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, electrical, plumbing, some drywall, painting, wall papering, all new fixtures and decor bits. I’m not sure why it has interfered with blogging really because my…
When I first made this recipe, we were on the boat and I kind of just dumped everything into the pan, plunked the cheese on top and cooked it in my Omnia stove top oven. It was delicious but not terribly pretty. Notice how I tried to dress it up with a little basil? It did the trick as far as a healthy, easy and tasty boat dish but we are expecting more visitors soon at our little home by…
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 meals. This recipe fits perfectly. I can make it fresh with little effort with ingredients that I can have on hand. Some cheese, tomatoes and…
It’s surprising to me sometimes what you folks are looking for when you search for Galley Kat recipes. Sometimes if runs the line of special holidays as it did last month. Lots and lots of Irish/Saint Patrick’s Day hits. And I shouldn’t be surprised at the delicious Easter Trifle because, well, it was Easter and it is a truly easy dessert. But why Batsaria received almost as many search hits as the trifle was a stunner. Don’t get me wrong….
I’ve been trying to become better organized in the galley these days. It’s far too easy for me to get side tracked by yet another tasty something or other to try out. It’s why for a brief time I subscribed to home delivery meals…all nicely packaged with just enough for the two of us…no leftovers…so extra bits and pieces to be stored in the refrigerator either waiting to be used for another recipe or walking itself into the garbage at…
To the ‘easy’ I should add versatile for this next recipe. I first made them spread on parchement paper on a sheet pan in our land oven. Using a cookie cutter made them the perfect size to top a toasted English muffin. You tried my recipe for those didn’t you? No? Well hop to it…recipe link here As I now believe almost anything cooked in a conventional oven is possible in the Omnia Stove Top oven, why couldn’t these? So…
Chilly rainy days mean cooked breakfast aboard R.E.D. I had some fresh greens, peppers and farm eggs just begging to be turned into something belly warming. The greens I used were a mix of baby kale and arugula which gave a more crispy result. Small chopped spinach leaves work well too. Choose your peppers wisely if using the Omnia stove top oven. They should be small enough to sit as flat as possible. Also, when cutting them try to…
This little breakfast treat was surprisingly easy. I stumbled onto the idea while reading an article about the sous vide method of cooking and wondered why I couldn’t recreate these in my stove top Omnia oven. The water bath method takes one hour of cooking time and since cooking fuel/electricity is at a premium on the boat I thought that surely I can cut that time in half. I laid all my ingredients out on the counter, whipped up…
Really excited about this post today, Galley Peeps! I have a new recipe to try out in my Omnia stove top oven and a new galley toy to play with. I recently learned about this barbecue thermometer from someone on a social media group that I follow. It’s probe fits perfectly into the lid of the Omnia to monitor the ambiant temperature inside the cook pan. Up to now I’ve had to guess at what temperature to set the stove…
It’s surprising how little effort it takes to throw together something special for a Boxing Day breakfast or brunch. With the help of some Christmas gnome magic and all the flavours that speak of the season this creamy concoction was ready in no time. For the purpose of boat galley cooking it was made in my stove top Omnia oven but in a conventional oven it’s cooked in a cast iron skillet. It puffed up beautifully (thankfully that’s as far…
