Still breathing, still kicking, still haven’t killed each other. According to the Whole 30 timeline we are about to hit the ‘Kill all things‘ phase, so I planned our meals with lots of carb-dense veggies to help offset any carbohydrate withdrawl. On Day 3 though there was a moment when I felt a serious PMS session coming on but without the P or the M. At one point, François said: “Leave it to me to find your one last nerve!”…
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.

What can a can of potatoes, a few eggs and a lowly tin of tuna give you? Breakfast for two for two days, that’s what!

What to do with the remaining tomatoes from our neighbour’s community garden? Maybe something warming and comforting? Something to add a little heat to our little cabin on a chilly night. SAVOURY TOMATO COBBLER with CHEESY CORNMEAL BISCUITS (Omnia Stove Top version) 2 pints of cherry tomatoes, halved 1 small onion, peeled, halved and thinly sliced 1 garlic clove, peeled smashed and minced 1 handful of fresh basil leaves, slivered (a few more for garnish) olive oil sea salt and…
Most of the time our onboard meats are grilled on the barbecue. Captain Francois (AKA Captain Cook) is usually the one who ‘mans’ that appliance. But today the weather was rainy, we had taken the barbecue down to mount the full boat enclosure and I had already taken our proposed grilled salmon from our home freezer to marinate. Being the resourceful Galley Kat that I am (or have to be on a boat) I wrapped those sweet juicy jewels of…
Last can of tomatoes… Last onion… My little alcohol stove filled with the last of the fuel… And this Galley Kat has run out of creative ideas… …almost… I made a batch of my Two Ingredient Tomato Sauce for a simple pasta supper tonight… …but being ever conscious of time and stove fuel economy, I doubled the amount of pasta we needed. This gave me about 4 cups of cooked pasta and about 1.5 cups tomato sauce. To the…
Recently when doing some searching for more easy onboard recipes using Jiffy Cornbread, I came across several recipes for Cowboy Casserole. I had made a couple of batches of my own clone mix for making Cornbread (recipe here) to bring onboard so thought, why not make this into a Sailor’s Casserole instead using our Omnia stove-top oven?…afterall, Captain prepared our last two dinners, it’s time for the Galley Kat to pull her weight. Even though it’s a bit rock and roll preparing dinner while under way,…
I honestly don’t know what else to call this…pan release maybe? not Pam because I can’t spray it. The main issue is not what to call it but does it work? Onboard as you by now know, I don’t have an oven but when one is needed I use my little stove-top Omnia Oven. We found it so useful that Captain suggested we have one for land use and one for the boat. The only problem with it is that unless it…
Here is a wonderful reprieve from all my salad recipes. And because this was made in my stove top oven, I wanted to test out a new method of greasing the baking pan with my homemade pan release… If it works well, I’ll post the recipe for GOOP tomorrow… CHEESY CORN TAMALE PIE 1 recipe for Jiffy Cornbread Clone Mix 1/2 cup melted butter 2 eggs, lightly beaten 1 cup plain Greek yogurt 1-12 oz can creamed corn 1-14 oz…
I’m not much for commercially prepared mixes but I do love the convenience of them. Part of my provisioning strategy is to prepare dry packets of our favourite ‘mixes’ so I can just add the liquids. Sometimes to save washing up, I even add the wet ingredients right in the bag. JIFFY CORNBREAD CLONE MIX 1 cup corn meal 1/2 cup all purpose flour 2 tbsp sugar 1 tsp sea salt 1 tbsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda When…
