Hi there from your absent Galley Kat. We’ve been so busy here in our little home by the sea that I can barely turn around before another round of guests from away arrive. I’ve been told to stop being such a good Welcome to Nova Scotia ambassador but when you’re so much in love with living in paradise it’s really hard for me to stop shouting it from the roof tops. I know that in my last post (recipe here:Easy…
My daughter invited us to dine with her a while ago and made the most delicious vegetarian meal. The flavours for such a simple dish were so intense served with a side of fluffy rice and a few squares of crispy salty paneer, I just had to do a repeat performance for the two of us. My husband, a meat lover, was amazed that a bowl of simple vegetables could be SO good. We had some leftovers so I mashed…
Hi everyone, thanks for dropping by… I’ve been a busy busy Galley Kat this week with projects, both indoors and out, screaming to be attacked. I did, however take the time to write up today’s offering for you… a trifecta of deliciousness… and all plant-based to boot. Tasty veggie packed burger mixture with the added protein punch of crunchy quinoa and salty halloumi….a smearing of home made hummus….and a spicy crispy slaw to round it all out. The carrot mixture…
A very long day, our weekend guests had just left and I really didn’t feel like turning around and making supper. Where’s my glass of wine and foot stool? I’ll just sit here while someone cooks. No offers? No, don’t get up, I take care of it (me walking toward the kitchen). This will have to be a ‘shop my pantry’ meal. I found one head of broccoli in the refrigerator wanting some attention. There was also a can of…
Hello Galley Folks. I’ve been working on some not-so-meaty dishes for you. I try to strike a balance between animal/fish protein and more plant-based meals at least 3 times each week with a soup or chowder meal thrown into the mix. Plus I know that in a few days we will be so turkey-ed out that we’ll need a little belly break. This very repeatable and shareable dish fits in perfectly with a good comfort food vibe. I used chicken…
I thought you might be a bit tired of broccoli (my last two broccoli filled recipes can be found here for Broccoli Chicken Balls and here for Broccoli Potato Cakes) but right along the veggie theme this week is a very share-worthy recipe. Don’t you just love this time of year when fresh local produce is so readily available? The mixture came together really well and unlike a lot of veggie-type burgers that end up a bit crumbly, this actually took on…
I’m the cuckoo bird of the recipe development world. My recipes are for the most part those of what others have created and adapted to fit in with our simple spartan boat galley world. I will always give credit to the originator when possible though. Every once in a blue moon however I do hit one out of the park all by myself. This is one of those occasions. After several weeks of trying out plant-based meal delivery I’ve gained…

Some greens to make it complete All tossed in to buttery pasta then a healthy sprinkle of Parmesan and fresh parsley to round out the dish. Bon appetit and you’re welcome. LEMONY MUSHROOM SPINACH LINGUINE Print Author: Galley Kat Serves: 2 servings Ingredients 1 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp butter 4 generous cups sliced mushrooms 2 cloves garlic, minced 1…
Welcome to another creation for your next Meatless Monday, Galley Peeps. It’s full of tasty mushroom morsels and nutty toothy texture all densely packed into one savoury loaf. I had some leftover wild and brown rice that I had cooked in the pressure cooker the other day so threw that in for extra oomph. And now that we are back on land for the next few months I have a little more space to keep pots of fresh herbs so…
If you are, as we are, trying to cut back on animal protein, I have a great recipe for you. I made the base of it intending on making burgers All mixed together mostly with onhand ingredients, it’s such a treat for us onboard our little boat, in our little galley (I do mean little) to be able to put together a healthy meal without having to go to market for fresh things. I call it shopping my pantry. The…
