Even though we are sadly reaching the end of our Canadian boating season, I do still get excited about the wonderful Fall finds at the farmers’ market that I can bring onboard for our last few meals… …my latest acquisition – these Baby Boo Pumpkins… …just perfect for concocting a delicious nutritious breakfast fritatta… Keeping with this blog focus, I made this dish in my stove top Omnia Oven and cooked the pumpkin (cut in half and seeds scooped…
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. Some butter, sugar and flour… some seasonings that paired well with cherries… My trusty Omnia stove top oven… and Voilà! Dessert on a boat! CHERRY COBBLER DUMP CAKE 2 cups flour 1 cup sugar 1-1/2 tsp baking powser 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup butter, melted 1 cup milk 1 tsp vanilla…
I’m in my cook once eat a few times mode today because sometimes this Galley Kat would rather just enjoy her morning coffee with no cooking involved. I brought a couple of baggies of the dry ingredients to make this breakfast cake onboard this summer using my Bisquick clone recipe as a base. All I have to do is add the eggs and milk and some fresh fruit. BLUEBERRY BREAKFAST CAKE 2 1/4 cups Bisquick clone mix 1/3 cup…
Time to bring out Galley Kat’s little stove top Omnia oven… I brought the dry ingredients for the cornbread onboard and just added the rest… …25 minutes later… …we enjoyed some yummy cornbread with maple syrup… …kept the Captain well fueled for a relaxed 2-hour sail… …using auto-pilot… STOVE TOP CORNBREAD 1 cup cornmeal 3/4 cup flour 1 tbps sugar 1-1/2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt 2 eggs 6 tbsp melted butter…
While we are waiting for R.E.D. (our boat) to ‘splash’ , I figured I might as well get back to working my way through these 44 Classic French Meals I need to modify for my galley… This next one will be a challenge… Soufflés are tricky in the best of conditions (they can fall) …and we don’t have an oven onboard. So out comes my trusty Omnia Stove Top Oven… #10 CHEESE & CORN SOUFFLÉ 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan…
WHEN EASTER HAS PASSED… All this talk about baked hams and scalloped potatoes has left me craving Easter food. Not those chocolate eggs but the real food of which childhood memories are made. I’m talking about rich creamy scalloped potatoes.. I don’t have my Mom’s recipe but I do remember that she used to also make the best new potatoes in a creamy parsley sauce. So I’m adding parsley. I’m not sure if she added cheese to her sauce –…
No oven…no problem… not when I have my stove top Omnia Oven onboard… Had a hunger for a little something sweet for breakfast this morning… …a little something sweet with some aged cheddar… …not too sweet though, and look at all those yummy blackberries… BLACKBERRY LEMON ‘MUFFIN’ CAKE (‘muffin’ because this is my muffin recipe of course) You can half the recipe to make 12 muffins 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 4 teaspoons baking powder 1 cup…
This next recipe is a standard… classic comfort food… and, of course, an easy fix up for the simplest of galleys… My Mom made it using up leftovers from Sunday’s roast beef dinner. I in turn made it for my kids so my recipe usually included ‘hiding’ lots of veggies in the mix. The classic version uses mainly onions, garlic and sometimes corn. Regardless…add…subtract… the end result is pure tasty memories of childhood…. sometimes called Cottage PIe… sometimes – Shepherd’s…
My bread quest continues… This time a dense nutrient-packed creation… …the batter fits perfectly in the Omnia pan… …Voilà!
