Good day to you my Galley friends. I hope you are all in fine spirits and good health….and of course ready for some summer time cookin’. Nothing says summer dining than potato salad. Serve it warm. Serve it cold. Perfect side for back yard grilling, camping or picnicking. Make it creamy or vinegary. It’s all good. Everyone seems to have their favourite but this one […]
Good day to you my Galley friends. For your reading/culinary/camping/RVing/boating pleasure, I have a very easy dinner idea for you. These are a complete meal in one shot. Quick to throw together and the big bonus is so little clean up. Some foil. Tasty meatballs. Veggies and some seasoning. That’s it. Cooking time enough to make sure your meat is cooked through (160 deg), vegetables […]
Hello there Galley Peeps. Glad you stopped by today because, while going through some of my Friend’s Fave recipe submissions, I came across one from a French follower. Written in French too. My French guy said he had never heard of a Tartiflette but his eyes lit up when I mentioned that it had stinky French cheese and doesn’t he love stinky French cheese. Reading […]
Good day to you all my Galley Friends. I hope you are all well and ready for another treat from my little kitchen. I must admit, that I really have been missing our dear sail boat, and when meal time rolls around I especially miss my very compact but efficient galley. Cooking minimally has become so engrained, that even with more conventional appliances, I still […]
I’m on a roll here bringing you yet another Friends’ Faves recipe. The challenge – baking potatoes. Can you make this without a conventional oven Christine asked? I’m confident was my response. I have ‘baked’ potatoes before – my favourite being the Salted Baked Potatoes and Roasted Garlic (recipe here), and another potato favourite in my galley is Potato Stacks – an elegant way to […]
Broccoli, broccoli and more broccoli! My world and garden are over flowing with broccoli! I’ve been working on another recipe for you using…wait for it….broccoli. Did you try my last recipe for chicken and broccoli balls made in my little Omnia stove top oven? Well, head on over to that recipe right here: Broccoli Chicken Balls. This time I’m using up some leftover mashed potatoes. […]
Now before you go all judgey on me and say that real poutine is fries, gravy and cheese curd…period!, I happen to know after living almost twenty years in Frenchland (Quebec) , there are many ways to skin a poutine. A gazillion ways! For me, this whole poutine thing started two years ago when we sailed our boat R.E.D. to the Gaspe area of the […]
How can you resist all the fresh produce these days? I certainly couldn’t on a recent trip to our local farmers’ market. A big bunch of carrots, new potatoes, fresh green and yellow beans, some shelled peas made the base of one of my favourite East Coast dishes. Hodge Podge is a sort of soup, sort of stew depending if you make it thickened […]
Grilling time folks and this rather tasty meal could never be easier. Just gather all your ingredients together. Divide amongst four sheets of foil and season liberally. The limiting ingredient is the potatoes (depending on the size), so when they are done the rest will be fully cooked, about 20-30 minutes and the corn was so juicy and tender it didn’t even need added butter. […]
I’m afraid that I’m hooked on spicy extreme beans. It used to be dill pickles but oh that spice and crunch sends me over the moon. I buy them in large jars but recently the frugal Galley Kat in me was resenting wasting all that tasty brine. So I made me some pickle brine potato and green bean salad. Within a few minutes pressure cooked […]
