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 […]
Today’s recipe is a little weird, even for me. I’m not vegetarian and certainly not vegan. I do like meat from time to time and now that we are living on the east coast am loving the abundance of fresh fish and seafood sometimes literally at our back door. But I’m really intrigued by some nutrient-rich plant-based dishes. I feel it’s good to learn more […]
I can’t get enough of fresh market tomatoes. Ripe plump so juicy and sweet they make the perfect back drop to any summer meal. Tonight I made this super delicious salad alla caprese style but with the addition of pasta. Any pasta will do but fettuccini was what I had on hand (broken into 2-3″ bits to make eating easier). This one is not too […]
Want an easy side dish for your supper tonight? These stuffed mushrooms were super simple to throw together and very tasty . I can even see them made with smaller mushrooms served as an appetizer. I made six for the two of us but the filling could easily have been enough for eight mushrooms. I really over filled them. I spiced up […]
It’s been far too long since I did a Captain Cooks post and what better way to kick off summer than with one of his yummy grilling recipes. This one is so easy and the best part for she-who-is-in-charge-of-the-galley is there were so few dishes to wash up after…just one serving bowl, our dinner plates, forks and knives. Oh, and Captain’s wine glass. Can’t flip […]
Today’s post is all about the cauliflower. So many things can be made with this unassuming vegetable. I think it’s OK to call a vegetable unassuming. One of my favourites is to use it to make a faux alfredo sauce which I mix in with my Three Cheese Hash Brown Casserole (recipe here) And for a low carb alternative to a summery barbecue picnic type […]
In keeping with our Whole30 reset, I made a typical pasta dish for tonight’s dinner using spaghetti squash to replace the ‘forbidden for now’ grain, and since spaghetti squash is rather bland on its own, I spiced it up with some very zesty grilled shrimp and lots of garlic. I also omitted the Parmesan as per Whole30 regs but it would have added another layer […]
I have a two-for-one post for you today. Tasty, tangy cod poached in a creamy sauce… …and a crunchy vegetable sauté. Once all my ingredients were collected, I prepared the Brussel sprouts and carrots stir-up then set aside to keep warm. If you, like us, have just one burner to use, you could prepare the sauce before the vegetables, then there would be just the […]
Happy Meatless Monday Galley Peeps. The following is a little simple economical vegetarian dish for tonight’s supper loaded with lots of rich layered veggies, some eggs, and milk. Even though I now have the Omnia silicone insert, I still prepare the pan with a good coating of my homemade pan release (recipe here) Topped with freshly grated parmesan. Then baked in my stove top Omnia […]
This has been all over the internet lately, toasting slices of sweet potato. Always kean for ways to eat more veggies, I was up for trying it. What got my interest though was how I could translate it to a boat recipe. We have no toaster on our boat. There’s just so much that can be fit into the already limited space in the galley […]
