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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I have a real mixed bag of most searched for recipes for you this month. Simply click on the caption below each image to access the recipe. Top pick and one of our own favourites too, Greek Lamb Stew. Greek Lamb Stew This Peach Bread Pudding came in at a close second and very timely with fresh local peaches hitting the garden stands […]
Here you go my Galley Peeps, the fifth and final rhubarb recipe…although we can’t seem to get enough of this final one. So rich and dense…not too sweet….the perfect snacking cake. I have a little confession though. Ours wasn’t totally rhubarb. I’ve recently discovered that a vile weed, almost alien-like, that has overtaken part of our garden, is actually edible. Apparently Japanese Knotweed with its […]
Easter dessert this year started with a feed of muffins…all lemony and gingery. Not too sweet. Just right. (Recipe here) Cut into little chunks they made the base for our sweet treat. And the great thing about this dessert was that each component could be enjoyed separately. A little muffin with our morning coffee for example. The crème anglaise, made with Bird’s Custard Powder […]
I’m chanelling my Irish roots today. Some tasty Irish Whiskey Baby Back Ribs (recipe here) are crisping on the grill as I write this and some delicious Colcannon (recipe here) has been prepared ahead and kept warm while I whip up a little deliciousness for dessert But since life is uncertain, we had dessert first. Two whole slices. Shameful but oh so good. So richly […]
You read that right – Sweet Potato Frosting and it was spoon-lickin’ yummy. And just two ingredients. Where else can you marry rich dark chocolate and a vegetable and call it healthy. The muffins also were packed with veggies…and rich dark chocolate…and so moist! Super easy to throw together once all the ingredients were gathered. Dry ingredients all stirred or sifted to make sure there […]
Time for another easy stove-top creation. Now that I have another option to easily clean-up after baking in my little Omnia oven, I pulled out my now treasured silicone insert to make something sweet for dessert. A few simple ingredients including a jar of canned peaches in their own juices and in no time I had a delicious dessert for tonight’s dinner…and an […]
