Since we’ve been doing so much outdoor work in the garden lately, I haven’t been keeping up with supplying our land galley. Funny really how I still provision like we are still onboard. Cans of this and that. Lots of grains. Plus more and more we’ve run into friends and some family members who are either cutting back on carbs or for health reasons can’t tolerate gluten. So I’ve been compiling a few recipes from time to time to…
Here you go my Galley Peeps, the fifth and final rhubarb recipe…although we can’t seem to get enough of this final one. So rich and dense…not too sweet….the perfect snacking cake. I have a little confession though. Ours wasn’t totally rhubarb. I’ve recently discovered that a vile weed, almost alien-like, that has overtaken part of our garden, is actually edible. Apparently Japanese Knotweed with its nasty invasive root system is almost impossible to eradicate so I’ve decide to embrace my…
Since the overwhleming success of the Rhubarb Cocktail (find the recipe here. If you haven’t already tried it…you MUST), I’ve been in love with the rhubarb/lime/ginger combo. So I took one of my favourite Galley Kat muffin recipes Lemon Ginger Muffins (recipe here) and transformed it into the ideal tea-time treat. The perfect combination of tart rhubarb, a hint of lime and the bite of ginger. This recipe works equally well for the Omnia stove top oven as it does…
Oh how far I’ve come from my early stove top cooking days! My treasured Omnia stove top oven has been with us from the beginning of our boat obsession…now heading into our sixth season. I must admit some of my first attempts were a bit rough but hey, it’s boat life…camping on the water. We don’t need fancy. My previous effort at providing sweet treats without an oven onboard – cookie dough stuffed into baking cups. Recipe here It’s…
It’s surprising to me sometimes what you folks are looking for when you search for Galley Kat recipes. Sometimes if runs the line of special holidays as it did last month. Lots and lots of Irish/Saint Patrick’s Day hits. And I shouldn’t be surprised at the delicious Easter Trifle because, well, it was Easter and it is a truly easy dessert. But why Batsaria received almost as many search hits as the trifle was a stunner. Don’t get me wrong….
I’ve been trying to become better organized in the galley these days. It’s far too easy for me to get side tracked by yet another tasty something or other to try out. It’s why for a brief time I subscribed to home delivery meals…all nicely packaged with just enough for the two of us…no leftovers…so extra bits and pieces to be stored in the refrigerator either waiting to be used for another recipe or walking itself into the garbage at…
We came back from a recent visit to the doctor with orders for one of us (no names will be mentioned) to cut back on white potatoes, white bread, white rice and pasta. A 25% cut back he said. So this Galley Kat got to searching through the recipe data base, the pantry and refrigerator to find options for tonight’s supper. Well!!! Do I ever have a good one to share with you, my Peeps! I found half a cabbage…
So why am I still baking in a stove top oven when I have a perfectly good land galley oven to use you might ask? I don’t honestly know, except that it’s so darned easy. It doesn’t take any longer than a conventional oven. Clean up is about the same amount of effort and I love the economy of not heating an entire appliance for a dozen little muffins. I guess it might still seem strange to you house bound ‘dirt…
To the ‘easy’ I should add versatile for this next recipe. I first made them spread on parchement paper on a sheet pan in our land oven. Using a cookie cutter made them the perfect size to top a toasted English muffin. You tried my recipe for those didn’t you? No? Well hop to it…recipe link here As I now believe almost anything cooked in a conventional oven is possible in the Omnia Stove Top oven, why couldn’t these? So…
He’s back! again… I am so loving all of this company in my land galley lately. This time my guy offered to make us his special Pigs in a Blanket. Some sharp cheddar, weiner wraps (found in your dairy section) and this time he thought we should use meat from our fave local butcher. Cavicchi’s makes the best sausage bites, little meatballs, gluten free with the perfect blend of spices. This time, mild Italian. To keep with the simple-no-oven-in-my-galley focus…
