I love all my galley gear, especially my little Omnia stove top oven. Even though our boat is out of the water for this season, I still use it in our land galley. And because of our recent packin-up-and-movin-out, it’s been the one appliance I haven’t packed. Our land oven was scrubbedd clean for the future owner so it became a no cook zone before moving out of our condo (catch up with that story here) With apples in season,…
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 chocolatey. So moist. I’ve had this recipe stashed in my database for a long time…
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.

Dry ingredients all stirred or sifted to make sure there were no lumps, then the wet stuff was folded into the dry. Lastly I folded…
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 evening snack…and tomorrow’s breakfast…and on and on and on and on… What can I say….
My sister made shortcake biscuits for me years ago. They were so moist, so fluffy, so good. I haven’t made them in years because we rarely eat dessert but what a treat they were, biscuits cooked in my little stove top oven, fresh fruit drizzled with lime juice and maple syrup, cream whipped to soft peaks. The original recipe is made with Bisquick but I bring my own clone mix onboard (recipe here) Now that I have the rack for…
Now that my Omnia oven is all washed up from our Italian Easter Pie I can make a little Easter dessert for you. …and for Captain François of course. Ahh the limitations of boating life… not a lot of space and most of us, even on special holidays, would rather be out of the cabin enjoying the fine weather and sunshine.

It has been a while since I made a dessert onboard R.E.D. but there was a can of bing cherries just begging to be used for something sweet.
