Appetizers
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 […]
I made these delicious little morsels for a recent cocktail-with-friends evening. SO GOOD!…and so easy! I was so caught up in the preparations that I totally forgot to take more pictures. Maybe one was all I needed. Look at those succulent pink creatures bubbling in that tasty beer butter sauce. I made them in advance […]
What to do with all that leftover holiday cheese? Make a dip! Add some greens, seasonings and a can of artichokes and voilà, dinner is served. Anyway for us tonight it’s dinner with all the main components: protein, veggies with a side of bread and crackers. It made the perfect I-don’t-really-feel-like-cooking lap picnic. When we are […]
This is the second of two new recipes I wanted to try out for an upcoming cocktail party. I was really encouraged with the first one – little Croque Monsieur bites. It was so good I ended up making full-sized Croque Monsieur that night for dinner. Smoked Salmon Croque Monsieur recipe here This next one, […]
“OH MON DIEU!”…translated….”of all things holy, this was one amazingly delicious sandwich”…and one worthy of bumping all my scheduled posts to have it published today. I am in the midst of preparing a menu for an upcoming cocktail gathering. Just a simple casual affair to bring together a small group of friends for some bubbly, […]
