Hello to you my Galley Friends. Here’s my situation. I’ve been invited to a friend’s place for bison burgers…a friend from Alberta who is a consummate carnivore. A bit of back story…we treated him a while ago to some water buffalo burgers (I made Juicy Lucys) and he wanted to return the favour. I offered to bring a side dish. Offer accepted. Then I thought maybe I could bring some dessert too so I offered peach pie because, thanks to…
A long time ago I ran across an article entitled ‘44 Classic French Meals You Need to Try Before You Die’ so I jumped right in to tackle the list, modifying each one for easier boat galley cooking. Please feel free to scroll through what I was able to accomplish aboard our little 26 foot sailboat with a one-burner alcohol burning stove, a hand pump sink and precious little counter space. You can find them here: 44 Classic French Meals….
Hello there my Galley Folks. Nice of you to drop by today. During a recent camping trip I scored this awesomely delicious recipe from a family friend. She brought some grilled chicken as her contribution to our shared meal one night and it was so good and so juicy. The trick she said was a good long marinade time. She had prepared it ahead, brought it chilled and served it with a crisp salad, making it the perfect addition to…
Comfort food in a jar is what F calls this. It was a rather chilly rainy time in the camper. We had to fire up the heater to take all the humidity from the air it was so damp. The day was spent mostly indoors….that day I made my Soldier Cookies, remember? Well, I had a little two-cup jar of Hamburger Helper mix that I made up a while ago just for such an occasion. Within minutes we had dinner…
Hi there Galley folks. I thought you might like this great cookie recipe to add to your ‘easy stuff’ repertoire. We have a couple of things happening this week that requires a sweet treat to have on hand…not that I need an occasion for sweet treats..haha! We’ve been invited to a friend’s place for coffee…always an occasion to bake up a little host gift….plus we’re off on a family cabin camping weekend. Kids and grandkids alike will be expecting Gramma…
Rainy day in the camper so the perfect time for indoor games. I’ve been wanting to try out this recipe for vegan sausages…a bit more effort and time than I would usually take….so why not today? And I’m doing it off-grid-ish. The original recipe requires a food processor so am using my little hand powered processor. Takes up so little space. Not a lot of cleaning up either. A small can of pinto beans was the main ingredient. Some ground…
Hi there my Galley Friends. I have a fun trick for you today that will make your nomadic-tiny-living-rv’ing-camping-off-grid existence so much easier. Now if I described this as dessert from a can, a jar or a bag, what would you think? EEW right? But that’s what it is really. I used to make up little zip baggies of the topping and bring it with us on our boating trips. They take up so little room and keep well. Small tins…
Now that we are ‘almost’ into summer camping I’ve been putting together some easy cooking options for taking on the road. This recipe came from a Friend’s Fave submission and it makes the perfect addition to grilling season. I mixed a small mason jar full to store in our camper pantry and cooked up some very tasty chicken today. So far I’ve tried it with fish (oh my…coat, flip and done to perfection in minutes), pork chops, and even used…
Hi there my galley friends. Do I ever have an easy one for you to try today. Well yes, mac and cheese if already a simple and go to standard but what if I told you it could be ready in as little as ten minutes and at least half of that time is hands off cooking. That’s right, three minutes in the pressure cooker and your creamy cheesy pot of comfort is three-quarters complete. I also have added a…
On a roll my Galley friends. Two blog posts in two weeks. I think my deep blue funk is now a thing of the past. Spring weather has a lot to do with it I’m sure…plus we recently de-winterized our little land trawler, RED II and spent the weekend aboard. We are in lock down because of a nasty out-break of COVID in our east coast province and my daughter wanted a place to space-out (read all about it here),…
