Remember the 70's TV show The Bionic Woman? I use to love that show. Watching a smart, savvy and strong woman take on the bad guys and win was awesome. I had all the toys; the doll, her blow up house (that took all Christmas Morning to inflate), her bionic station, the outfits....EVERYTHING. I wanted to be the bionic woman. Yet, I was only a little girl that hadn't experienced tough life occurrences. I only saw the end product. The bionic woman kicking butt and taking names. But who was Jamie Summers before her bionic prowess? How did she get ...

Get the most out of your holiday budget. A Working Divas has to be savvy when it comes to holiday shopping.
1. Create A Holiday Shopping Budget And Stick With It.
First look at your overall budget to determine what you can and are willing to spend this holiday season. Remember that time is tough for many people, so it’s okay to not spend a lot of money this year. Be realistic. Next, sit down with your family and make a list of everyone you are going to buy gift for. Next to their name, write an amount you are going to spend on them.
To you and your from us at the Working Divas Blog.
Thank you for your support and love. We wouldn’t be here without you.

I’m ready to jump in and start baking Gingerbread Men for my little one. After researching recipes and their online comments. Some of the comments left on recipe sites are brutal, but I love the honesty. This saves us from using a recipe that doesn’t cut it. I’m figuring…you can’t go wrong with Paula Dean. This is her recipe for Gingerbread Boys and Girls found on the Food Network website. From reading the comments many say not to use as much floor. So I’m only using 2 3/4 cups instead. I’ll let you know how ours turn out. Before you get started check out 10 Tips for making Gingerbread. Happy baking!
Every year my Herb-Roasted turkey is a hit with family and friends. I saw this method while watching the Food Network over a friends house a few days before Thanksgiving one year. Now, both of us make our turkey’s the same every year. We call each other to remind the other of certain herbs or how we have added our own spin on it.
This is the basic recipe I’ve found to share with you. Your turkey will come out full of favor and moist.
I don’t know why…but I’m on this cranberry kick. For the past few months I’ve been cooking with dried cranberries and my family loves it. One of our favorite restaurants, The Village Grill near Fort Lauderdale has this wonderful salad. It’s a mixture of greens, dried cranberries, granny smith apples and Gorgonzola cheese. It’s simply delicious. Every since I’ve tried it I’ve been hooked. Now that we are in the holiday season I wanted to prepare a dish with cranberries. As I was flipping through a magazine, the name escapes me, I saw this picture of green beans, cranberries and almonds. What a dazzling combination! I found a this recipe online which I’m going to try with my family. Spicy up your green beans for Thanksgiving Working Diva Style. ENJOY!
Ever since I read my little one the story about the Gingerbread Man he wants to make his own. So…mommy to the rescue. I think he believes his gingerbread man will jump out of the stove like in the story. Hopefully eating his own will suffice. During my search for the perfect gingerbread recipe; I came across these tips for making gingerbread. Before you pull out your baking sheets and mixing bowels check out these tips for the perfect holiday baking. You’ll make grandma proud.
