A very long day, our weekend guests had just left and I really didn’t feel like turning around and making supper. Where’s my glass of wine and foot stool? I’ll just sit here while someone cooks. No offers? No, don’t get up, I take care of it (me walking toward the kitchen). This will have to be a ‘shop my pantry’ meal. I found one head of broccoli in the refrigerator wanting some attention. There was also a can of…
The discussion we have every year around Christmas time is ‘to stuff’ or ‘not stuff’….the turkey…not our bellies. Stuffing the bird means a wonderfully flavourful result with all those juices infused into the bread crumbs but cooking is longer to make sure you don’t kill your guests and in my opinion, it tends to over-cook the turkey. So this year the decision has been made to ‘not stuff’. Give a cheer for getting one thing made ahead! All the…
I’m the cuckoo bird of the recipe development world. My recipes are for the most part those of what others have created and adapted to fit in with our simple spartan boat galley world. I will always give credit to the originator when possible though. Every once in a blue moon however I do hit one out of the park all by myself. This is one of those occasions. After several weeks of trying out plant-based meal delivery I’ve gained…

LEMONY MUSHROOM SPINACH LINGUINE Print Author: Galley Kat Serves: 2 servings Ingredients 1 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp butter 4 generous cups sliced mushrooms 2 cloves garlic, minced 1…
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 of dairy for protein. I baked it no-oven-galley-style in my stove top Omnia but for you land folks it easily transforms to a more traditional…
Welcome to another creation for your next Meatless Monday, Galley Peeps. It’s full of tasty mushroom morsels and nutty toothy texture all densely packed into one savoury loaf. I had some leftover wild and brown rice that I had cooked in the pressure cooker the other day so threw that in for extra oomph. And now that we are back on land for the next few months I have a little more space to keep pots of fresh herbs so…
I have a tasty dish for your Meatless Monday, Galley Peeps. It took next to no time in the pressure cooker. Or for those of you lucky enough to own an Instant Pot, you will barely have time to set the table. This recipe is great on days when you don’t have a lot of time to cook but want something hearty to fill your belly. It makes a generous 4 servings, keeps well refrigerated for 5 days and freezes…
My guy likes pretty much everything I make. He never complains about my frequent dalliance into the vegetarian, vegan world although I know he loves meaty dishes. But when I get an unsolicited comment like ‘this one’s a keeper Kathy’, I sit up and take notice. The flavours in this Mediterranean inspired dish are wonderful, the crispy fried onion the perfect complement and I think we have found a new favourite comfort food. If you are lucky enough to have…
If you are, as we are, trying to cut back on animal protein, I have a great recipe for you. I made the base of it intending on making burgers All mixed together mostly with onhand ingredients, it’s such a treat for us onboard our little boat, in our little galley (I do mean little) to be able to put together a healthy meal without having to go to market for fresh things. I call it shopping my pantry. The…
Here I am with another yummy fresh tomato recipe. This time I baked them topped with Halloumi cheese in my little Omnia stove top oven. I suppose I could have made it a one pot wonder but tonight I was feeling cavalier and used a saucepan to simmer the tomato mixture. Two pots to clean up – oh what a reckless Galley Kat I am! My galley cookware takes so little cleaning up that it was worth using. Once the…
