Beach Eats - A Dangerous Combination of Dieting and Mascara - is written by The Diva on a Diet. The Diva is committed to living well with an eye toward health. Her blog explores all things delicious and when her tongue isn't wrapped around something chocolate-y, its firmly embedded in her cheek!
I don't know about you, but when the weather is this hot and muggy, my interest in eating is limited ... and my interest in cooking is almost non-existent. It helps to have a few quick go-to summer meals that satisfy yet require little effort in ter (read full article)
My word, there's an awful lot of chocolate going on here lately ... and I'm not even PMS, I swear it. Clearly, I need to step away from the coco bean and present something else before someone calls the authorities. On the menu today: eggplant rollat (read full article)

It sounds strange for me to say this, but in my 25 years of cooking, I've never made a roast beef dish. Pot roast, stews and beefy soups are always on the menu, Chez Diva - but an actual roast beef? Nope. Never. Not even once. Weird, huh?Or maybe n (read full article)
Obviously I didn't cook Tangled Noodle, or any noodles for that matter. Rather, I'm embarking on a new feature today - from time to time I'll be cooking the food of other bloggers and posting about it here. Let's face it, we all run across dozens o (read full article)
At first glance, this post is going to look like it won't be of much use to you - especially if you don't have any leftover pork stuffing hanging around. And though I'll include a recipe, its not really about the recipe. Its about using what you've (read full article)
As the country's largest and most important eating holiday begins to loom, its likely that my posts here will become somewhat irregular. I'm trying to get both my guest list and my menu in order. Making lists, laying in supplies, digging out cherish (read full article)
Greetings, poor neglected bloglet! Its been a very busy week in Divaland, hence I'm woefully behind in posting, reading, commenting and email. Le sigh. I expect things will finally ease up towards the end of the week - though I will be out of pock (read full article)

When I finally write my Divalicious Guide to Entertaining, it will be entitled: "Only an Idiot Hosts a Dinner Party in August." Or, perhaps more cheerfully: "Only an Optimist Hosts a Dinner Party in August." Turns out I'm a little bit of both.I did (read full article)
