Potatoes
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
With just one burner to cook our meals onboard I really have to pick and choose what will take centre stage in the galley. It’s why I’m usually careful about leftovers and how those leftovers can be reborn for another time. Tonight was one of those times for two cups of leftover mashed potatoes from […]
We do love our fish. Haven't had a lot of luck catching the critters during our summers on the boat but we do dream someday of improving on this skill. When we are lucky enough to get hold of fresh fish it's a feast aboard. With a little pretending tonight I created this Portuguese dish […]
I made this simple cod dish craving something warming and comforting wishing away those last few days of winter. Originally I’ve made it baked in a conventional oven but realized that it could easily be reproduced in my little Omnia Stove Top. Basic ingredients, readily available. Cod filets poached in milk… …then mixed together with […]
I was so pleased with the results of my little potato stacks (recipe here), that I decided to try another potato side dish. Potato Latkes are one of my all time favourites, especially smothered in rich sour cream or plain Greek yogurt. Years ago while watching the kids’ show Mr. Dress-up (anyone remember him?) with […]
So far I’ve not found anything that requires a conventional oven that I can’t cook in my little Omnia stove top oven. Tonight while my chicken breasts were ‘poaching’ all on their own off-burner (you can read about this ingenious method here) I cooked us these rather elegant little potato morsels. Getting down and dirty […]
