I think my love affair with lentils began several years ago when during a visit with my sister she served her oh so yummy Lemony Lentil Soup (link to recipe) We have since been enjoying many delicious dishes from stews to salads to more soups to lentil veggie cakes and our Meatless Monday quite often features a lentil dish. Lentil meals are also frequent onboard our sailboat. They are the perfect provision. Storage without refrigeration. Economical. They provide quick and…
As cabbage keeps better than lettuce onboard, I have been working on some recipes using cabbage to add to my galley repertoire. Our favourite so far is Japanese Pancakes… Braised cabbage is also an easy addition to a grilled supper and I find that a sprinkle of vinegar adds so much to the flavour, which brings me to the reason for this post… Recently we spent a wonderful evening dining with friends and part of their very generous host gift…
I needed the kale to top a pasta dish but ‘sans’ oven onboard I would normally have to do without. It is possible that it could be done with a grill sheet on the bbq so will give it a try once R.E.D. is in the water again and let you know… CRISPY KALE 4 cups of kale leaves 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil (again with the sesame…) 4 tbsp finely grated Romano cheese…
Another snowy day in paradise calls for comfort food… Potato Latkes are quick and easy addition to breakfast or just on their own… ….grate 2 medium potatoes & 1/2 cup onion add 1 egg stir in 2 tbsp flour salt & pepper Heat oil on grill pan Scoop portions of the potato mixture onto the grill. Brown well on each side and serve. Today I served with eggs for breakfast but my all time favourite is to…

I’ve been seeing a lot of recipes for smashed potatoes lately. They would be easy to prepare onboard… Boil Smash Load Grill Here is my version… Little potatoes Thyme Green onions Lemon Butter Olive oil Cheese of choice, grated Boil potatoes until fork tender Smash with a masher or fork Top each with a teaspoon of lemon butter Drizzle with olive oil Top with green onions & cheese Place a sprig of thyme over each row Place on grill, cover…
I don’t have a crock pot onboard but was curious about the result of this method… 6 medium onions, sliced 1/4 cup olive oil 1/2 tsp sea salt… …stir all together in crock pot and set for 10 hours or until preferred done-ness… …Or… my onboard way of caramelizing.. same amount of onions as above 3 tbsp olive oil 3 tbsp butter 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp sugar Stir all over medium heat until golden (approximately 20-25 minute) Make…
I found this recipe using squash the other day and thought it looked like a healthy seasonal side dish… …it required just a few ingredients, ones that could easily be stored onboard, apples, squash, nuts and what boat doesn’t have a good supply of bacon… The original recipe required oven and stove top so in keeping my simple galley focus I turned it into a one-pan-dish… Butternit Squash & Apple Hash 2 cups diced butternut squash, peeled and diced…
Kale is all the rage these days. My daughter has found ways to use it everywhere from rich green smoothies to salads to casseroles…. For one of our Meatless Mondays I made this. Would have preferred baby kale but the big-less-tender-version was all I could find at our local market today. I don’t have an actual recipe so quantities are variable and this is super easy to throw together with one pan and a tiny galley… Lemon Kale…
