“OLD SCHOOL COOKING FOR THE MODERN SUPER WOMAN”
Are You Ready To Throw Down In The Kitchen?
Welcome to Divas Can Cook- a blog that will show you how to whip up some flavorful, slap-yo-mama (and get slapped right back) dishes all from scratch!! This site is dedicated to helping you look totally bad ass in the kitchen, even if you’ve never cooked a day in your fabulous life. So pull out that pen and paper sista (and brotha), class is in session!!!
Hi there! My name is Monique and I’m a full-time wife, mommy, blogger and business owner who loves to EAT…oh and cooking is cool too. : ) I’ve been cooking since I was a little diva, learning tried and true, award-winning recipes passed down from my grandmothers, mother, slew of aunts, uncles, cousins, play cousins….you get the point right?
I created this site for many reasons:
1.) I got tired of my family & friends calling me for recipes. I can’t tell you how sick and tired I am of answering the phone and hearing “Hey. What’s mama’s yeast roll recipe?”
2.) I wanted a place to store all of my favorite, tried & true recipes. One day the recipes on this blog will be a beautifully printed and arranged wedding gift to my daughter or daughter-in-law.
3.) I got tired of people saying “what? yeah right, you can’t cook!” or putting me on “fruit cutting duty” the minute I happily sashay into the kitchen and ask “how can I help?”
4.) I wanted to share my easy recipes and love for cooking with others. I love that old school style of cooking, it’s the best in the world! But sometimes the recipes can be unnecessarily complicated which leaves many people just “leaving it to grandma”. I like to think I simplify those recipes without losing that soulful taste. A good , tried and true recipe can be one of the best gifts ever. I’m over the moon when I get an email saying “that turkey was the talk of my Thanksgiving dinner!” or “my husband said I made the best red velvet cake he’s ever had!” or “I was never taught how to cook, so I’ve been learning from you. Thank you.” Pass the kleenex honey!! Yall sure know how to get to a broad.
All-in-all cooking is a skill that every woman should have in her “bag of tricks”. I hope my tried & true, step-by-step recipes will help you get started on whipping up some tasty homemade meals that will impress the best. Ok now don’t just sit there looking all pretty, grab a recipe and get ta’cookin!!!
