Is there any one like me who gets excited over leftover pasta? These types of meal really speak to my ‘economy of efforts’ boat mentality. It may take a bit of organizing and a little extra planning of your meals, but if you are going to cook up some pasta why not use the energy once? (effort, fuel or electricity, and that precious water) […]
Here I am again showing off my love for this marvellous versatile vegetable CAULIFLOWER. (Psst: if you haven’t tried my Cauliflower (not potato) Salad yet – shame on you!) I have been making Creamy Cauliflower Sauce a long time, in truth before the birth of Sea Salt Galley Kat when I was posting a recipe or three in our little boat blog, R.E.D. sails in […]

Well!… I have to admit that when I provisioned this year I really really really overdid it. Always one to have a contingency plan I loaded up our little boat with a good deal of contingencies.. packaged this, canned that, long term dried stuff, two or three of this or that… you name it, I had it. Now that we have to face unloading and […]

With Indian Summer gone and temperatures dropping, comfort food has become the order of the day… …some pasta of course… …a few chopped veggies… …sautéd, seasoned and savoury… …all ooy gooy and cheesy… ONE POT CHICKEN PASTA […]

Many years ago when Francois and I were dating, we reached that point when I was faced with inviting him to dinner ‘chez moi’. It was intimidating on so many levels. Firstly, my meal preparation revolved solely around cooking for my kids. You know – Mac ‘n Cheese, Shepherds Pie, Fish Sticks, PB&J… and yes, my dear daughter, if you are reading this, I did […]
