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…
Today’s recipe is a little weird, even for me. I’m not vegetarian and certainly not vegan. I do like meat from time to time and now that we are living on the east coast am loving the abundance of fresh fish and seafood sometimes literally at our back door. But I’m really intrigued by some nutirent-rich plant-based dishes. I feel it’s good to learn more about how other healthy people prepare their meals and about the ingredient selection they make….
At the beginning of each boating season I buy a big container of dried wild mushrooms. They’re easy to re-hydrate for so many delicious meals. I also grind them to add richness to sauces. Look at those rich beefy looking babies. They’ve been soaking in water all day even though it usually takes about 15 minutes to re-hydrate. And all deep brown broth is so good saved for sauces, gravies or soups. Please don’t toss it. If someone told me…
