A long time ago I ran across an article entitled ‘44 Classic French Meals You Need to Try Before You Die’ so I jumped right in to tackle the list, modifying each one for easier boat galley cooking. Please feel free to scroll through what I was able to accomplish aboard our little 26 foot sailboat with a one-burner alcohol burning stove, a hand pump sink and precious little counter space. You can find them here: 44 Classic French Meals….
Hello there my Galley Folks. Nice of you to drop by today. During a recent camping trip I scored this awesomely delicious recipe from a family friend. She brought some grilled chicken as her contribution to our shared meal one night and it was so good and so juicy. The trick she said was a good long marinade time. She had prepared it ahead, brought it chilled and served it with a crisp salad, making it the perfect addition to…
Comfort food in a jar is what F calls this. It was a rather chilly rainy time in the camper. We had to fire up the heater to take all the humidity from the air it was so damp. The day was spent mostly indoors….that day I made my Soldier Cookies, remember? Well, I had a little two-cup jar of Hamburger Helper mix that I made up a while ago just for such an occasion. Within minutes we had dinner…
Now that we are ‘almost’ into summer camping I’ve been putting together some easy cooking options for taking on the road. This recipe came from a Friend’s Fave submission and it makes the perfect addition to grilling season. I mixed a small mason jar full to store in our camper pantry and cooked up some very tasty chicken today. So far I’ve tried it with fish (oh my…coat, flip and done to perfection in minutes), pork chops, and even used…
Digging into my stash of Friend’s Faves submissions, I found this delicious recipe for easy butter chicken from Ginny, using ground chicken made into tender juicy little meatballs, floating in a buttery tasting tomato sauce. The surprise was how buttery it all tasted with only a small amount of butter added at the end. This would be the perfect time to try making the meatballs, blenditarian style. Never heard of it? Well, it’s a great way to cut down on…
Hi all you Galley Peeps. There has been so much going on in our lives at the moment, namely the sale of our sailboat R.E.D. (story here). It’s thrown a curve ball at us that impacts so much of who we are and what we have been doing up to now. Sea Salt Galley Kat was born out of our love for sailing and for me creating recipes that could be reproduced in my teeny tiny boat galley. We are…
Being the frugal Galley Kat that I am, I really really needed to use up the remains of my muffuletta sandwich ingredients ( MUFFULETTA – sandwich of the Cajun Gods) Some deli meat. Some tasty olive salad. Some provolone cheese. And I just happened to have some extra ground chicken that I was using for a little Butter Chicken meatball affair that I’ve been working on. Then someone asked for my Muffuletta bread recipe so I typed that up and posted…
Well this is fun! I put out feelers on my last post to ask my Galley Peeps to challenge me in my teeny tiny kitchen. Calling it my Friends’ Faves series. Barb’s Sweet Potato Soup was a big hit (recipe here). One of my peeps reached out with this awesomely delicious and super easy chicken recipe. Can you re-create this in your stove top oven she asked? Heck yeh! I even went a step further than I usually do and…
Hi there my Galley Peeps. I’m so glad you dropped by for a visit today. I’m cooking up a delicious Korean meal for you. Some very intense spice going on here but it’s all balanced nicely with crunchy cucumber pickles, steamed broccoli, a pile of fluffy basmati rice (I used the brown version this time) all nestled beside some tasty sautéed ground chicken. The Korean spice isn’t really over the top and you can add or subtract the amount…
The discussion we have every year around Christmas time is ‘to stuff’ or ‘not stuff’….the turkey…not our bellies. Stuffing the bird means a wonderfully flavourful result with all those juices infused into the bread crumbs but cooking is longer to make sure you don’t kill your guests and in my opinion, it tends to over-cook the turkey. So this year the decision has been made to ‘not stuff’. Give a cheer for getting one thing made ahead! All the…
