Good day my Galley folks. While this COVID thing has meant outing restrictions, I’ve focused my energies on simplifying my already simple life even further. This combined with my dislike of commercial mixes had me coming up with a plan for a make-ahead treat. Today in my little land galley, I’m mixing up a batch of chocolatey brownies. Before I go any further, a word about mixes. I follow a lot of blogs of you folks on boats, in campers…
Hello folks! How are things in your neck of the woods? Here on the east coast nothing much has changed as the dreaded virus is still amongst us…although in smaller numbers than in the rest of the world. We recently celebrated our Canadian Thanksgiving…still thankful for so many reasons in spite gathering restrictions. Since it was just the two of us, I dug out my favourite recipe for slow cooker turkey breast. It’s a great way to get that traditional…
In the mood for some Fall baking? I hope so, because I have a good one for you this week. This recipe was sent in by one of my Galley Kat readers who thought it just might be perfect to try out in the Omnia stove top oven. And she was right. Sometimes it’s hard to tell if there will be too much batter to fit into the baking pan, but this one was a perfect fit. When I licked…
Continuing on with simplifying my life in the kitchen/galley, I have a super fun recipe for you this week. Those who have been following along for a while, know how much I dislike commercial preparations, preferring instead to make my own whenever possible and practical. Growing up in a small farming community with a father who always preached ‘the closer to nature, the better’ and in a time when convenience foods were just becoming popular, we ate mostly locally grown…
This cake is so rich. So sweet. So very share-worthy. So what would possess me to make a whole cake when the very last thing I can do during this COVID crisis is share, I had to ask myself? Oh well! The next best thing I can do is eat the whole thing and share it’s yumminess with all of you virtually. I made a couple of substitutions to Brit’s original recipe. Coconut oil stood in for neutral cooking oil…
Follow my blog with Bloglovin Happy March to you all, Galley Peeps. For most of us in the northern parts of the world it’s a month we all look forward to, regardless if we’ve had our last snow fall or not. We know that gradually those dark winter days will turn into days that are longer and longer, warmer and warmer. Several birthdays to celebrate including my own this month…I try to pretend it doesn’t exist but it seems to…
This feels like a celebration and I have been saving today’s post for just this special occasion. Omnia…you know those genius stove top oven folks?…well, they sent me one of their new products to try out. The Muffin Ring…I’ve just finished using it for the first time and I absolutely LOVE it! The design is really very smart. Silicone construction, which makes clean up a breeze, and the six muffin wells collapse which allow for easy storage inside the baking…
What perfect timing for this next Friends’ Faves recipe. Here on the east coast, temps have started dropping and I have so many green tomatoes that will never ripen in their current place on the vines. Entering onto my galley scene – Green Tomato Loaf. If you want some point of reference the results are similar to zucchini cake….all moisty and tasty. The perfect touch of sweetness with a cup of coffee or tea. Or gussy it up with a…
No lengthy write-up for this post this time, Galley Peeps. Just to say that my Mom used to make these cookies every year around Christmas time. She made a lot of delicious sweets…at lot! These aren’t by far the fanciest of Mom’s but I can bring back those special memories just by biting into one…all short bread and buttery with a little crunch of corn flakes and if you eat them just right…sort of circular…you can get a taste of…
Our apple trees at R.E.D. by the Sea are finished for the season but there are still lots and lots of great Annapolis Valley apples here in Nova Scotia ready for the picking. So, with guests visiting in the next few days this Galley Kat has been busy…I repeat…busy! ….preparing goodies to welcome them to our little home by the sea. This recipe is not for the diet conscious…I mean, butter and sugar and that’s just the caramel base. Then…
