Cheese
Now that we’ve moved back to Nova Scotia my son Luke gets to visit us more often. And he’s such a great helper, always asking what he can do to assist. One weekend he spent the time putting together some shelves so I could organize our wee place a bit better. Another time he spent […]
I love kugel, especially the savoury kind. Well, in truth I love anything with pasta and cheese. It’s the ultimate comfort food especially welcomed now that we are heading into some chilly days. I call it my hibernation food. This next recipe was made to be a complete meal with spinach and mushrooms and lots […]
I wasn’t going to write a blog post about this recipe until Captain gave his review (unbiased of course). It was love at first bite. Sometimes going to that extra effort is worth it to hear the ‘mmmm’s’ and ‘oh-this-is-SO-good’s’ Not that in a traditional galley or land kitchen it would be difficult to put […]
I can’t get enough of fresh market tomatoes. Ripe plump so juicy and sweet they make the perfect back drop to any summer meal. Tonight I made this super delicious salad alla caprese style but with the addition of pasta. Any pasta will do but fettuccini was what I had on hand (broken into 2-3″ […]
Want an easy side dish for your supper tonight? These stuffed mushrooms were super simple to throw together and very tasty . I can even see them made with smaller mushrooms served as an appetizer. I made six for the two of us but the filling could easily have been enough for eight mushrooms. […]
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 […]
This next recipe was created for a recent recipe competition and I must say I was very pleased with the results. It’s not fancy but it would definitely make the perfect addition to a holiday buffet. It’s economical to make, healthy and super easy. For you land-based Galley Peeps, break out your bundt pan, throw […]

Let’s make things perfectly clear, I am not (at least for the foreseeable future) not vegan. Captain and I love meat, eggs, oh and the cheese!, fish, seafood…. …most things edible with a face and a mother. …sadly the list of what we love to eat is endless, and what we don’t like? ..nothing comes […]
I try to keep a small supply of these little rounds of Brie and Camembert onboard because they don’t require refrigeration until opened. Just check the expiry date, discard the box marking each sealed round with the date and type of cheese. Add some crackers or crusty bread, some olives and dried fruit or nuts […]
