Appetizers
Did you think I had fallen down a rabbit hole? Well I sort of did. We’re in the middle of renovating the main bathroom in our little home by the sea. It’s not very big, this bathroom, but when we take stock of what’s being done, it’s not too unlike building a small home. Tiling, […]
Have you ever heard of the Blenditarian movement? Well then, let me tell you about what it means. A blenditarian is “one who believes the mighty, meaty mushroom makes meals more delicious, nutritious and sustainable.” The Blenditarians have a monthly challenge going on so I created my own submission, a recipe made with spicy local […]
So you’ve been entertaining this month have you? Well, according to July stats you have. Quite heavily in fact in the appetizer category. We have too. With visits from near and far and a spectacular neighbourhood house warming, I’ve been a very busy Galley Kat. Top of the list was this tasty recipe for zucchini […]
I’ve been trying out some recipes for an upcoming guest visit and wanted to prepare something yummy for breakfast or brunch. And foremost, something easy. I don’t want to be spending my time with them cooking all day. I like make ahead dishes but we don’t have a whole lot of room to stash pre-made […]
He’s back! again… I am so loving all of this company in my land galley lately. This time my guy offered to make us his special Pigs in a Blanket. Some sharp cheddar, weiner wraps (found in your dairy section) and this time he thought we should use meat from our fave local butcher. Cavicchi’s […]
Just because I’m not a football fan (oh the shame!) doesn’t mean I can’t offer you something yummy to nosh on during this year’s big game. Just throw meat and all into a big bowl, dive in with both hands (properly washed of course) and squish all of those aromatic ingredients together. Serve warm with […]
I so do miss our happy hours. It seems that lately one day melts into the next and half the time the only sure reference of date we have is what month it is….as the conversation goes: what day is it? I don’t know but I think it’s still September. Our big move is coming […]
Fresh is the name of the game here in the galley today. Our local market just got in some fresh (never before frozen, or soaked in sodium tripolyphosphate) Digby scallops all plump and juicy. Some green tomatoes and farm fresh corn on the cob came together to produce our supper tonight. I was feeling a […]
Missing my land-based Friday happy hours. The one day of the week that was a no-cook zone. I could prepare things in advance but the whole idea was to create a no fuss, easy on the Galley Kat end of the week kind of dinner when we both got home from work. Sometimes I would […]
With all that’s been going on (condo selling and spring boat stuff) we probably haven’t been eating as well as we should. Stopping to pick up some fast food breakfast in the morning so we don’t mess up the kitchen for home showings and frozen pizza for supper (no excuse there., just didn’t feel like […]
