Looking forward to a more open travel summer this year, I’ve been focusing on recipes for easy take-alongs. My last post MAKE AHEAD FREEZER OATMEAL COOKIES continues to be a big hit. And I expect this may be as well. When I’ve been on the road or out on the water all day, the last thing I feel like doing is cook…which gave way to this […]
Hi there Galley folks. As we head into the colder days, I’ve been taking stock of some basics in my little land kitchen. I’m not a big fan of frequent shopping trips especially looking ahead to some nasty wintery days when I would much rather be curling up with a good book or binge watching some seasonal faves. Today’s recipe is one of those great […]
Comfort food in a jar is what F calls this. It was a rather chilly rainy time in the camper. We had to fire up the heater to take all the humidity from the air it was so damp. The day was spent mostly indoors….that day I made my Soldier Cookies, remember? Well, I had a little two-cup jar of Hamburger Helper mix that I […]
Hi there folks. I realize that I’ve been a wee bit absent lately. I get that way sometimes, feeling my inspiration lacking but every time I start thinking about spring and what form it might take – specifically, picking up our little land trawler, RED II camper extrordinaire – I get motivated. Planning is my thing and at the moment I’m making lists of what […]
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 […]
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 […]
Here’s a tasty one for you Galley Peeps. It was inspired by one of our home delivery plant-based meals. A simple risotto with a Tex Mex flair. You’ve probably noticed that I’m big on making my own spice mixes. For one thing, in my tiny galley there’s precious little space for a gazillion spice containers. And we do love our Mexican type foods so this […]
I have a super easy and quick two for one recipe post for you today, my Galley Peeps. In truth it’s actually three because I added my recipe for gravy mix which comes in handy if you don’t have real chicken stock on hand. Now that we are off-season country dwellers, I have become very conscious of supporting local enterprises. My latest find is ordering […]
Finding ways to improve conveniences in our tiny galley is always welcomed and this next recipe is simply brilliant in its simplicity. We love grilled cheese. We enjoy them often. They are easy to throw together, tasty, satisfying and depending what you serve with them or add to them, a complete meal. So what if I tell you that you can make grilled cheese even […]
We were recently gifted with some tuna from our sailing/fishing friends and wanted to put together something worthy of their generosity. In my search, I landed on what looked like a winner from The Domestic Man. Simple, very quick to prepare and cook, plus I was introduced to a new-to-me seasoning, Furikake, a combination of sesame seeds and nori seaweed. Well, I thought to myself, […]
