Captain Francois’ comment about tonight’s supper: “If this is vegetarian, you can make it for me anytime!” Healthy, meatless and really easy to throw together, I made it stove-top in my Omnia Oven. A little sautéing, a splash of wine and some seasonings. The addition of some greens, then packed into a baking dish, topped with potatoes and in just a few minutes it was […]
I had some leftover grains and grilled chicken from a recent dinner and had a real craving for some warming rich soup. Imagine! It’s mid-May and there have been ‘risk of frost’ warnings and evenings onboard our little water home have been very chilly. Very pleased with the results of this belly-warming soup though… CREAMY LEMONY CHICKEN and WILD GRAIN SOUP 4 servings what you […]
How about a little beer for breakfast? No really, I’m serious. In search of new and easy recipes for this summer’s adventures aboard s/v R.E.D., I came across this popular Danish breakfast dish.

Or for us folks on boats who don’t always have access to the fresh things, you can use bottled roasted peppers and Gourmet Garden parsley and garlic. Garlic is very easy to store onboard […]
I returned recently from a trip to the East coast and found not a whole lot of options in the galley for dinner. One can of corn niblets and an avocado presented themselves for the perfect vegetarian dinner. And I had enough little fritters left over for a quick re-heated breakfast the next day. What a resourceful Galley Kat! …but in truth, a very lazy […]
This was one of those ‘super-suppers-at-anchor’ kind of meals. A chilly damp day, lots of boat work and two very hungry sailors in need of a hearty dinner. It was also collaborative – my fave way of cooking, sharing the work. Captain ‘manned’ the grill (steak and potatoes) while I did some serious damage down in the galley (gettin’ the mushrooms drunk). Anyway, it was […]
” A lemon a day…and rum…keeps the scurvy at bay” This is a day to be aware of scurvy, the disease that afflicted many a sailor on long voyages pre-18th century because of poor diet and Vitamin C deficiencies. So this 2nd day of May 2016, we, the good respectful sailors that we are, remember those poor souls by adding a dose of lemon to […]
