Yes it is that time of year again, Wow that came fast didn't it, it was just yesterday it was New Years and now we surpassed Groundhog's Day, Puckster failed again and with No surprise to any of us we have six more weeks of this Deep Freeze Crap..:( Oh well, I know we don't like it but since we weren't in the Super Bowl play offs, and maybe you spent the whole day watching the game with your buds, or whatever,,,, how about surprising your Biggest Fan and order something sweet for Your Sweets? I know anyone Loves Cheesecake, or Chocolate something, but having a made specialty for her or him by a Personal Chef who cares as much about everything that comes from her kitchens to yours you will be her or his all time biggest Favorite Pick of the Season.. So you know what to do call The Diva and ask for Miss Gianna she will make you look very good Promise.... :) Because this pick is a Fan Favorite.....

Excerpts reprinted by Divadish Personal Chef Services


What is the number one thing I can do to prevent diabetes?

Avoid WHITE!!!! Meaning white salt, white sugar,white flour. White flour is particularly offensive because it contains a compound known to harm the pancreas- the very gland you need for a healthy blood sugar balance because it secretes Insulin!

Meat with a side of T Bone Steak?

January 5, 2014


Brandy Seared T Bone Steak

Divadish Loves good meat and preferably fixed Med-Rare, Yum.... Good organic farmed raised Beef can be eaten a little rare because it is so sweet and soft anyway because of how the cattle are being fed and grazed, it does make a BIG DIFFERENCE, just ask a cattleman or a qualified butcher. A Great meal starts with Great Meat! So when my daughter asks for Meat with a side of Meat I know what she feels like.. it is usually a steak... What else. ?!

Maybe it is the Vampire...
