cheeses( Parmesan,Feta, Provolone, Mozzarella)
• Repeat all the layers till the pan is filled to 2-3 inches below edge.
• Cook @ 325 for 1+ hours till done. Not dry or crisp.
• Serve with Italian salad & Crusty bread & butter.

Dessert should be a Ricotta Cake (Chocolate or Lemon )
There is your Italian meal from Divadish Kitchens

Oprah Say's!

Oprah's show was a Window to all of our Fears, Hopes, Inspirations and Despair.

She talked, helped, expressed, and molded each one of Us in our own living-rooms @ 4:00- M-F.
We all felt like she was personally talking to each one of Us when we turned on our TV sets!
I did, and I learned a lot from her candor, and her own personal experiences.

It was not a Reality Talk Show, it was a Real Talk Show>>>> Quality, Honest, and Meaningful.!
Why I am writing this today to all of you is I remember one of Oprah's phrases that she used more than once on her shows. It was "Turn your Wounds into WISDOM" pretty powerful words and they apply each and everyday to each and every thing we all do!

At Divadish or the reasons for Divadish is more than cooking for me.

It is a healing of the Soul through my expression with Food.
It is Independence and Creativity.
A good friend told me recently that I have never looked so Good, and Happy, really I replied.
So I started thinking, that those Words were seeping into what I knew all along,you must allow the
Hurt, the Pain, The Sorrow, to Heal and as it does it becomes a New Horizon of Life, Love, Exuberance, and Freedom!

So Oprah Thanks for allowing Me to Heal and begin my Journey to Help others.!

DIVADISH CARES!

Cookies!

Lemon Zest Cookies

Finding a good sugar cookie recipe is almost as hard as finding a needle in a haystack.

These wafer thin buttery lemon crisps are melt in your mouth Yum!

Let me draw you a pictured in your mind, light, chewy, moist, and just the right amount of lemon to make your mouth say Yes please!

I like these anytime because they are not a heavy cookie, and you can have (3) @ only 50 calories...

Now you all know how we like more for less!...

Accompany them with your favorite beverage and you have a mid-morning snack, evening, or just anytime you want a cookie.

Miss Divadish enjoys a few with her afternoon tea while she takes a break outside with the birds and her dog Travis, a Cattle dog.

Whatever your break excuse is I hope you will fine time for a Cookie break.

A Little Diva in every Dish!

On location Personal Chef

Cooking is not just a passion, it is a feeling that comes over you when that dish you just created looks and tastes just the way you imagined it would!
It is surreal at times, you think about food differently, and when you see tomatoes, potatoes, meats or anything else for that matter, you start to put together recipes in your head.
You get so excited about good food, for everyone, you want everyone to know that good food does not need to be only in the finest restaurants, it can be in your kitchens too!
If I could be anything I wanted in the world,,, I still would pick being a Chef, it has taught me much, and has shown me colors, tastes, textures and a good life of eating good food!
