Seafood
I don’t think I could ever get tired of eating scallops. Just writing this makes me want to make this easy salad again and again and again. Light plump bites, sprinkled with just a touch of salt flakes and a grind of pepper served over a fresh salad. The beauty of this dish is the […]
This next recipe came about after a long day on the water when all I wanted to do was pour a glass of wine and kick back a bit. You know those days when you ask your significant other what they would like for dinner and all you get is ‘surprise me’. So I poured […]
Several weeks ago now, my eldest son, his beautiful wife and their darling newest addition to the family visited us. As with most of our get-togethers it was all too brief so we packed in as much quality time as possible. Those moments, both past and present, when we are gathered together for meals, are […]
What is it about fluffy white hot dog buns? Certainly not my healthiest choice of breads but when it comes to steamed hot dogs piled with grilled onions or saurkraut and really good mustard they can’t be beat. And for some reason lobster or crab rolls fall into that same something-about-comfort-food-and-childhood-memories category. Here you have […]
A year has ended. Another has arrived all fresh with resolutions and expectations. It’s the time of the year that calls for an extra special meal shared with special guests. A very rich and very easy one-pot supper that I created that has brought back memories of places I’ve lived where lobster was served […]
Isn’t there still room in our summer for an easy delicious salad and something from the grill? Sure is! SEAFOOD BROCHETTES with WATERMELON LENTIL SALAD For Brochettes 8 large scallops 16 shrimp (large enough that 2 wrap around each scallop), peeled, tails on 1/4 cup olive oil 2 tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp smoked paprika […]
Recently when doing some searching for more easy onboard recipes using Jiffy Cornbread Mix (recipe here) I came across several recipes for Cowboy Casserole. I had made a couple of batches of my own clone mix for making Cornbread (recipe here) to bring onboard so thought, why not make this into a Sailor’s Casserole instead using our […]
I promised I would share my recipe for Easy Seafood Stew from a recent land-based dinner party. We had been preparing for our summer departure and I wanted to offer something yummy but I have also been trying to keep my onhand fresh ingredients to a minimum. And there were so many other things going […]
Continuing on with the salad train, here is another fresh and easy recipe that makes a wonderful bursting with flavour main course meal. I used shrimp for this version, but adding some tuna or grilled chicken would be equally as good… SHRIMP CORN BLACK BEAN SALAD 4 side servings 2 generous main servings 2 cups […]
When I was a kid my Mom used to, very rarely, buy a pint of fresh oysters in their liquor, to make the most memorable rich oyster stew. I’ve never made it myself but I can close my eyes and still bring back the sensory memories of how it tasted.. all buttery and creamy. From […]
