My Happy New Year greeting is a little late, I know. Stuff seems to always get in the way and before I realize it another month has passed.

So why am I still baking in a stove top oven when I have a perfectly good land galley oven to use you might ask? I don’t honestly know, except that it’s so darned easy. It doesn’t take any longer than a conventional oven. Clean up is about the same amount of effort and I love the economy of not heating an entire appliance for […]
What goes better with holiday festivities than a pretty cocktail. Changing out the usual orange juice with cranberry juice adds that little extra something for your next brunch gathering.

Pomegranate Ginger Fizz adapted from Will Cook for Friends Sparkling Cranberry Quencher adapted from Sandra Lee at the Food Network Galley Kat Note For this occasion I made just one of each to see which of the two my Captain preferred He preferred this the Cranberry Sparkler… …refreshing and less sweet… […]
Sometimes we like to have a simple sandwich and soup for supper, and because we are also cutting back on animal protein, I have been compiling quite a good collection of vegetarian recipes. The following was what I prepared for our ‘meatless Monday’ meal this week… Cranberry Walnut Chickpea Salad Sandwich 1 cans (15oz) garbanzo beans (chickpeas) drained and rinsed 1/2 celery […]
Now for something seasonal… I’m thinking apples…cranberries… I don’t eat desserts often… I try as best I can to avoid a lot of sugar in my diet… But it is nice sometimes to have a taste of something sweet after dinner Or as an afternoon snack.
