Well this is fun! I put out feelers on my last post to ask my Galley Peeps to challenge me in my teeny tiny kitchen. Calling it my Friends’ Faves series. Barb’s Sweet Potato Soup was a big hit (recipe here). One of my peeps reached out with this awesomely delicious and super easy chicken recipe. Can you re-create this in your stove top oven she asked? Heck yeh! I even went a step further than I usually do and…
Now that we live by the sea and not on the boat for the summer I get to spread out when I cook in our land galley. Spread out AND use more than one pot – a real luxury. Most of the onbaord eating is made ahead then reheated or I enlist the help of ‘he who cooks’ to fire up the back-of-the-boat grill. I also now have a little vegetable garden, a huge step up from my boat…
Time to add a little heat to the galley today. Another chilly rainy day and I have a good book to curl up with. No time to be messing around with time consuming meals. Six chicken thighs and a handful of vegetables, some olives and lemon for a Mediterranean flair and we had a tasty meal in a little over one-half hour. Being the frugal Galley Kat that I am, I shredded the remaining two thighs, dumped them back into…
I wasn’t going to write a blog post about this recipe until Captain gave his review (unbiased of course). It was love at first bite. Sometimes going to that extra effort is worth it to hear the ‘mmmm’s’ and ‘oh-this-is-SO-good’s’ Not that in a traditional galley or land kitchen it would be difficult to put together (basically a cheesed up spiced up white sauce with a chicken filling) but there was the saucepan and the extra bowl to mix the…
This recipe is one of those zero-stress-company’s-coming kind of dinners. We have our condo up for sale and in the midst of making sure everything was clean and neat we also were expecting dinner guests, and on top of that we had scheduled three showings back to back just before guests were to arrive. So I can confirm first hand that this meal was indeed zero-stress-company’s-coming and in spite of everything, was a huge success. Normally I try to have…
Since I didn’t blog as much as usual during our summer trip this year (beginning of our story here), I have a lot of recipes that I feel are still blog-worthy even though we are now back in our land galley for the next few months (insert sad face here). This next one is another ‘bits and pieces’ meal that used some leftover grilled chicken… …a few veggies… …some eggs and cheese… …and was cooked in my treasured…
Quick and dirty is the name for tonight’s supper. Where we are it’s chilly and we’re tired and hungry sailors. I used quick cooking noodles, some tomatoes and velveeta cheese to made a creamy sauce, added some leftover grilled chicken and cooked it on the stove top. Comfort food at its best!

What an interesting journey this is turning out to be! It’s challenging me to create meals within certain parameters all the while staving off boredom. It does take a bit of extra work and for sure planning and prepping seems to be the key. Having a willing, enthusiastic and focused partner has kept me on track. So at the half way point of our Whole 3o Challenge on the menu board for today… Breakfast Prosciutto-Wrapped Mini Meatloaves I simply put…
We just finished up the sixth day of our Whole 30 Challenge and I’m starting to get a little tired of eggs. I know they are an easy to use and inexpensive protein but really, how many ways can we eat these before we have had enough? This was our view this frosty morning and all I could think was wouldn’t a bowl of steamy steel-cut oatmeal with a little cream and brown sugar be perfect? But I resisted and…
I’m doing the leftover thing today. …leftover stuffing. …leftover turkey. …leftover turkey and stuffing thrown together with a little gravy and a side of homemade cranberry sauce (my recipe here) made a very tasty evening meal. …and all made on the stove top. LEFTOVER STUFFING and TURKEY BAKE makes 4 servings (Yay! leftovers from the leftovers!) what you will need 4 cups stuffing 2 cups chopped cooked turkey (or chicken) 6 eggs, lightly beaten cranberry sauce leftover turkey gravy now to…
